Overview

Private Laneway Cottage

Walk to the river and come home to this cosy, charming and comfortable cottage, tucked away in one of North Fremantle's prettiest and most peaceful pockets.

If you appreciate the aesthetic and charm of heritage homes but prefer to avoid the maintenance associated with older constructions, this delightful coastal residence offers an ideal solution.

Although it appears as if it could have been built a century ago, this solid brick cottage was actually constructed in 1992 using numerous recycled materials and character elements, resulting in a timeless rustic appearance and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Featuring two bedrooms and an open-plan living area, this adaptable home is suitable for singles, professional couples, retirees, empty nesters, investors, and small families alike. Its quiet yet convenient location is a significant advantage. Nestled in a tranquil, private laneway in North Fremantle, it provides a sense of safety and security in a hidden gem of a spot.

Just minutes from the beach and moments from the Swan River, the location offers an enviable lifestyle with all amenities close at hand. Begin your mornings with a walk along the riverfront trails or take your dog to the nearby Gilbert Fraser Reserve or Harvey Beach, both within easy walking distance.

The vibrant Queen Victoria Street precinct is also just minutes away, featuring popular venues such as The Bridge House, Bruce Town, Ooh Coffee, Wild Bakery, Mrs Brown Bar, and Flipside Burgers. Enjoy live entertainment at the Swan Hotel or Port Beach Brewery, or use public transport options like bus or train to reach Fremantle.

Weekends can be spent at Port or Leighton beaches, meeting friends for brunch or lunch at iconic local eateries including COAST, Bib & Tucker, Palette, the Orange Box, or Pearla and Co. Families will appreciate the proximity to North Fremantle Primary School, childcare facilities, parks, playgrounds, and community hubs such as the North Fremantle Social Farm and North Freo Bowlo.

Set behind a tall plane tree, the house boasts an attractive façade with painted timber windows. The courtyard garden is charming, offering an intimate yet open space perfect for entertaining under the stars or enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by greenery.

Inside, the home is bright and designed to foster connection. The welcoming open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the residence. Stunning timber floors complement the beautiful high ceilings made of painted timber and timber shutters. The kitchen is both pretty and traditional, featuring ample storage with off-white cabinetry paired with timber benchtops and a gas cooktop.

A vintage door with coloured glass leads to a quaint, classic bathroom adorned with a pressed tin ceiling and subway tile walls.

The two bedrooms are well separated, with one located on the ground floor and the other upstairs. The upper bedroom is spacious and filled with natural light, featuring soaring painted shiplap ceilings. Timber windows enhance the cosy cottage ambiance, offering views through the plane tree branches to the quiet street. Opening the windows allows refreshing coastal breezes to cool the home during summer. The property also includes split system air-conditioning.

The ground floor bedroom is also large and bright, with French doors opening to the courtyard and a painted timber ceiling that complements the beautiful floorboards. Off-street parking is available for two cars beneath the plane tree.

This warm, cosy, textured, and unique coastal home truly captures the spirit of North Fremantle. It is ready to become your new home where you can fall in love with the lifestyle it offers.
