37 Lilly Street

South Fremantle WA 6162

A high limestone wall on Attfield Street is a well-known South Freo landmark, originally the stable walls for a property that still runs through to Lilly Street. This massive 1156 sqm block (zoned R30) is a remarkable rarity in this beachside location, with a substantial home on Lilly Street that has been in the same family for over sixty years. This is an outstanding opportunity with all the options for redevelopment: easy access from two roads, and the chance to maximise the northern orientation. However you choose to make the most of it, the location couldn't be better: a friendly community where you can walk to South Freo restaurants, bars and shopping, and stroll down to the beach for a swim.37 Lilly was built in the 1890s, and the original stone home was later transformed in Italian style as a spacious family home over two levels. The massive block leading down to the stable walls on Attfield Street has been a treasured place for grapevines, fruit trees, productive gardens, and a series of outbuildings, including one for making wine. The positioning of the original home on the street front on Lilly, with a very wide paved area to the south for parking, makes it ideally flexible for future plans.The home and veranda sit above the street, and the four original bedrooms are unusually large, with high ceilings and jarrah floors to be uncovered. It opens up to an expansive living room, with sliding doors to a dining room that flows to a kitchen with generous space for the central kitchen table. The mid-century tiling is spectacular, and there is also a bathroom and powder room on this level. On the southern deck, a slice of ocean through the trees shows how high up you are. Downstairs is another kitchen, laundry, and shower room.Out the back the land stretches on forever, with figs, grapes, olives, sheds, and more (including the original outdoor loo). It all leads down to the heritage-listed stable wall that is such a fabulous feature, and also allows driveway access from Attfield Street.This is a magical place full of layers of South Freo history, plus every possibility for the future.
