36 Oakover Street

East Fremantle WA 6158

Past the flowering gums on the verge and beyond the limestone wall, the expansive front garden is a delight, with citrus and fruit trees, lawn and a circular stone centerpiece with a fountain.

Set back from the street, the wide jarrah verandah and original leadlight entry open to a very wide hallway with traditional ceiling roses, archway, high skirtings and the wide jarrah boards found throughout. Two enormous rooms, one with fireplace, both feature lovely tall original windows overlooking the front garden. Another generous room with fireplace is an ideal lounge room, and the side sleepout could be a playspace, office or teen retreat, with independent entry from the verandah and leading through to another bedroom. The two-roomed kitchen/dining has an original Metters stove, an additional rear space has a wall of storage and there's a sunroom with a lovely outlook through the jacaranda to the back garden.

There is so much space here with a great sense of openness as well as seclusion: full of birdsong by day and very pretty under the big night sky. Sweeping lawns bordered by stone garden beds lead down the pool, surrounded by limestone paving and a wonderful array of fruit trees. This is a real urban orchard, with plum, apricot, nectarine, apple, peach, pomegranate, pear and banana. There's a large garden shed or workshop, and the original outdoor toilet is in working order, with an outdoor shower attached.

The single garage flows through to an additional space for boat or caravan, with access through to the back yard and additional off-street parking out front. The home also features reverse cycle air-conditioning and monitored alarm security.

Presenting with its original features still intact, this home offers an unrivalled opportunity to purchase a gracious residence, set in a streetscape of beautiful homes, to renovate and extend it to create your forever home.

With very few owners since it was built in 1925, this is a rare opportunity to create new family stories here, and enjoy the big-hearted spaces and generous landholding of this much-loved home full of atmosphere.
