The simplicity and charm of this Victorian Georgian coastal cottage paired with the South Fremantle location will have you transfixed from the get-go. The 539 square metre block is a rare find in South Fremantle which brings luxury, spaciousness, and options for the new custodians. The previous owner of almost 40 years found her place in the close-knit community of Parmelia Street and the South Fremantle lifestyle with a daily swim at South Beach.An impressively wide block gives excellent street frontage, appeal, sense of space, and vehicle access via the bricked driveway leading to the carport. There are several established native trees at the front and rear of the home. As you step into the entry hall, the exterior of fresh white weatherboard with coastal blue highlights gives way to endless matt finish Jarrah floorboards and warm white walls.
