As you meander through Hilton, you find an eclectic mixture of weatherboard, fibro and brick cottages surrounded by trees, natives and organic gardens. And here, on one of the best streets in the area, is the cutest and quirkiest cottage you'll find.

This original timber workers cottage still sits in its original floorplan. Like many of the eclectic homes in the area, the owner has embraced the original space and turned it into a funky, colourful and cosy home. If you're a muso or an artist, or just have the soul of one, you'll walk in and fall in love.

The lounge has a fabulous fireplace capable of heating the home, also provides a warm ambiance all year. The original pine floorboard bring a rich warmth to the home while keeping the inside light and fresh. To one side you have the master bedroom, with unique bifold doors and plenty of space and natural light. This overlooks the leafy front garden. The second bedroom is a good size, and overlooks the rear yard and the bathroom is in it's traditional spot, right in the centre with an original arrangement of a combined bath and shower and a quirky twist of corrugated metal.

You'll love the kitchen with its flamboyant fuchsia tones and original cabinetry taking us back to a bygone era. The homes heart has a stunning view overlooking the mature rear garden and the sky is framed with foliage. A great feature of this home is the cut out between the lounge and kitchen bringing the spaces together so you're still part of the party.
The toilet and laundry are outside the kitchen but still under the main roof and then you're down the rear steps and into this fabulous fruiting garden.

The owner created her own orchard here in the backyard. From a mature almond, avocados, limes and lemons, plums and olives to dragonfruit, you can harvest your own fruit right now, no need to wait for years for these trees to grow! There is a pretty little wildness about the garden, it feels organic, natural and free in a delicate tangle of greenery. For green thumbs there is so much potential. This has been the scene of many gatherings spilling out under the stars and many fire pits burning, guitars playing and merriment making.
There is a massive garage on the property for those looking for a workshop, extra storage or a studio, and there is a possibility to add a separate granny flat. In addition to the garage, there's ample parking on the property.

And look at the potential of this little home. If you love it as it is, its already perfect. But if you want to add value, it's a great renovation opportunity even keeping the original floorplan. If you want to extend you have plenty of room - you could go split level and do a double storey extension off the back, add a master, ensuite and retreat, move the kitchen dining and family downstairs and have bifolds opening to the gorgeous garden.....imagine what you can create!

This funky eclectic home fits perfectly in the Hilton landscape, a suburb full of organic gardens, tree lined streets, green thinking and character cottages. A suburb that is up and coming with a number of trendy cafes that have great reviews, a sweet primary school in easy walking distance and a number of green spaces. Of course, Hilton is also only five minutes drive to Fremantle and South Fremantle, so beaches, the caf strip, restaurants, wine bars, breweries and Fremantle's penchant for festivals, music and otherwise are all on your doorstep in a very affordable and beautiful suburb.

A number of younger professionals are moving into this eclectic space, renovating cottages and building new homes that carefully fit the streetscape, retaining the ambiance of the area while gentrifying it.

So if you're a Millennial Hipster, if you have a hippie heritage, if you want to renovate character and add massive value, or if you love quirk and charm and you still want to enjoy a Freo lifestyle on a bit more land, or if you love growing your own food and embracing a green lifestyle, then you need to come and see this funky cottage!
