Fully renovated and impressively extended to accommodate the modern family, this stunning semi-detached circa-1900 tri-level residence finds itself nestled in one of Fremantle's most treasured streets and even enjoys the most pleasant of ocean views whilst preserving almost all of its classic charm.
A gated access into the front courtyard reveals a delightful bullnose verandah deck and portico that only sets the scene for the period features lying within. Warmed by the home's original Jarrah floorboards and soaring high ceilings with decorative roses and cornices, the entry level plays host to the main accommodation, including three very spacious bedrooms - all layered with carpet for additional comfort.
The large dining room is central and via a solid wooden (Jarrah) staircase leads up to an expansive upper-level lounge or living space with built-in wall-to-wall timber cabinetry, a panelled lofted ceiling and double French doors that extend out to a lovely balcony deck with a wonderful panoramic vista over Fremantle and Fishing Boat Harbour, incorporating the sea, port, Garden Island and more. Also off the dining quarters is a near-new and recently-revamped kitchen and meals area where the resident chef can indulge in even more spectacular views from the window, whilst also appreciating the quality of Corian bench tops, glass splashbacks, ample storage space, an appliance nook, an AEG gas cook top, a Neff electric oven, an integrated Sharp Carousel microwave, a Blanco dishwasher and a range hood amongst other necessities.
The bathroom is sleek and updated, but it is a rear ground-level addition that creates versatility and functionality in the form of a massive sunken family room, tiled and air-conditioned with its very own powder room, access to the laundry/cellar and a handy shopper's entrance from one of two single lock-up garages on the property. This part of the house also extends out to what is arguably the piece de resistance - a private back lawn and garden area surrounded by limestone-retained beds and palms, creating a tropical feel around a shimmering below-ground concrete swimming pool that also leaves plenty of space nearby for outdoor living.
Sitting on a low-maintenance block with all of the hard work already done for you over the years, you can afford to sit back, relax and enjoy easy access and a very close proximity to Fremantle's main town centre and entertainment strip by foot, the vibrant George Street precinct, beaches, public transport and more. What a location and opportunity!
