1B Knutsford Street

Fremantle WA 6160

Character features abound - soaring high ceilings, stunning heritage fireplaces (two made from marble), beautiful floorboards and exquisite jarrah timber work. Large windows enhance the feeling of space throughout and French doors from two front bedrooms open to the wrap-around verandah. Bathed in afternoon sun, this is a wonderful place to soak up the harbour views, the magical sunsets and watch the storms roll in off the Indian Ocean.

At the rear of the house, the casual dining area and kitchen are set in a stunning half-hexagon room. Wrapped in windows, this space is filled with light and garden outlooks. A trap-door leads to a deep, circular wine cellar underground - the original well servicing the property (local legend has it that this well comes close to connecting with the prison tunnels). Not just an optimum place to store wine, cheese and cured meats, this is also the grandkids' favourite place to play!

Moving through to the gracious formal living areas, lofty 5.5m ceilings soar overhead and there are folding doors should you wish to divide the room in two. French doors open to paved courtyards on both sides, offering a choice of picturesque outdoor areas and allowing the fresh sea breeze to flow through on hot days. Surrounded by garden walls, the property enjoys totally privacy, with mature trees providing shade and gorgeous dappled light.

Set in a sought after heritage neighbourhood, this home is just moments from Monument Hill and a quick walk to the heart of Fremantle. The home is completely livable as is, with scope for minor renovations should you wish to add to its value down the track. This is a very special piece of local history, with an elegant one-of-a-kind personality that's often sought but seldom found.
