There is so much to love about this classic Victorian terrace which is not just a home but a lifestyle in the heart of Fremantle.Tucked behind decorative iron gates in a neat row of four immaculately preserved terraces, this elegant 1897 residence is a striking architectural statement and a celebration of Freo's famous charm.Full of warmth, character and integrity, you feel instantly welcome when you step inside the beautiful hallway with its embellished ceilings and grand central staircase. A bit like Fremantle itself, this home feels like an old friend you haven't seen for years.Offering ample accommodation and endless flexibility the ground floor includes two generously proportioned rooms with 14ft ceilings that would make an ideal sitting room and third bedroom. Both feature original jarrah floorboards, expansive sash windows, ceiling roses and ornate fireplaces. The hallway, with its crisp white gallery walls eventually fans out to a cosy dining room with French doors that lead to a pretty limestone walled courtyard. A small modern bathroom and a fully renovated kitchen with classic white shaker-style cabinetry are also located on the ground floor.Upstairs is split-level with beautiful Oregan pine floors and a spacious sunny balcony with breathtaking views over Fremantle and majestic church spires. The two large bedrooms and study/4th bedroom are bathed in natural light and richly detailed with a couple of lovely floor-to-ceiling sash windows. The bathroom has a modern twin vanity and glass shower but thoughtfully retains an old-world feel.With its timeless Victorian elegance and contemporary touches the best of both worlds really is at hand here.
