About this Property
All Offers By 19 December at 5pm, seller reserves the right to sell sooner.
Starting out as a modest cottage on a dairy farm, this converted federation-style home is known to be one of the first residence established in the Bicton area. Tuckpointed exteriors, jarrah floors and a grand winding veranda overlooking picket-fencing & cottage gardens evoke charming references to a bygone era.
Framed by dense rosemary hedging, pretty English roses and a stunning old olive tree, the inviting entry into this property conjures immediate feelings of coming home to warmth and comfort.
Cooling sea breezes filter through the elevated veranda which is awash in northern light and sheltered by privacy screens which can be adjusted throughout the day or rolled up for that beautiful breeze on hot summer days.
Inside, a wide hallway entrance extends through the length of the home and connects to generous rooms for rest and relaxation.
Two spacious bedrooms (one fitted with split-system air-conditioning & a timber fireplace) sit at the front of the home, while a cozy wall arched sitting room is an open invitation to read a book by the (gas) fire in winter, or under air-conditioned comfort in the summer.
The third bedroom, featuring an ornate original ceiling rose and fireplace recess, has potential for a private study or hobby room.
Tucked at the rear of the home is a sunny dining area and galley-style kitchen framed in an “industrial chic” wall feature of exposed brick and lavender concrete render.
Abundant cabinetry and bench space, along with a quality Omega induction stove & canopy rangehood, Smeg wall grill & oven and Fisher & Paykal dishwasher are compactly arranged for practical entertaining.
A shared bathroom, with heated ceiling lamps and towel rails, features soothing mint-green floor tiles and a shower/tub combo, while, as expected, a second toilet (or original “out-house”) is located outside, alongside a spacious “wash house”.
Conveniently located off the garden, the laundry offers plenty of space to set up an ironing station, or store party supplies and beverages on ice, or in the fridge, away from the main house.
Ample storage is provided via a large workshop which connects to the carport.
Pre-existing fencing and paving is also in place for a garden spa or plunge pool – blissfully protected from the elements by lush greenery and a discreet location to the side of the home.
Located central to it all, this cherished, iconic residence is just a short walk to the river, the stunning green open spaces and rocky cliffs of Blackwall Reach Reserve and Bicton Primary School – while Melville Plaza Shopping Centre is just down the road and Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour, Port Beach and plenty of vibrant cafes, bars, restaurants and convenience options, are just a short walk or drive away.
