Live in a historical precinct walking distance to the beach, river and all the best cafes and restaurants of North Fremantle in this beautiful, light-filled heritage home that can be used for both residential or commercial purposes.
A classic Victorian Georgian style duplex built in the 1890s, this brick tuckpointed home is one of the iconic Tydeman Road workers cottages; a line of neat duplexes that many admire as they drive home from the beach.
Teamed with its locale - Tydeman Road has a close-knit, friendly community, with regular street parties - this is a wonderful opportunity to land a special piece of North Fremantle real estate just minutes from the ocean's edge.
Beyond its private frontage lies a home full of timeless character. Original jarrah floorboards, soaring decorative ceilings, wide hallways and fireplaces create an inviting atmosphere, while the generous proportions will surprise those expecting a typical cottage.
Today it is a perfect home that holds appeal for professional couples, singles, young families, FIFO workers, downsizers or retirees, as well as those located in the country looking for a city base close to the beach. The house is also ideal for those who work from home, with scope for a front office.
A tidy tuckpointed elevation with fresh white painted trim and front veranda encompasses a glossy black antique front door. 3.4m high ceilings and archways with ornate corbels draw your attention as you enter the home. At 17m, the hallway runs the length of the property, and is wide enough for adding a gallery wall or even wall storage if desired. Original light switches, vintage solid timber internal doors and original jarrah floorboards, add to the warmth of the interior.
The spacious living room is centered around a fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming place to relax throughout the seasons. A functional kitchen and bathroom sit to the rear of the home, opening onto a north-facing paved courtyard where established trees provide welcome shade for long lunches, relaxed summer dinners and entertaining family and friends.
All three bedrooms are generously proportioned, making the home equally suited to couples, young families or those looking for extra space to work from home. The front bedroom has a ceiling rose, blockout blind to the window and fireplace. Next door is another spacious bedroom, with a sash window facing West and another original fireplace.
One of the lovely features of this home is its bright feel - with the property's North West orientation the courtyard garden, kitchen, living room and both centre bedrooms receive natural light throughout the day.
The north-facing garden offers plenty of scope for those who love to entertain. With a feeling of privacy, this is an outdoor space that feels special. Have friends over for a wine at sundown before wandering down the road for dinner at one of the restaurants on Queen Victoria Street.
Although there is no parking within the property itself, there is ample street parking nearby. Subject to the relevant approvals, many neighbouring homes have converted their front courtyards into off-street parking, offering future potential for those who desire it.
Dining and cafe-wise you are spoilt for choice here, with nearby hotspots including Pearla & Co, Mrs Brown Bar, Flipside Burgers, Brucetown, Bib and Tucker, Orange Box and MRKT Space, among others.
Whether it is left just as it is or adapted, this is a wonderful home with location and warmth. Come and see.
