1/5 Harvest Road, North Fremantle WA 6159

COOL INDUSTRIAL CONVERSION

All the texture and character of this landmark building speaks to North Fremantle’s history and also defines its present: light-filled living in a vibrant precinct between the river and the ocean. Walk west to the beach or east to riverside parkland, dine at Propeller or Habitué, catch some live music at Mojo’s or a drink at Mrs Brown. Stroll back to a really generous and flexible two-level apartment home that’s private and secure, with a fresh, contemporary feel that cleverly retains traces of the building’s original fabric.

The Weeties Factory was transformed in the nineties in one of the port city’s most successful conversions of industrial to residential, and homes in this striking heritage building rarely come to market. This is one of the best: north-facing, with simply stylish renovated interiors and a great sense of openness and airy volume. It’s one of only two apartments in the building to have mixed-use zoning, providing valuable potential for home business or short-term accommodation.

A soaring ceiling and a series of tall steel-framed windows to the north flood the open-plan area with light. Bamboo floors flow in this expansive and well-designed space, with zones for living and dining, a study area, and an immaculate white kitchen with large island bench and walk-in pantry. Double glass doors lead to a sunroom that adds more flexibility, with water connected to create a serene internal garden if you wish. Also on this level is a storeroom and a pristine white bathroom with European laundry, generous shower and separate toilet.

Galvanised stairs harmonise with the industrial theme, leading to the sleeping zones: two charcoal-carpeted bedrooms with extensive built-in storage, custom orb ceilings and rustic original steel trusses. The sense of openness continues on this level, with big windows, interesting outlooks and lots of natural light. The sleek white bathroom has a bath, and features dual access from one of the bedrooms and from the galvanised mezzanine corridor that sits above the open-plan below. The apartment also features its own covered parking bay with loft storage.

With gated entrances from Burns Street and Harvest Road, via wide walkways lined with creeping fig and magnolia, there is a sense of harmony, security and privacy in this iconic building. North Fremantle is becoming more and more desirable, and this is a rare chance to combine the privacy and ease of apartment living with the historic vibe and thriving community atmosphere here between the river and the ocean.
