279 High Street

Fremantle WA 6160

Set right back above the street behind a wide verge, white picket fence and native trees, this fifties home is full of character - a classic brick and tile with jarrah floors and an elevated curved verandah to catch the breezes. With two living areas, it has a flexible layout to suit your family in a great Freo location near the monument. This is the quiet part of High Street, in the John Curtin and East Fremantle Primary catchment and just a short walk (or even faster busride) down the hill to town. The north-facing verandah welcomes you to the home, where both the front living area and the master suite open out to this sunny spot up on high. Original jarrah floors are a real feature, and there's a working fireplace for the cold nights. The kitchen flows through to open-plan dining, and features stainless steel appliances including a Neff gas cooktop and electric oven and integrated Bosch dishwasher. The green-and-white bathroom is spacious, with checked floors and subway tiles to add to the character. The master-suite is quite secluded from the two other bedrooms, with northern light, timber shutters and council-approved plans for an en-suite addition. As well as the north-facing living area opening to the front verandah, another air-conditioned living room at the rear of the home offers plenty of flexibility, and there is a separate toilet off the laundry. A wide recycled brick path leads to the covered alfresco and barbecue area out the back for outdoor entertaining, and the home's classic pillowstone foundations offer plenty of undercroft storage. A double carport is a real bonus in Fremantle, so parking is easy here. If you're after a home with a good feeling, welcoming atmosphere and some of that sought-after Freo character in a really convenient location close to town, check out this 50s charmer up above the street. - Character fifties brick and tile - Elevated location set back from the street - Treed block, wide verge, white picket fence - Quiet part of High Street near Monument - Walk to town - Jarrah floors, welcoming feeling - Open-plan kitchen/dining, ss appliances - Two living areas - North-facing - Charming curved front verandah - Classic pillowstone foundations - John Curtin/East Fremantle Primary catchment - Double carport - Easy public transport
