36 Wardie Street

South Fremantle WA 6162

The original home was constructed in 1911 and is a typical example of a worker's cottage, however what lays beyond this sweet facade is anything but typical.Behind a white picket fence, a symmetrical facade presents paired double hung windows with spayed architraves and painted jarrah weatherboard cladding, making number 36 an excellent example of traditional South Fremantle architecture. The street elevation includes a full width verandah with wide jarrah decking boards and bridge from the footpath.This light-filled, unique, and versatile home creates the perfect base for a few updates, a renovation or even a second story expansion (subject to council approval). Beautiful wooden floorboards, high ceilings and ornate features bring a touch of yesteryear and flows seamlessly to the extension.Beyond the traditional residence is a modern addition which creates an open plan living space orientated for passive solar design. The rear of the home is fully open to the north, with recycled multi paned double hung windows within a cathedral ceiling and paired gabled ends. Cleverly designed with energy conservation in mind, the living room addition contains a mass concrete floor. In Winter the low angle of the daytime sun warms the flooring and creates a cosy atmosphere. Conversely in Summer when the sun is high, no harsh sun enters in the peak of Summer, with the floor and room remaining cool. Reverse brick veneer in the new addition and insulation added behind the weatherboard also help to regulate the internal temperature year-round.Located ideally amongst quality family homes, it is just a short stroll to South Tce cafe strip, Mills & Wares Park, South Beach and Fremantle Sailing Club. Walk to quality restaurants, cafes and amenities and explore a little further to find Freo Farmers Market, Fremantle Markets, schools, and shopping centers.Come along to the next scheduled open or call now to book a viewing.
