Taras on Lilly Street
Two bedroom and two bathroom cottage in South Fremantle
|
This lovely renovated cottage is typical of the inventive redesign of older style buildings that is making Fremantle such a sought after destination for tourists and business travellers.Taras was originally a tiny brick and iron workers cottage that has been extended to offer two spacious bedrooms and lovely light living spaces looking into a limestone paved, quaint courtyard. 
There is a bedroom downstairs with bathroom including a full bath and toilet. The entry/atrium is wide and filled with light; it leads into a newly fitted kitchen/dining area which has every modern convenience, yet whose decor blends with the stripped pine and rustic feel of the rest of the cottage.
Several steps lead down to a sitting room which is gas heated and has mullion windows on the north and west. The north windows and french doors look to the private courtyard and pleasant treed surrounds. Outside the kitchen is a wide split level deck which is ideal for outdoor living
and can be protected from the wind by a roll-down clear blind.To the left of the vestibule, stairs lead to a second large air-conditioned bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a high vaulted ceiling. The bedroom has mullion windows on three sides and is airy and light filled with pleasant outlooks that include trees, sky and views of one of Fremantle's oldest suburbs as well as the Fremantle Sailing Club. 
Furnishings are pleasant and comfortable with a queen-size bed in the upper bedroom and two singles beds on the ground floor.Lilly Street itself is lovely to wander down as it has many houses that have been imaginatively renovated and extended. 
There is secure garaging for one car.It is an easy one kilometre walk to central Fremantle, or you can catch the free Central Area Transport (CAT) bus, arriving every ten minutes, just a block away. |
