Poised proudly on an elevated 508sqm site, this c.1900 Federation home captures the enduring character of Plympton Ward’s treasured heritage precinct. Built from limestone and brick beneath an iron roof, this much-loved residence forms an integral part of East Fremantle’s historic streetscape.
The home’s symmetrical front elevation, complete with a traditional front door with stained glass details and a classic bullnose verandah, sets an elegant first impression. From its commanding hillside position, it enjoys river and ocean aspects, with the opportunity for even more spectacular views through future additions.
Stepping inside, polished jarrah floors, a central hallway and soaring high ceilings speak to the impeccable craftsmanship of the era. Leadlight windows and beautifully crafted timber-and-glass French doors enhance the home’s refined, heritage-rich ambience.
To one side of the hallway, the grand formal living and dining rooms offer an exceptional sense of scale. Each room is anchored by an open fireplace set within a shared central chimney, complete with original surrounds and tiling – features that are truly beautiful, wonderfully preserved and full of character. These rooms provide the ideal setting for both gracious entertaining and relaxed family living.
The timber kitchen, fitted with granite benchtops and a timber dresser, overlooks the pretty rear gardens. The adjoining breakfast room and family area are filled with natural light and extend seamlessly outdoors through three sets French doors. Beyond, paved walkways meander through a charming cottage-style garden where roses, shady lawns and a tranquil pond create a peaceful retreat. A quaint heritage outbuilding, once the property’s original outdoor toilet, now serves as a delightful garden shed.
Three generous bedrooms form part of the home’s original layout, while the terrazzo bathroom adds another touch of classic vintage appeal. Solar panels provide practical modern comfort and the elevated front porch offers the perfect vantage point for morning coffee or evening wine as cooling breezes rise from the river and ocean below. Secure parking is located at the rear, accessed via a shared side driveway with gated entry.
Families will value the property’s inclusion within the East Fremantle Primary School and John Curtin College of the Arts catchments, reinforcing its appeal for those seeking both lifestyle and location.
Just moments from the river and the vibrant heart of George Street, the home enjoys effortless access to cafés, boutiques and a lively calendar of community events. The close-knit neighbourhood spirit shines through during the annual George Street Festival, Halloween celebrations and Christmas street gatherings. Parks, riverside paths, Fremantle, beaches and everyday amenities are all close by, underscoring the convenience and charm of this highly desirable address.
An exceptional heritage home in an unbeatable setting – ready to be enjoyed for the next generation.
