19 Scott St, South Fremantle WA 6162

The master bedroom enjoys the northern garden outlook, and the adjacent en-suite, lit by a big skylight, features lovely blue-painted timber cabinetry. There is dual access from the en-suite through to a flexible long room for studio, office, or a second living area for teenagers or guests. That space flows to a second bedroom, and a third bedroom looks out to the back garden. There, wisteria is creeping up the pergola over the outdoor dining area, and beyond is more lush greenery with productive plantings (pomegranate, lemon, grapefruit, lime and olives). There's a big renovated laundry, a chook run and room for a pool.

Given it has changed hands only once since 1924, there will be much curiosity and interest in seeing this very special home and rambling gardens, as well as dreams of the panoramic views that would unfold from a second-storey (STCA).
