ABSOLUTE CHARACTER AND CHARM

Sale Process:
This is an End Date Sale using the RESO Platform with the sale end date at 2.00pm (AWST) Wednesday 12th Feb (unless sold prior).

Privately positioned behind a classic brick pier and white picket fence, this beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage is an absolute gem in the vibrant George Street heritage precinct of East Fremantle and footsteps to the array of cafes and restaurants in this buzzing locale.

With its gorgeous garden, spacious rear studio and timeless overall appeal, this East Fremantle charmer effortlessly blends classic character with modern living. Step inside to discover a stylish fusion of limestone, recycled brick and stained-glass windows, complemented by soaring high ceilings and solid aged jarrah floorboards that warm the interior throughout. Traditional limestone walls and turned timber posts greet you at the front, leading into a generous hallway that flows past three spacious bedrooms – and precedes an expansive living room, a modernised kitchen, a separate study (or home office), a light-filled bathroom, separate laundry and a decent storeroom. In addition, you have the potential to create a generous sized external underground wine cellar.

A huge rear garden is shaded by established trees and vines – perfect for outdoor entertaining or a simple tranquil retreat. The spacious back studio offers endless possibilities – whether you envision a teenage retreat, a “granny flat” or a creative workspace for your arts and crafts. There is also undercover parking to accompany walking distance proximity down to the river (with surprise views from the street front), lush green parks, East Fremantle Primary School, John Curtin College of the Arts, the Royal Fremantle Golf Club and the buzzing bar, restaurant and café precincts of neighbouring Fremantle, North Fremantle and South Fremantle. The word “convenient” is an understatement here, because this spectacular residence is destined to impress in so many different ways!
