With period features fused with a light-filled contemporary extension, this renovated and extended circa 1903 weatherboard cottage offers an idyllic low-maintenance lifestyle in a warm and welcoming street lined with historic architecture. A classic front porch with bullnose verandah is framed by a picket fence. The central hallway, high ceilings and original timber floors are nostalgic reminders of the home's history, which dates back to the turn of the century but has now been transformed into a fabulous family home with multiple living and entertaining spaces. The master bedroom is located at the front with striking jarrah flooring, original sash windows, a decorative fireplace, walk in robes and an ensuite bathroom. The two minor bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the main bathroom perfectly positioned. A cosy sitting room off the hallway, includes a gas log fire and opens to the rear deck and gardens through French doors, making an ideal separate living room for either parents or kids. An impressive rear extension optimises the gloriously sunny, north-facing aspect while expanding the living spaces. The hub of the home is this open plan kitchen, living and dining zone which flows seamlessly into the alfresco area. The spacious kitchen offers an abundance of storage and preparation space with the island bench providing a casual dining option. The kitchen includes stone benchtops with waterfall edge island, glass splashbacks, double fridge recess and stainless steel appliances. A study nook is also positioned adjacent to the kitchen for convenience. The alfresco deck, which is covered for entertaining in all seasons and is generously proportioned with room for a long outdoor dining table as well as a lounge area. The tranquil backyard, accessed form the driveway, includes established raised vege gardens, a grassed area for children to play and a place to park your vehicle. The laundry includes a separate toilet and gives ample storage options with a wall of built in cupboards. Hidden above, is an attic with ladder access providing excellent additional storage. Frank Gibson Park, just up the street, is a firm favourite among locals who gather there with coffees in the morning or a wine in the evening while their dogs run free. This is a deceptively spacious family cottage where everything has been done so all you have to do is soak up everything this welcoming neighbourhood has to offer. > Renovated and extended weatherboard cottage > Original jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, fireplace, wide skirting boards and cornices > Open plan living with seamless flow to covered alfresco > Generous kitchen with island bench and study nook > Master bedroom with walk in robe and ensuite > Second living room with modern log fire > Attic for extra storage > Split system reverse cycle air-conditioning > Ceiling fans in bedrooms > 352 sqm Survey-Strata title block > Stroll to local cafes, parks, schools, restaurants and boutique shops > Less than five minutes from the heart of Fremantle > In catchment of East Fremantle Primary School and John Curtin College of the Arts
