61 Tuckfield Street

Fremantle WA 6160

Sitting high on Tuckfield Street in the heart of the Arts Centre Precinct is this rarest of properties - an old character-filled stone house positioned on a large subdivisible block. Possibly the last one! This solid stone and brick house has a surprising number of character features. The original architecture provided very high ceilings, wide timber floorboards, fireplace, and a superb entry hall with an ornate plaster arch. Features of the 1940s and '50s include the Art Deco patterned ceilings and light fittings, along with a deep front veranda with double doors opening onto it from the main bedroom. More recently, a room-sized ensuite has been added, with a shower room separated by floor-to-ceiling glass panels and a fully fitted walk-in robe. The house has up to 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large central lounge with an ornate central fireplace, and a rear kitchen/dining room that overlooks the back garden. A further under croft storage room is accessible from the back of the property. All the rooms are grand in size, with the very wide central hall creating great "flow" and a sense of space. While the house is ripe for renovation, it is only minor works that will have this Grand Old Lady gleaming again. The block is 771sqm and zoned R25, allowing for a comfortable subdivision of the property into two lots, STCA. With the house set well forward on the block, a wide side-access drive and level land at the rear, a remarkably attractive opportunity presents itself.Superbly located on one of Fremantle's favourite streets, Tuckfield Street presents an eclectic mix of new and old housing, offering a wonderful street scape. The location allows for an easy walk to the river, George Street Precinct and Central Fremantle, with the further advantage of the newly created Tuckfield Park. It is also well positioned to take advantage of being in the catchment for John Curtin College of the Arts and East Fremantle Primary School.
