Perched in an elevated position with sweeping views across the ocean, islands and the colourful collection of boats within the protected breakwater, this character-filled 1903 semi-detached cottage captures something truly special about South Fremantle living.
With Fremantle Sailing Club almost on the doorstep and South Beach and the dog beach just moments away, mornings can begin with a swim in the ocean, a walk along the coast or coffee beneath the pines. From here, the best of South Fremantle unfolds around you, with much-loved local favourites including Percy Flint, The Local and Madalena’s, along with the specialty stores, cafés and health providers of South Terrace. Fremantle’s CBD is only a short drive away.
Built from rendered brick and stone, the home retains the warmth and detail of its era. Jarrah floorboards run throughout, complemented by high ceilings, sash windows, Baltic pine doors and skirtings, original fireplaces and a beautiful bay window that draws in natural light while framing the outlook beyond.
The accommodation is wonderfully simple and generous, with two well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with the bay window and air conditioning. A cosy separate lounge also features air conditioning, while the kitchen and dining area has stainless-steel benchtops and the wonderful original Metters stove — a charming reminder of the home’s history.
Outside, the rear garden is an unexpected delight. Private, colourful and protected by its surrounding walls, it creates a sunny sanctuary filled with mature plants, succulents and an impressively productive vegetable garden. Rear access is available via a Right of Carriageway, while a separate brick and iron second toilet sits within the garden.
There is plenty to love exactly as it is, but also exciting potential for the future. Whether you choose to extend, explore building upwards or simply settle in and enjoy its character, garden and remarkable coastal position, this is a home with possibilities.
Character homes can be recreated. Positions like this simply cannot.
