Grand arches of hand-cut brick, circular windows and earthy Fremantle limestone make the striking façade a true West End landmark. Inside is a warehouse conversion of rare flexibility: two apartments for a flourishing short stay business; live in one and rent the other, or easily convert back into a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. And, to make it even better, a vast original archway features steel and glass doors to Henry Street, offering fantastic commercial potential in one of the best positions in Fremantle. Walk to the beach, park, train, museum, galleries, cafes, restaurants, bars and shopping, and enjoy the ambience of a neighbourhood rich in history.
A gated tree-lined laneway runs through to Packenham Street, in one of the most successful adaptations of Fremantle's 19th century industrial architecture. The reinvention of the interiors of these apartment homes makes the most of the arches and windows of the historic exterior. Use of steel and glass complements the original stone internal walls and massive timber trusses, while the stylish finishes and fittings offer contemporary comfort and functionality.
On the ground floor is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with its own gated courtyard space. It is sleek and bright, with polished tile floors, mirrored built-in robes, and open-plan dining, living and kitchen with washing machine incorporated. Through a separate entry, ascend the timber stairs to another self-contained apartment: kitchen, living and dining, a bedroom and two bathrooms, with a second bedroom on the third level. That separation offers even more opportunity to configure these homes as you wish.
Remarkable flexibility for living, income and business makes this a rare offering. Whatever you choose to do, it is a prime investment perfectly positioned and brimming with irreplaceable atmosphere.
