57 Sewell Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

In the goldrush of the 1890s, worker’s cottages of limestone, brick and timber began to line the streets of Plympton, and this Sewell Street treasure is a fine example. This riverside neighbourhood is a lovely place to live: warm community life, school, park, the restaurants and cafes of George Street around the corner, and the rich architectural history of homes like this one. One of a pair, with bullnose veranda, bay window, high ceilings and Oregon floors, it is full of atmosphere. Enjoy the easy liveability right now.

Behind the hedge and shaded by the big mandarin tree, the jarrah veranda frames the classic exterior, with a pair of double-hung sashes in the bay window. Inside, the arched entry hallway has honey-coloured Oregon floors, lofty ceilings and fabulous timber dado wall features painted white. The home’s exterior is also white, but the identical home next door displays beautifully detailed tuckpointed brick, to show you what is underneath if you are ever tempted to restore back to the original.

The main bedroom overlooks the veranda, with a grand internal arch framing the bay window. Oregon floors continue in the second bedroom, then the hallway door leads to the lounge room, with a gas log fire in the cast iron surround. Beyond is a white, jarrah-floored modern kitchen with glass splashback, and the bathroom with marble-topped vanity.

A sunroom has been added at the rear, that could also be a dining room or second living area. Step down to the backyard, which is a lovely space full of potential: shady gum trees, limestone garden beds, and a timber outbuilding with laundry and original loo.

Thick stone walls and historic atmosphere are irreplaceable, and everybody loves living in that very special group of streets in the Plympton ward by the river. Start by exploring how your future might unfold at 57 Sewell.

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.
