Positioned in the sought-after Plympton Ward, this semi-detached C1890 worker's cottage is a fine expression of a Federation Bungalow style with Gothic influences constructed of limestone, brick, and iron. Located in the John Curtin College of the Arts catchment, this home is an easy five-minute stroll to the George Street precinct. A fabulous old fashioned High Street with boutiques, gourmet eateries and chic bars where you can meet friendly shopkeepers and chat with your neighbours.
The handsome red brick façade is framed by a sweet front porch and full width bull-nosed verandah on timber posts, with a double hung sash window beside the entry door. Inside you are greeted by a long entrance hall with a soaring ceiling and elegant arch mouldings. Passing by two large and light bedrooms, each with its own fireplace, you reach a spacious loungeroom, also with its own fireplace so you can spend cosy winter evenings warmed by its glow. There are floorboards beneath the carpet and large windows create naturally well-lit rooms. The last room off the hallway is a huge bathroom/ laundry combined with convenient built in storage and a bathtub.
The bright tiled dining area is adjacent to a functional kitchen with gas cooking. An exposed limestone feature wall is a standout feature of this space, recalling the history and heritage of the home. A wall of glass doors and windows offer views over the backyard and elevated porch, which was recently rebuilt. The rear yard features the original outdoor lavatory, garden beds and a shed. There's lots of space for you to put your own stamp on the garden, whether that's growing your own vegetables or creating a lush leafy paradise.
Situated in a neighbourhood of historic character homes, this cottage presents a rare opportunity to be part of the desirable East Fremantle community. It is in wonderful proximity to Young George, La Lune café, and the river, or cross the bridge to explore North Fremantle. With East Fremantle Primary School and John Curtin College of the Arts less than 1km away, this historic cottage is perfectly positioned and full of potential.
