40 Solomon Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Set on one of Fremantle's favourite streets, this elevated two-bedroom, one-bathroom home is a rare find. Originally built circa 1913 as a worker's cottage, high ceilings and timber floorboards are only the beginning of the charm.

It's not until you step inside and feel the warmth this home exudes, from the handcrafted kitchen with Marri countertops and an original wood-burning Metters stove to the large rooms bathed in natural sunlight.

Alfresco dining beneath the pergola offers views over the productive garden blooming with herbs, vegetables and over 20 fruit trees such as plum, avocado, lime, figs and grape vines. A chicken coop and a water tank inspire self-sufficiency, and a shed at the rear of the property beckons a studio conversion.

From the generous front porch, your imagination will shift into overdrive with the realisation that you could add another storey and further capitalise on this prime Solomon Street location with epic views over Fremantle and the Indian Ocean.

With historic Fremantle at your feet, you could spend a lifetime delving into many cuisines, shops, tourist attractions, galleries, and fresh produce outlets, including Fremantle Markets and Galati & Sons. No wonder homes in this precinct rarely go on the market, especially with so many nearby amenities ranging from Fremantle Primary School, Fremantle Grammar School, John Curtin College of the Arts, Notre Dame University, Fremantle Train Station and Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour.

Families, professionals and renovators won't be able to resist. Since this is move-in ready, this is an incredible investment as you could rent it out while planning your renovation.
