Brick and iron federation bungalow built in 1936 in a desirable location on the doorstep of some of the best cafes, bars, and restaurants in South Fremantle. This residence has been modernised for comfort and convenience, with the heritage of the home visible in period features such as high ceilings, jarrah floorboards and decorative fireplaces. The home most likely had a renovation in the 1950s which is to thank for gorgeous Art Deco additions such as decorative ceilings, ceiling roses and terrazzo tile flooring that make this property a real standout.Entering through the front gate, a limestone and timber wall and Eucalyptus trees create a screen of privacy so you can sit on the sweet tiled front porch and enjoy the native courtyard garden.
