11 Forrest Street, Fremantle WA 6160

A charming tuckpointed brick and iron 1905 home is set behind a wide verge and productive gardens, with little hint of what lies beyond. An expansive extension offers open plan living, leading to an elevated terrace walled by glass and corten steel. Below is the saltwater pool, sitting above a series of secluded garden zones complete with gazebo, chicken coop, guinea pig enclosure, garden shed, veggie beds, fruit trees, and a cubby in the mulberry tree. There’s another surprise on the home’s lower level: a massive four-car garage, workshop zone and storage area, as well as a bathroom for post-pool showers. Up top, the attic room is another bonus. On a big block in the community hub by Horrie Long Park and a short walk to East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin, this solar-powered family home is full of individuality and masses of flexible space for everyone.

Beyond the gum tree and olive tree on the verge and behind the white limestone wall, mulberry, macadamia, lime and orange trees surround the grapevine arbour that leads to the north-facing veranda. An unusual tuckpointed brick archway is among the treasured historic features, leading to a wide hallway and jarrah floors. Two large original bedrooms face the veranda, and the hall opens to the living room with working fireplace. Another fireplace has been retained in the contemporary bathroom adjacent, for indulging in winter baths by the fire.

Beyond is the world of the new: vast bamboo-floored open plan living and dining, with a wide stone island in the kitchen, as well as stainless steel benchtops and appliances. The master bedroom has a walk-in-robe, wall of storage and a modern ensuite, and you can step out to the terrace above the pool. It’s all light and bright, with a lovely green aspect over the treetops.

Stairs lead down to the laundry and another bathroom, with handy exterior access, next to the huge garage and workshop. There’s additional verge parking and a carport out front. The jarrah-floored attic room offers even more space for an additional living or work zone.

Near the park, the river and George Street, there is a special atmosphere in this home and gardens: you feel you’re living in the country while the centre of town is a walk away.

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.
