30 Silas Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

The authenticity of this 1920s timber and iron cottage has been celebrated with an impeccable extension and renovation. The original features and historic atmosphere are respected, and enhanced with superbly designed kitchen and bathrooms, seamless indoor outdoor living, and a pool amidst lovely gardens. Opposite treed open space with local shopping, salons and George Street restaurants a walk away.

A limestone-walled courtyard with flourishing native plantings frames the classic weatherboard exterior, with central gable, two sets of triple casement windows, and a native vine entwined above the elevated veranda. Inside, jarrah floors flow throughout, and the unusual ceilings reflect the design detail of the 1920s. Two bedrooms look out to the veranda and gardens, with fine blinds and white linen drapes on the original windows. That fresh interior design continues in the master bedroom and bright white en-suite.

In the open-plan living, stackable timber and glass doors bring the outside in, embracing the elevated deck for outdoor dining. This is a wonderful house for entertaining, and the kitchen is beautifully done: engineered stone tops in flecked aggregate, extensive white cabinetry, splashback in handmade tiling, fine appliances, suspended industrial lighting, and a pressed tin fascia on the island bench in keeping with the home’s heritage. A sliding timber barn door leads to the new bathroom in simply luxurious contemporary design: natural travertine floors, freestanding bath, floating marri vanity, and wall tiling in soft mint and white.

Outside, terraced gardens cascade from the alfresco down to the lawn, and the garden is a labour of love, including raised timber veggie and herb beds, and a sandpit for the children to play. The pool is screened by greenery, and a large thatched gazebo at the end of the garden is cool and relaxed. The original outdoor loo is handy, there’s a garden shed, and the alfresco is surrounded by blinds to make it an all-weather space. The single garage is currently configured as an office, with ample parking in the gated driveway.

The restoration and reinvention of this charming cottage has been a treasured project, and now offers a privileged opportunity for the next family to call it home.

This sale and move must have been the most professional and smooth-flowing that we have experienced, having done 20 over the years.

The key to this feeling was Catherine, a charming and lovely young lady whose communication skills were without question the very best. Nothing was too much, and her concern for us and our needs was beyond reproach; we feel that she became one of our family, and we will miss her interaction and friendliness.

Catherine made every step of selling my property easy

Catherine and the team are very approachable and really make it feel like you’re on the same side! This family feel at White House have all the knowledge we needed regarding comparative sales, previously sold properties that were very similar to mine, and exact price guides. I can’t recommend Catherine enough, as she really does know the real estate market and made me feel very safe in the sale of the family home.

Thank you, Carlie!

From the moment I met Carlie, I knew she was the right agent for us. She’s professional, approachable, and truly knows the North Coogee market—because she lives there. She listened to our needs, kept us informed, and never pressured us. Her calm, honest approach made selling far less stressful. Her team was also fantastic. I’d recommend Carlie without hesitation—she turned a daunting process into a smooth and positive experience.

Highly recommended

Well handled from start to finish. Helped me with knowledgeable decisions to overcome a couple of small hurdles during the selling process. I had the option of using a previous agent, but I’m glad I switched and decided to trust Curtis. No doubt I made the right choice.
