SOLD BY NICK FRENCH, C&CO REAL ESTATE!
Step back in time with this enchanting 1898 timber cottage that emanates all the classic charm of Fremantle. Beautifully positioned in an elevated spot, just a few strides from Monument Hill and its panoramic views, 16 Knutsford Street offers a rare glimpse into the past, whilst being well preserved and comfortable for modern living. This intact heritage gem features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, each with its own unique charm.
The cottage has a classic layout, and the front lounge has French doors opening out to a welcoming front verandah. The home boasts high ceilings in the main rooms, character timber panelling, timber windows and doors, plus rarely found baltic pine floorboards. The main bedroom has a convenient ensuite giving it a retreat-like feel, while the second bedroom has close access to the rear bathroom, complete with a bath and built-in laundry facilities. While a delightful reading nook alongside a tall sash window encapsulates the magical spirit of this home, its heart is the bright and airy kitchen and dining area, recently refreshed with new benchtops and cabinet fronts. From here you look out to the substantial rear garden, where a majestic Jacaranda tree provides shade and beauty, and is accompanied by a pergola, lawn, a native garden, two paved patios, and the original outdoor toilet. There are also two large sheds, which offer ample storage or workshop space.
Elevated to capture far-reaching northern views, the cottage is well positioned on the block to accommodate further expansion and take in all the northern light. The property also benefits from access down both sides, providing ample room for a trailer or camper.
Framed by a white rendered wall with wrought iron details and a sweet metal gate, this home feels like a piece of Fremantle’s history. Next to Monument Hill and close to the vibrant George Street precinct, with the centre of Fremantle just moments away, here is a lifestyle filled with culture, convenience, and timeless charm.
Discover the perfect blend of history, character, and modern convenience at 16 Knutsford Street, a true Fremantle treasure.
