25 Solomon Street, Mosman Park WA 6012

Pretty cottage, perfect position, amazing potential

Walk west to the beach, or east to the river on Mosman Bay from this delightful weatherboard and iron cottage perfectly positioned to enjoy right now, and with endless potential to make the most of this brilliant location. Take the dog for a run on Mann oval three doors down, walk over to dine in Glyde Street, take in a movie at Camelot outdoor cinema, or stroll to your local Mosman Park shopping centre for everything you need, from the supermarket to the post office and pilates. This is a lovely part of the world: quiet, treed streets, a friendly community vibe, and excellent schools. Backing onto Linder Lane and Black Lane, the property is ideally configured to accommodate plans for the future, and the original cottage has already been improved, offering plenty of charm and atmosphere.

The original Jarrah floorboards have been restored, and the cottage has been re-roofed, re-wired and re-stumped, with reticulated lawn and gardens, solar power, an outdoor loo built to match the cottage weatherboard style, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. The home has been opened up inside to flow to a large living space with concrete floors, a pot-belly stove, northern light, and sliding doors to the patio. The lemon tree is prolific, and there’s also pear, avocado and a grove of olive trees. At the bottom of the garden, a massive powered workshop opens to the rear lane.

Out front, the cottage presents a pretty picture, with paved off-street parking, a natural timber picket fence, frangipanis, liquid amber, and a brick path through the lawn leading to the traditional veranda and a black front door. High ceilings, high skirtings and white-painted timber dados are among the character features, and two air-conditioned bedrooms spanning the central hallway both have ceiling fans and fireplaces. The kitchen flows to a spacious dining area and the white bathroom. It’s all done simply, making it really easy to live in and also giving flexibility for the future. Approved plans are available to view, detailing a contemporary re-build retaining the historic façade.

This is has it all: between the river and the beach, charming character atmosphere, and all the flexibility to grow with you and your family in a wonderful neighbourhood by the park.
