SOLD - MULTIPLE OFFERS - LOUISE POPE, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!Directly across from Booyeembara Park's sprawling natural parkland, this character gem is a true Valley treasure. It has a classic cottage presence that feels like home, from the weatherboard exterior wrapped in navy blue to the white picket fence framing the country-style front garden - and what a superb location. On the edge of Freo's border, you can stroll into its bustling centre, George Street's vibrant precinct, the Freo Farmer's Markets, or drive to the river and beach in minutes.Inside is filled with warmth and character: gorgeous old jarrah floors, sweeping high ceilings adorned with detail, and intricate ceiling roses that nod to the home's era. A huge master bedroom sits on the left with a ceiling fan, wall of built-in robes, and lovely garden outlook, while opposite is another spacious bedroom (currently used as a formal lounge) with built-in storage anchored by a gas fireplace.The sense of space is wonderful as the open-plan layout unfolds to even more: airy interiors, a cosy wood fireplace, indoor-outdoor flow to the huge backyard, two more big bedrooms (one with a ceiling fan and built-in robes) and a timber kitchen made for culinary ease. With a built-in hutch, stainless-steel appliances, free-standing island, and the original Metters wood-fired stove retained - this is a space that enhances that homely feel. Nearby, the bright white bathroom and sleek laundry have been stylishly renewed, featuring a corner shower, bathtub, smart vanity, and separate toilet, with exterior access to the veranda.Outside, the big backyard is delightful with plenty of room for kids or pets to roam free. There's a long undercover alfresco on the south-facing veranda, and a majestic old peppermint that stretches above the open-air decking where you can sit and enjoy the birdsong and sunshine. A shed zone is great for storage or tinkering away on home handyman projects, and down the side is a drying courtyard for the laundry. Finally, out the front there's room to park one car on the paved brick driveway.With an ambience of leafy serenity thanks to Booyeembara Park across the road, and all the joys of a charming cottage lovingly retained throughout the years, this is a wonderful opportunity to make your Valley dreams come true. - Character cottage beautifully renewed- Superb position opposite Booyeembara Park's sprawling natural parkland- Historical charm: jarrah floors, sweeping high ceilings, intricate cornices & ceiling roses- Ducted & zoned reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout- Large master bedroom with BIRs & ceiling fan- Second spacious bedroom (currently used as a formal lounge) with built-in storage around gas fireplace- Two more bedrooms off living (one with BIRs & ceiling fan)- Open-plan layout, indoor-outdoor flow to back garden- Cosy wood fireplace in lounge- Kitchen with stainless steel appliances (Bosch oven, gas stovetop, Haier dishwasher), original Metters wood-fired stove- Stylishly renewed bright white bathroom & laundry with shower, bath, vanity, separate toilet, exterior access- Undercover alfresco on south-facing veranda- Open-air decking, secure big backyard- Shed zone with workbench- Drying courtyard down the side- Walk to parks, cafes, shops, public transport, George Street, Freo Farmer's Markets- Close to the river, beach, Freo's town centreFor more information please call Exclusive Selling Agent Louise Pope from White House Property Partners on 0410 803 722Council Rates: $1,941.67 per annum (approx.)Water Rates: $1,098.83 per annum (approx.)
