62 East Street

East Fremantle WA 6158

Built in 1900 and reinvented a century later with a sympathetic, light-filled addition offering a wonderful diversity of river, port and ocean views, this gracious and private stone home is perfectly located a stroll from the river, with the cafes and boutiques of George St just around the corner.
With big spaces, high ceilings and beautiful old wide jarrah floors, there's a lovely feeling of openness and ease, along with the convenience of different living zones, as the bedrooms and lounge room at the front of the home can be quite separated from the rear living area with its lofty extension leading to the master suite and study upstairs.

The walled, sheltered garden with its raised limestone garden beds and generous verandah welcomes you to the original part of the home, with two spacious bedrooms overlooking the front garden, a third bedroom with fine built-in jarrah cupboards and a long, elegant lounge room filled with northern light and a warming pot-belly stove in its ornate jarrah fire surround.
Double doors open to the custom-designed kitchen with Italian granite benchtops, jarrah and leadlight features and a brand new Ilve stove.

The adjacent huge dining space is a delight, surrounded by windows to the north and east, with a trapdoor leading down to the cellar to make dinner parties a real adventure and to keep the wine close at hand!
Step down to the glass-walled living area and you discover one of the loveliest spots in the house - with high ceilings to match the original house and surrounded by superb, tall, jarrah-framed glass doors and windows, you feel as though you're living in the garden. This room opens up to the sheltered, north-facing alfresco, where you can enjoy the pretty, low-maintenance rear garden, which has a handy brick storage shed as well as the original outdoor loo.
Also downstairs are the blue-and-white tiled bathroom with double vanity, a powder room and a well-located laundry tucked away with direct access to the outside.

Jarrah stairs, with creative triangular highlight windows to the south, lead you to the upstairs living suite, with a cosy study with built-in corner desk where you can enjoy the treetop views over the neighbourhood and observe the wonderful birdlife that abounds in this leafy spot.
The very private master bedroom, with en-suite and plenty of built-in storage, is filled with light from its northern windows and opens to the upstairs balcony. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the various perspectives on the river, the port, Leighton Beach and over the ocean to Rottnest.

Right on the Fremantle border this location is hard to beat, with direct access to the river and the bridges, a ten-minute walk to the centre of town, a safe stroll up the hill to East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin College of the Arts, just near George St
and close to Fremantle Arts Centre as well as the Fremantle pool and gym.
More important still, this part of town is renowned for its friendliness, with a priceless sense of community awaiting the fortunate new owner of 62 East St.
