Sitting on high looking over East Fremantle with the river at the end of the street, you can feel the layers of history in this substantial turn-of the century home. Imagine making the most of the elevation, with sweeping river views from a possible second storey (STCA). It’s a wonderful community neighbourhood with George Street around the corner, central Fremantle a walk away, excellent local schools nearby and the delights of the river on your doorstep.

All the historic architecture is there: thick walls, generous spaces, jarrah floors, ceiling roses and wide arched hallway. Mid-century interventions added Italian style, including imported chandeliers, decorative tiling and fabulous wallpapers. The choices here are all yours: retain the features you love, restore to classic Federation interiors, or renovate for a new era.

Through the front gate and across the paved courtyard, step up to a wide elevated terrace sitting above the streetscapes. The home opens to the traditional wide arched hallway, with unusually high ceilings giving a wonderful sense of space. Two expansive, jarrah-floored bedrooms open from the hallway, one with a big picture window and long views. Living spaces flow on the northern side, as a lounge room opens through French doors to the terrace. Timber and glass sliding doors connect the living to the dining room, with detailed ceiling plasterwork and one of those extravagant chandeliers. More French doors lead through to the kitchen, which is a model of retro design. A third bedroom is at the rear of the home, where mosaic floors flow through to the laundry, separate toilet and original fifties bathroom with purple bath and amazing tiling. A long sunroom runs along the back of the home, for playroom, study spaces or games room.

There’s a great sense of elevation at the rear, where you’ll find a high paved area with frangipani and citrus, a working outdoor toilet, plus a storeroom or studio. Out front, the garage is part of a large undercroft with workshop space and storage zone, as well as additional parking in the driveway.

Seize the moment and secure a fantastic location by the river, and a welcoming home full of history, personality and possibility.
