Auction Location: 46 Lilly Street, South Fremantle

Steeped in historical significance, a worker's cottage built c1902 sits quietly nestled along a character-laden streetscape, so typical of South Freo.'s quintessential charm. Gentle sea breezes from the west-facing veranda remind you of how close you are to the coast with South Beach and a plethora of shops, dining and entertainment options along South Terrace a short walk or bike ride away. It's a fabulous location to live in and an exciting prospect to consider what can unfold here with such solid bones to work with whether you choose to renovate, extend or restore to its former glory (STCA).

A pair of double-hung sash windows frame the front door as you step inside to all the hallmarks of this home's era; wide jarrah floorboards, sweeping high ceilings and a decorative fireplace within the formal sitting room. A large bedroom is on the left before the kitchen unfolds to a generous space with room for a dining setting as it overlooks the rear, enclosed patio and back garden beyond. Federation-style tiles grace the floors with a wonderful sense of nostalgia evoked by the original wood-fired oven in the corner - it's easy to imagine how this blank canvas can be transformed with a contemporary renovation whilst staying sympathetic to the home's history. A good-sized second bedroom is also nearby.

Continue through to the laundry (with a separate WC) and the bathroom featuring a shower and small vanity, while the enclosed patio allows for airflow to cool down this space through the timber framework. The rear garden features recycled red-brick pathways curving around tall, leafy trees (including mature lemon, banana and almond), garden beds, an old laundry trough converted into a planter box, traditional outhouse toilet and a 'glasshouse' studio ideal as a creative's workshop or whatever you want it to be. There's also secure, side gate entry along the northern boundary. With the right vision, this backyard can reflect any contemporary updates of the main home and become a flourishing garden oasis and idyllic outdoor zone to enjoy.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of South Freo's history with endless potential to reimagine it into something quite extraordinary ? don't miss your chance to make it your own in this much loved suburb by the sea.
