9 Pearse Street

North Fremantle WA 6159

The stone, brick and iron home was built in 1895 and is a great example of a Fremantle worker's cottage, being referenced by the Fremantle Society's list of heritage places for 'contributing to the unique character of Fremantle'.
All the romance and appeal of an Australian worker's cottage has been maintained from the white picket fence, bull-nosed verandah, timber floorboards and soaring ceilings to the original fireplaces and ceiling roses.
Four large bedrooms in the original front part of the home all feature fireplaces and two bedrooms, including the master bedroom, have built-in shelving and cupboards either side of the fireplace. A large, fully lined roof attic is accessible from one of the bedrooms.
An ornate and curved arch in the hallway draws you through to the back of the home, where a timber and glass-paned door opens into a very inviting and relaxed kitchen, dining and living room.
This light bathed open space features views of the courtyard, a vaulted timber-panelled ceiling, built-in TV cabinetry, ceiling fans and clever built-in bench seats along one wall which double as seating for the dining table. A prominent, wooden trapdoor leads to an underground cellar and storage area.
The kitchen has a convenient central island bench, well designed cabinetry, dishwasher, electric oven and new gas cooktop.
Closed off from the kitchen is the laundry, three-door linen cupboard, main bathroom with corner bath and toilet, and a second separate toilet. A door from the laundry leads conveniently outside for easy access to drying.
A highlight of this property is the brick-paved entertaining courtyard with play zone at the back. Limestone-retained garden beds, olive trees, white bougainvillea and a romantic built in bench seat surrounded by vines provide an attractive and leafy space to relax in.
A very cute limestone, timber and iron shed offers clever storage ideas for bikes, prams, towels, gardening equipment and large items you don't want cluttering the house.
Along the back wall is also an original artwork by well known artist Amok Island.
