Tucked behind its classic cottage façade and bull-nose verandah, 24 Chalmers Street is anything but predictable. Thoughtfully transformed from an original character home into a stylish, solar-passive retreat, it balances old-world charm with modern, low-maintenance living right on the Fremantle fringe.
Inside, timber features and glossy baltic pine floors sit comfortably alongside polished concrete, stone benchtops and industrial accents. At the heart of the home, a north-facing kitchen and living area spills out to a private, leafy courtyard - a lovely spot for a quiet morning coffee, long lunches with friends or letting the kids and pets roam in the fully fenced yard. Expansive double-glazed windows draw in natural light while helping keep the home energy-efficient and comfortable year round.
This is a home designed for sustainable, cost-effective living, with solar power and battery storage working alongside its solar-passive design to help keep running costs down.
Accommodation is generous, with three well-sized bedrooms, two at the front under the original cottage roofline, and an elevated main suite at the rear of the home, creating a peaceful retreat with its own bathroom. A second modern bathroom services family and guests with ease.
A sunken study/library/play area offers valuable extra space and flexibility, ideal for those working from home, a cosy reading nook or a dedicated kids' zone. Ceiling fans to all rooms, a wood fire and air-conditioning to the living area keep things comfortable in every season.
Practicalities are well covered too, with a 6x3m lock-up garage, rear lane access to the backyard and shed, and a secure, fully fenced block. Families will also appreciate the sought-after school zoning, with the home falling within the John Curtin College of the Arts and East Fremantle Primary School catchments.
If you've been looking for a Fremantle home that offers character, contemporary comfort and a clever use of space, this one deserves a spot at the top of your list.
