31 Allen St, East Fremantle WA 6158

The tuck-pointed, red-brick exterior sets the scene for gracious period interiors within; wide-arched hallway, soaring ceilings, picture rails, elegant ceiling roses, stained glass highlights, leadlight doors and jarrah floors. The original part of the home encompasses two bedrooms with built-in storage - one a generous master retreat with ensuite, the other hosting a decorative fireplace. A formal sitting room has the practicality of a gas fireplace before stunning leadlight doors lead to a private, north-facing outdoor terrace and idyllic zone to appreciate the whisper-quiet surrounds.

Anchoring the heart of the home is the light-filled kitchen featuring marble-topped bench space, brass handles, timber cabinetry, hand painted tiled splashback, walk-in pantry, filtered water tap, gas stove top, electric oven and dishwasher. An a/c unit keeps this zone cool, alongside more ceiling fans, while the lofty pitched timber roof above the lounge enhances that grand sense of space - even more so as a spectacular limestone-surround fireplace takes centre stage.

Peeling off the arched-hallway, stairs rise to an air-conditioned, upper loft-level with roof storage, a bedroom and home office embracing views of the vast stretch of greenery below. The extension unfolds further to two more bedrooms on the southern side, each with built-in robes and ceiling fans (one also with an a/c unit), a bathroom, separate WC with dual access and large laundry that leads to a utilities area and off-street tandem parking for two vehicles.

A series of double doors lead to the sparkling pool and undercover, outdoor alfresco where the blank-canvas lawn highlights how large this block truly is. With abundant green space for kids and pets to play upon, imagine backyard cricket, adding a trampoline or cubby, building a tennis court, or hosting family get togethers - better yet with the prospect of building a self-contained studio (STCA) for guests to stay in. Finally, tucked into the corner is a large storage shed with landscaped garden beds including fruit trees nearby (passionfruit, kefir lime and fig) and a paved courtyard.

Situated along a character-laden streetscape so reminiscent of East Fremantle's timeless allure, this historical treasure captures that feeling and so much more - all with the bonus of expansive family living and a rare, full-sized block filled with potential to make it your own.
