31 Allen Street, East Fremantle, WA 6158

Nestled within the tree-lined serenity of East Fremantle's Woodside precinct, you'll find a beautifully preserved period residence. It's all the grandeur you'd expect from a fine Federation Bungalow rich in history, presence and atmosphere, but best of all is the rarity of its sprawling 1,189m2 block that inspires even more.

Offered to market for the first time in almost 40 years, this generational heirloom bridges the past with the present and all the possibility for whatever you wish to make it your own. Extended in the 90s, there's plenty of room to accommodate a growing family including the potential to renovate further or add a self-contained studio at the rear (STCA) for multi-generational living and this location couldn't be better positioned for vibrant George Street, Silas Street's array of services (including the new 24/7 The Good Grocer), leafy parklands, public transport, Freo or the river.

The tuck-pointed, red-brick exterior sets the scene for gracious period interiors within; wide-arched hallway, soaring ceilings, picture rails, elegant ceiling roses, stained glass highlights, leadlight doors and jarrah floors. The original part of the home encompasses two bedrooms with built-in storage - one a generous master retreat with ensuite, the other hosting a decorative fireplace. A formal sitting room has the practicality of a gas fireplace before stunning leadlight doors lead to a private, north-facing outdoor terrace and idyllic zone to appreciate the whisper-quiet surrounds.

Anchoring the heart of the home is the light-filled kitchen featuring marble-topped bench space, brass handles, timber cabinetry, hand painted tiled splashback, walk-in pantry, filtered water tap, gas stove top, electric oven and dishwasher. An a/c unit keeps this zone cool, alongside more ceiling fans, while the lofty pitched timber roof above the lounge enhances that grand sense of space - even more so as a spectacular limestone-surround fireplace takes centre stage.

Peeling off the arched-hallway, stairs rise to an air-conditioned, upper loft-level with roof storage, a bedroom and home office embracing views of the vast stretch of greenery below. The extension unfolds further to two more bedrooms on the southern side, each with built-in robes and ceiling fans (one also with an a/c unit), a bathroom, separate WC with dual access and large laundry that leads to a utilities area and off-street tandem parking for two vehicles.

A series of double doors lead to the sparkling pool and undercover, outdoor alfresco where the blank-canvas lawn highlights how large this block truly is. With abundant green space for kids and pets to play upon, imagine backyard cricket, adding a trampoline or cubby, building a tennis court, or hosting family get togethers - better yet with the prospect of building a self-contained studio (STCA) for guests to stay in. Finally, tucked into the corner is a large storage shed with landscaped garden beds including fruit trees nearby (passionfruit, kefir lime and fig) and a paved courtyard.

Situated along a character-laden streetscape so reminiscent of East Fremantle's timeless allure, this historical treasure captures that feeling and so much more - all with the bonus of expansive family living and a rare, full-sized block filled with potential to make it your own.
