1910 character: private, secure, central

A walled front garden creates a private setting for a home built over a hundred years ago in the Federation bungalow style, and now offering secure low-maintenance living in a prized community location. High ceilings, chandeliers and large rooms give a sense of space and character, with the flexibility of two living areas and spacious kitchen/dining leading to an elevated back veranda and high-walled courtyard at the rear. George Street restaurants and shopping are a block away, you can stroll down for riverside walks, and excellent local schools are nearby.<br/><br/>The north-facing front veranda overlooks the reticulated lawn and garden, with secure space for the kids to play. The central hallway opens to three large bedrooms, two with the delightful northern aspect, and all with original double-hung sash windows. Lift up the lino to discover the jarrah floors underneath. A door at the end of the hall separates the sleeping zones from the very spacious living room, and beyond is the open-plan kitchen/dining with island bench and extensive cabinetry. <br/><br/>Sliding doors access the back veranda and outdoor dining, and a second living area secluded at the rear is a flexible space for tv room, activity room or large office, with its own outdoor access. Also at the rear of the home is a fourth bedroom and the family bathroom, with retro colour scheme and laundry incorporated. The wide driveway offers parking for two cars behind automatic gates, and there's more space in the powered single garage.<br/><br/>It's all very secure and central, with Fremantle centre five minutes down the road. Take the dog to Horrie Long Reserve one block away, walk to East Fremantle Primary and John Curtin, head down to the Fremantle Arts Centre, stroll over to Young George for a drink, or to Duke of George for some live music. This character home also offers the chance for you to be creative and add your own touches, and this fantastic location is just the place to do it.<br/><br/>• 1910 home, rendered brick and iron, great location<br/>• Private walled front garden, north-facing veranda<br/>• High ceilings, chandeliers, very spacious rooms<br/>• Second living area with own exterior access<br/>• Reticulated, low-maintenance, air-conditioned<br/>• Security screens to doors and windows, automatic gates<br/>• Powered garage plus driveway parking<br/>• Close to John Curtin, East Freo Primary, George St, river<br/><br/><br/>Council rates: $1,576.15 per annum (approx)<br/>Water rates: $1,245.90 per annum (approx)
