Sheltered behind white picket fencing and a screen of greenery, century-old character has been totally refreshed. Nestled between Marine and South Terraces, with the ambience of a sleepy seaside street, this is the best of both worlds: the beach, Fishing Boat Harbour and Fremantle Sailing Club in one direction, and vibrant bars, cafés, restaurants and wellness hubs in another.
Proudly built for the Sheedy family c.1899 – the namesake of this quiet street itself – the history of this Victorian Georgian cottage is irreplaceable. Overlooking a quaint garden of natives, succulents and olive, the front porch is the perfect spot to soak up the natural light and watch the world go by.
Inside, a direct sightline flows to the rear, with floors of pine and jarrah against crisp white walls and darling ceiling roses. Positioned at the front of the home are two bedrooms: one with a decorative fireplace and the master with built-in robes, both embracing their northern outlook. A third bedroom nearby features a robe and built-in storage.
The dining, with its own brick fireplace, flows into the lounge and buttercream kitchen with a breakfast bar, glass cooktop, electric oven, double butler’s sink and filtered water. There’s a ceiling fan and split-system air above the living, alongside a bright, grey-and-white bathroom: deep-soak bathtub, pedestal basin and walk-in shower. A separate toilet and second pedestal basin double as a guest powder room.
Outside, glass double doors reveal the sheltered alfresco, while the laundry is housed in a separate studio/workshop, complete with the old outhouse toilet. An outdoor shower is perfect to rinse off after an ocean dip, but best of all is what lies at the rear: shady, peppermints lining the backyard with space to add a plunge pool or convert the existing studio into a granny flat (STCA).
On the oceanside of South Terrace, nestled along a quiet little streetscape filled with history and character, this is a magical place to live.
