10/56 Pakenham Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Discreetly concealed inside an old corner-block warehouse is a spectacular modern apartment that just oozes the cool artistic and eclectic vibes synonymous with Fremantle’s iconic West End Heritage district.

Where else in the world does it feel like living in the thick of hip Greenwich Village but with the added benefit of pure Indian Ocean breezes and a world-class fishing harbour, right on your doorstep?

Sky-high, original timber-beamed ceilings, bright white interiors against recycled Fremantle brick highlights, warm blackbutt flooring and large warehouse-style windows define this impressive three-bedroom, two-bathroom, double-storey apartment.

Supremely private from street view, the property is set-back from the original warehouse walls by an inset open-roof veranda (with windows) which can be opened year-round, but still protected from the wind.

Like any classic loft-style dwelling, the layout is open with living, dining and kitchen sharing the space in harmony. A wide stone breakfast bar gives spatial balance between the modern kitchen and the rest of this generous area, and two fully renovated bathrooms - one on each floor – which are styled with impressive floor tiles, funky subway wall tiles and Edwardian vanities.

The three bedrooms enjoy soft dappled light; the master includes built-in-robes, split-system air conditioning and a wall-width glass doors to a sunny, enclosed veranda.

The intoxicating energy enjoyed from this enviable location is unmistakable. Nestled right in the beating heart of Fremantle-town, there’s any number of highly regarded restaurants (Bread in Common is across the street), bars (Strange company is up the street), cafes, ice creameries and exotic take-away options, all within skipping distance. Not to mention the iconic Fremantle Markets, oodles of boutiques, artists’ and yoga studios, cinemas, and of course, Notre Dame University, all just steps away.

A bike – and a good pair of walking shoes – will be all you need; a car and cab-fares will become redundant when there’s so many streets, lanes and coastal beauty to explore by foot.

This property will appeal to couples, students or even down-sizers wishing to embrace a totally carefree and cosmopolitan way of life or investors looking for a highly rentable pad.
