Last Listing description (November 2024)

This renovated and extended heritage cottage has a truly bright and creative coastal vibe, designed and executed to a high standard by the current owners. Featuring boutique and imported fixtures and fittings sympathetic to the history of the home as well as the coastal retreat aesthetic, with scope to further extend if desired. Located on one of South Fremantle's premier streets just 450m from South Beach with direct beach access via a walkway at the end of the cul-de-sac. And the added bonus of an as new, self-contained studio with separate access that offers a flexible living space with a number of potential uses.

This character filled c1903 workers' cottage, as the history is told, was once set amongst horse stables and home to the local farrier. At the front of the home, you are greeted by a bullnose verandah. The original front half of the home offers two spacious bedrooms off a central hallway with jarrah floorboards under the easy-care floor covering. The room to the right has an enclosed sleep out, the weatherboard could easily be converted to a walk in robe or ensuite.

The well-lit open plan living area looks out to a peaceful patio. The kitchen, designed by the current owner who was a chef, is a wonderfully functional yet beautiful space with pressed tin, a teal backsplash, and timber benchtops. Open stainless steel cabinetry sits off the ground for easy access and cleaning, and an under-counter industrial fridge saves on space. Turntable racks in the cupboards offer smart storage solutions and the kitchen is complete with a deep farmhouse sink. Off the kitchen and dining area, the staircase leads to an abundant light filled space, with wonderful cathedral style ceiling and timber flooring. An ideal lounge, this special space could also function as an additional bedroom, artist's retreat, yoga studio or home office.

Off the kitchen a recently renovated hallway with customised sliding barn doors and stained-glass windows leads to a bathroom with vivid full height tiling, tapware and sink imported from Marrakech and a luxurious deep freestanding bathtub. There is also a powder room, laundry with storage and the stunning main bedroom suite. This room is a total sanctuary, its raked cathedral ceiling, walk in robe, and handcrafted brass sconces from Morocco lends to a coastal boutique resort feel. French doors open out to a north-facing verandah which could be converted to a carport if desired. Plans have also been approved to add a galley ensuite here.

Off the lounge, timber French doors open out to a peaceful, mediterranean style patio with limestone seating and garden beds built around a central pond with a fountain. Further into the backyard a hot/ cold outdoor shower provides the perfect spot to wash off after a swim, or shower under the stars year-round. The studio set amongst terraced gardens has a separate entrance providing myriad options for use, including guest accommodation, multi-generational family living, or a source of passive income as short or long-term rental accommodation. Larger than expected inside, the studio affords high ceilings and timber floors, a striking red kitchen with an induction cooktop, spacious bedroom, renovated bathroom, an open plan living with split system air conditioner, and a private gabled patio.

Set in a wonderful street scape of period homes with a lack of through-traffic encouraging lots of birdlife, this boutique, bohemian cottage extended and renovated to a high standard has everything you could want in a forever home. This tightly held location in the catchment for South Fremantle High School has a strong community with many long-term residents. Embrace a wonderful walkable lifestyle just 10 minutes stroll to South Fremantle Marketplace with Woolworths, Aldi and specialty shops, and five minutes from the South Freo caf strip. Or pop in the car and head into Fremantle, to the river or one of several beaches nearby.
