296 South Tce, South Fremantle WA 6162

A large front master bedroom showcases these features and also has a feature working fireplace. The equally spacious second bedroom also comes off the beautiful entry hallway.

A larger third bedroom has concrete floors, and sufficient space to add an ensuite in the future, while still retaining a queen sized third room.

The expansive central lounge room includes a second working fireplace, and the option of a gas bayonet for winter heating. The decorative archway separates the old 1890's cottage from the 1970's addition, and the mottled blue surrounding the arch is remnant evidence of the house's history, uncovered during the renovation process.

A cleverly-renovated kitchen/dining area has lovely views to the yard. The kitchen boasts significant storage, timber bench tops and breakfast bar, double ceramic sinks, and stainless steel appliances (an integrated range hood, a freestanding 900mm six-burner Smeg oven, and a Bosch dishwasher). This and the adjoining dining area include easy care concrete flooring which continues to the adjacent study. The bathroom features a rain shower, vanity and under-bench storage. Immediately outside is the delightfully simple yet functional laundry, and a separate toilet.

Behind the 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home, and accessible by your private driveway, is a vast open space (over 220m2) where you can let your imagination run wild. This property is zoned mixed use and R30, so the opportunities are ripe for the picking to live, work, extend or develop. Plans for a two-storey “granny flat” at the rear of the property have been approved. Alternatively, there is more than enough room for a significant extension, a swimming pool and workshop, or, should you wish to run a business from the property, additional parking for your staff and clients. Driveway access to the yard through high double-gates enables any of your future plans.

In the meantime, entertaining is made easy with an intimate paved courtyard area including back verandah/patio and gazebo, offset with established trees and leafy gardens, and a backdrop of a mature urban forest beyond. The secure and private back yard includes a large lawn and play zone, which will be well loved by kids and pets, an outdoor shower (ideal following a long hot day at the beach), two separate garden sheds and raised, productive, vegetable gardens.

Experience private living right in the heart of vibrant South Freo. With a plethora of bars, cafés, restaurants and public transport right outside your door, you will love the convenience of this central location. The glorious South Beach, South Fremantle Dog Beach, Fremantle Sailing Club and a range of artisan shops and bakeries are a short stroll away. There is a range of health and fitness options too, which you may well need with all the culinary temptations in front of you. You're in very close proximity to schools, shopping and central Fremantle and you really will not beat the community vibe of South Freo. This is a location you will truly learn to love quite quickly!
