Address available on request, Fremantle, WA 6160

With its gorgeous early-1900s bones, extra land alongside, and R30 mixed-use zoning (with potential for R60 density) that allows you to live, work, develop, or do all three, this property is one of those golden opportunities we rarely see in the port city. Restore the original as a refined family home, extend outward or upward, create a sprawling garden, or divide the site into two or even three lots (STCA). The options are as endless as they are exciting.

Originally a worker's cottage, it later became both a dwelling and consulting rooms for a local doctor, and more recently has served as a five-room medical suite with an additional kitchenette and powder room. This long tradition of clinical space and commercial use may well continue under the existing permits, and the prominent street presence and position would suit a professional practice seeking an address of distinctive character in this vibrant hub.

Inside, the craftsmanship of another era is evident at every turn: thick limestone walls, quoined brick windows, warm jarrah floorboards, lofty ceilings, an over-width hallway and original fireplaces. This is a superb example of the classic five-room Fremantle cottage, its interiors gracious in proportion and harmoniously balanced, with a quiet sense of style and grace that newer builds seldom achieve.

Set slightly elevated, the house catches the cooling sea breeze, while the rear is sheltered from prevailing winds and the harsh western sun. Natural light drifts in from early morning until the golden hour.

Creating something stunning here can be as simple or as in-depth as you prefer. A considered renovation within the existing footprint would create an elegant single-level three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with its own private backyard. For those wishing for more space, the north-eastern orientation invites an open-plan living wing that flows to the outdoors, or a second storey above with expansive views.

Adding to an already impressive list, the holding also includes two further potential parcels of land. They could remain a peaceful green retreat or, under the current zoning, be developed for residential, commercial or mixed-use projects.

Positioned at the heart of one of Perth's most loved neighbourhoods, this is your chance to live your best life in an energetic, eclectic part of town. Stroll to the cafés and restaurants of South Terrace, spend Saturday mornings at the Fremantle Markets, enjoy a sundowner at the Norfolk Hotel, browse the boutiques, bakeries and bars of the South Fremantle strip, linger until dusk at South Beach, then finish with a late dinner at one of the many new eateries opening around town.

Heritage, flexible development potential and a setting of this calibre make a rare combination. This Property is ready to welcome its next chapter.

All development options subject to Council approval.
