Steeped in a magical history - serving as a thriving family home to 17 children in the early 1900s, and years later, the residence of Australia's largest thoroughbred horse importer - this charming limestone-constructed, federation cottage has been officially admired for its heritage and aesthetical value. Recognised for its historical significance and streetscape appeal, City of Fremantle Council added the home to its heritage list and Municipal Heritage Inventory in 2018.With wonderfully high ceilings, decorative ceiling roses, glossy jarrah floors, original bay windows and a stunning arched doorway to the formal lounge underscore genuine stately appeal, while limestone and tuckpointing complete its alluring exterior. Delicate red rosettes offset a leadlight framed entrance which reveals an inviting floorplan of space and natural light.Two generous bedrooms at the front of the home each fitted with charming antique, jarrah mantle fireplaces, bay windows and French door access to the front verandah. The master suite has been tastefully refashioned to include access to a modern ensuite and a generous dressing room.An opulent archway feature to the formal loungeroom is testament to the home's architectural era which showcases another stunning, timber-mantled fireplace and north-facing light from a double sash window. The rear of the home is a celebration of more recent times, where a vaulted ceiling adds modern appeal to open plan living, kitchen and dining which overlook enchanting garden views and an elevated timber-decked veranda.Tasteful appointments in the kitchen with granite benchtops, soft-closing white cabinetry, filtered water system, quality appliances including a 4-burner NEFF oven and Bosch dishwasher plus the added bonus of a finely restored fireplace. All of this takes in warm northern light which shines over a charming private garden while the spacious living room is the true hearth of the home.French doors open to a glorious timber-framed verandah which optimises elevated garden views and outdoor-country vibes influenced by abundant birdsong and magnificent old trees. Citrus and an old almond blossom tree, ferns, frangipanis and a grand old peppermint tree are shading an inviting cubbyhouse which complete the peaceful ambience of the garden.
