21 Holdsworth Street, Fremantle WA 6160

On one of Fremantle's most picturesque streets is a rare and intact row of six terrace houses constructed in 1903. Characteristic of the Victorian Filigree style, this group of single storey brick and iron homes has cultural heritage significance as an example of the development of the residential areas of Fremantle during the state's gold boom and the construction of the Inner Harbour in the late 1890's. From this fabulous location, walk down the hill to the markets, cappuccino strip and the train station, then come home to quiet and comfort within the thick stone walls of this historic home.

The street is dotted with historic homes at a slight elevation which captures the sea breeze. The north facing home retains its original charm with stone walls, prominent chimney, and corrugated iron bullnosed verandah. From the front porch, the view stretches across church cathedrals and striking architecture to the working port.

Step through a gorgeous front door with azure blue stained-glass detail into a traditional hallway decorated with a high arch moulding. A generous front room, which could be used as a lounge or bedroom as desired, features double-hung sash windows overlooking the verandah, high ceilings and an intricate ceiling rose. Further down the hall the large main bedroom also features a ceiling rose and rich jarrah flooring.

The hallway opens out to a lovely sitting room where an ornamental fireplace framed by a tall jarrah mantle creates a romantic atmosphere. The kitchen features overhead storage, gas cooktop, and rangehood. And if you don't feel like cooking, stroll down the hill into Fremantle to have your pick of fantastic cafes and restaurants. The shaded rear courtyard is enclosed behind high walls and houses the original outbuildings. These include: a bathroom with updated vanity, laundry with original concrete trough, separate w/c, and a storeroom.

This terrace home is an important and now rare example of Victorian terrace housing updated for modern living, whilst retaining the original Victorian architectural character. A classic early Fremantle stone home with the potential to lock and leave that offers a peaceful and private abode with all the advantages of urban living in a wonderfully walkable location. Its less than 10 minutes stroll to Monument Hill park, Fremantle IGA in the new FOMO entertainment precinct, and the cappuccino strip. With a variety of galleries, cinemas, boutique shops, and entertainment venues all within easy reach.
