"GIRTON HOUSE" - C.1890

$3,000,000
  • 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 519 Square metres | 3 Car spaces

This fully-renovated circa-1890 heritage-listed home in the heart of Fremantle blends timeless charm with modern living. Located on a convenient slip road, directly opposite John Curtin College of the Arts, this Victorian-era residence, once owned by Lord Girton, is a unique piece of Fremantle's history.

Beyond its gated garden entrance and north-facing front verandah deck, this character-rich home offers a spacious interior on a generous block with rear-laneway access to a rare triple lock-up garage. Inside, you'll find 12-foot-high ceilings, solid Jarrah floorboards, and classic features like ceiling roses, decorative cornices, and elegant chandeliers.

Each room, including the kitchen and bathrooms, has its own gas fireplace, maintaining the home's historical ambiance while incorporating modern updates.

The ground floor includes a front bedroom that can serve as a home office, complete with shelving, marble accents, and a bay window. The lounge opens to a tranquil courtyard with a large fold-out umbrella. The kitchen, updated with stone benchtops, glass splashbacks, and high-end Gaggenau appliances, is adjacent to the open-plan family and dining area. This space features tiled flooring, a sunroom-style feel, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration with the side courtyard.

The lower level also includes a hidden powder room and under-stair storage.

Upstairs, the main family bathroom features a free-standing bathtub. The semi-ensuite master bathroom, equally impressive, includes a double rain/hose shower, stone vanity, and access to the master bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom also offers sea glimpses and ample storage, while the front verandah/balcony deck provides sweeping views of the Fremantle harbour and tree-lined streets.

The expansive backyard, with lush lawn and shade from mature trees, offers plenty of space for a future swimming pool. The three-car garage, with remote-controlled roller doors and additional parking options, includes access to a versatile laundry/workshop area with cathedral-style high ceilings.

Located within the East Fremantle Primary School catchment zone and close to top schools, this home is also within walking distance of the Fremantle Arts Centre, George Street precinct, local parks, restaurants, shopping, and Fremantle's iconic attractions.

This Fremantle treasure perfectly fuses historical charm with contemporary convenience.
