15 Samson St, Fremantle is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1936. The property has a land size of 335m2 and floor size of 112m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in December 2022.
Down the western end of Samson Street is a quiet, leafy city-side spot, home to an early 20th century weatherboard and iron home with indoor-outdoor flow for all seasons. It's a serene setting sheltered behind native trees on the verge and lovely front gardens, where a recycled brick path curves to the north-facing front deck. Solar-powered, with jarrah floors, modern kitchen and bathrooms, and a charming rear courtyard, it feels warm and welcoming, and layers of history add personality and character. Wray Avenue is around the corner, so you can stroll out to have a coffee and pick up some provisions in this wonderfully walkable neighbourhood.
Off the traditional central hallway is the living room, with cast iron fireplace in a jarrah surround and French doors opening to the northern deck. It's an ideal orientation for a sun-filled room in winter, and to step out and enjoy the garden. The master bedroom shares that northern aspect, and includes an ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe, as well as a built-in desk with a window to the lemon tree in the side garden. There are two more bedrooms, including one with a fresh white ensuite with dual access.
The home opens up to a large kitchen/dining area: engineered stone tops, island bench, stainless steel appliances, and an old meat-safe style pantry built in to the original kitchen fireplace for a typically eclectic touch. A wall of glass offers a pretty outlook to the courtyard, with louvres for the breezes and sliding doors to open up to the deck for outdoor dining. This is a relaxing spot for summer, with vines cascading over the limestone wall, and shade from the Chinese elm. A vine-covered timber wall conceals a cast iron bath and outdoor shower, and the original outdoor loo is in working order.
Around the western side is a paved utility area, as well as raised veggie beds to catch the sun. A double garage is accessed down a shared driveway, and with the extensive solar panels in place, it's tempting to choose an electric car and charge it for free.
This is a great Freo location where you can walk downtown and hop on the bike to the beach, and here behind all those shady trees out front is a home that really suits the spirit of the place.
