Here's your chance to get your foot in the door and stuck into a DIY project in a sought-after pocket of Fremantle.
On the market for the first time in 42 years, this character-filled home has pride of place on a gorgeous tree-lined street - just half a block from John Curtin College and East Fremantle Primary. It's a fantastic lifestyle position, less than 1km from the river and 1.5km from Fremantle's city centre, with all the local amenities within easy walking distance.
Constructed in 1900 from limestone quarried from the site, the charming home is in a row of four stand-alone houses that were built by the same builder during Freo's gold rush era. This home has great bones -
the highest ceilings we've seen in a long time, palatial room sizes, luxuriously wide hallways and a north-facing back yard.
It's not going to take much to bring out its full potential. You'll have a great canvas to work with - a lovely street presence, ceiling roses in most rooms, elaborate cornices, three original fireplaces, an ornate hallway arch and large sash windows with pretty garden outlooks. You'll find the original jarrah floorboards under the carpet, where they have been covered up for many decades.
The living areas comprise of an enormous air-conditioned lounge room, which flows into an open plan kitchen/dining area. At the back, there's an undercover alfresco space, established veggie patch and a terraced lawn that catches the summer breeze as well as a great sunset view across the treetops.
