60's character home .....761sqm elevated block with views....walk to Freo.....ready to extend and prosper.
This fabulous 60's character home is perfectly located in a tree lined street, within walking distance to Fremantle, and is one of the highest blocks in White Gum Valley. The surrounding views are outstanding, and are considerably enhanced by the home's solid limestone foundations, which mean there are no less than twelve steps up to the main entrance, giving the front balcony a commanding outlook.
The house has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen/dining, lounge, laundry and 2 lock- up garages as well as a series of under-croft cellar rooms. The carpets have been removed to exposure the delightful, untouched jarrah tongue and groove boards throughout, the high ceilings have all their original 1960s decorative plaster intact, and there are a couple of the original light fittings.
The front door leads to a wide formal entrance hall, opening to the right to a good sized front lounge. This room draws you immediately to the extra large picture window to soak up the views and elevation of this home. At the rear of the room, sliding glass inset doors lead to the original kitchen with authentic, tiled kitchen mantle, glass overhead cupboards and a casement window over the sink that looks directly west. Standing at the sink, you can catch the Fremantle sunsets every night.
There are 2 extra-large bedrooms off the main hall, one with views to the front, and both have close access to the bathroom. The back of the home has a 3rd bedroom and large laundry room with toilet.
At the rear of the home is an entertainer's sized patio area looking out to a wide open back garden. Dotted with a few fruit trees and a central path to the back fence, you can immediately feel the potential to fully utilise this enormous land holding. At ground level it looks out to the roof tops of all surrounding homes. This area is level and ready to extend the original cottage and take in the best views of White Gum Valley, the sunsets, and the Norfolk pines in the distance. This could become one of the most commanding homes in the valley.
