40 South Street, Fremantle WA 6160

125 years ago, a timber and iron cottage was built about five minutes’ walk from the place where the fishermen gathered to sell their catch. That place became the Fishing Boat Harbour, and this charming piece of Fremantle’s history still enjoys that proximity to the ocean, as well as the vibrant lifestyle that now comes with this fantastic location right on the South Fremantle border.

Towards the quiet west end of the street, set back behind a bountiful olive tree, this is a classic piece of Fremantle vernacular architecture from the white-painted weatherboards and iron-roofed veranda though to the old stable for garage or workshop out the back. Inside, the original atmosphere is retained with wide jarrah boards, timber linings and high skirtings. The two generous bedrooms are at the front of the home, one with a decorative timber surround to the fireplace and French doors to the veranda. Step down to the simple white kitchen, where a fabulous old blue Metters stove adds a colourful touch, with air-conditioning for modern comfort. Adjacent is a cosy living space or tv room, a blue-and-white bathroom with heated towel rails, and a separate laundry. A sunroom or dining space leads through to a delightfully sheltered north-facing alfresco with recycled brick paving, limestone garden beds, original brick outdoor loo, and a single garage or workshop/studio at the end of the shared driveway. There is more paved off-street parking out front.

It all adds up to irreplaceable character in a great neighbourhood: walk to South Beach in one direction and Freo centre in the other, and enjoy the bars, cafes, restaurants, concerts, shopping and galleries and that all make this part of the world a wonderful place to live.

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.
