The price has moved with the times. Don't wait for banks to tighten up, make your move into Fremantle today! If you're looking for a first home but want to live in Fremantle; or maybe a downsizer that has space and zones but is really low maintenance; or you just want something that is easy to care for, a lock and leave but is close to parks and schools for the kids then this home on Forrest street offers a fabulous opportunity.
A solid home built in 2000, this two storey rendered house is economical but has a really great layout that maximises the feeling of space, starting with when you enter. The hallway opens to a void soaring to the top of the second storey and then flows through into the open plan living area. This encompasses the lounge, dining and kitchen. You will always feel part of everything in this space. Each area is sufficient for a family, with plenty of storage in the kitchen and laundry annex at the rear for the modern family. The dining area can hold a table sitting 8 easily and the lounge area is ample. Raked ceilings across the kitchen open the area significantly and the exposed timber beams on the ceiling and decorative timber friezes in the doorways add charm and warmth to the room. Glass French Doors open onto the undercover entertainment area and courtyard garden, giving a lovely vista to the living space and a very private and pretty place to entertain guests.
There are two bedrooms on the ground floor both with built in robes and the family bath and some roomy under stair storage as well.
Upstairs you have a fabulous master suite and parent's retreat. Glossy polished bamboo flooring leads up the stairway to the mezzanine retreat, that makes a perfect sitting room to escape and watch TV, a study, or a craft area, or all three! This space is light, airy and spacious. A real bonus room! The master suite is also generous, with an ensuite and walk in robe. All the bedrooms have split system air-conditioning, keeping the home cool in summer and warm and cosy in winter.
Safe and secure, this home is a great lock and leave with security alarm, lock up garage and privacy from the road.
Tucked away at the rear of the original home, this property does share the driveway with the rear home next door, but it does have a double lock up garage and room for two more cars to be parked out the front. And if you prefer a low maintenance yard but like the idea of grass, you are literally across the road from parks and sporting grounds, so plenty of greenspace for the dogs to have a good run everyday!
The home and location are great value for money, being a very easy distance from East Fremantle Primary School, John Curtin and a short drive or bus ride into the heart of Fremantle with ample public transport just around the corner on Marmion, And you wont miss out on coffee with the Nine Seeds and the Cool Room both within strolling distance.
This is a great option for people who want to live the Fremantle lifestyle but prefer a newer home and not to be right in the hub of town with parking issues and narrow roads. Also if you work in the city, you're half way there already and its just straight onto the Leach Highway and away!
This home has been the loved residence of a growing family for many years and now that its time for them to follow their next phase, it presents an opportunity for you to get in to this little slice of Fremantle and start enjoying your new home on Forrest!
