A Manhattan Vibe with a Fremantle Soul

HOME OPENS CANCELLED! Call for details. Are you looking for a spacious, light-filled apartment that captures the history of Fremantle but has that Manhattan loft style vibe? One that offers a vibrant lifestyle right on your doorstep? Then this is the one for you!

The iconic Woodson’s Building offers the perfect combination of history and modern living. Built in 1898, rebuilt in 1922 and converted to apartments in 1995, inside are a variety of warehouse conversion style apartments, all differing in size, style, light and layout, and today we have the best on offer! In terms of natural light and a spacious, layout where you don't need to compromise, and storage capacity - this is the best apartment in the building! Yes, you can upgrade your kitchen, bathroom and convert the laundry into a second bath BUT you can't add windows, change the orientation or move the location of the kitchen and bathrooms, so compromises are made. This is a straight forward update if that's important to you, and its in very good condition so no need to hurry.
Number 11 is a 2 bed 1 bath apartment with a spacious floorplan that makes the best use of space. The living area is comfortably arranged and lined with floor to ceiling windows facing north, with warm timber floors. The apartment is at the top of the building open to the sky, so its bright all day long in summer without the sun burning through but in winter, the light streams in warming the floors. This makes the living area a bright, happy space to sit and relax in all year 'round. This area includes a sizable kitchen with its own west facing window, and not many of these apartments have a window in the kitchen! Here you have ample storage, a huge amount of bench space and overall, a very workable space, with the opportunity to upgrade and create your dream warehouse kitchen!

On the first level is also a generous guest bedroom with a wall of windows, built in robes and enough charm for any visitor! Off the kitchen is a laundry and powder room for guests. This laundry is a very simple conversion to a second bath and move the laundry into the cupboard under the stairs - and you'll add significant value and make it the perfect apartment for two singles.

The void in the living area gives you that great sense of space in which to breathe and adds to that Manhattan vibe, as you head upstairs to the Primary bedroom. This can be described as your escape. A massive room with space for a king size bed and a seating area, built in robes and it captures that northern light through the top of the windows. The walls feature the beautiful beams of the warehouse, working with and around the original solid joists adding texture, history and solidity. On this level is a large bathroom with a tub to soak in and a very handy storage room, similar to an attic for all those things you want to store, but are handy to have on hand so you don’t have to go to the basement - suitcases, spare clothes racks, spare fold up chairs, or convert it into a study. Perfect!

There’s also a large 16sqm lockable basement storeroom and one and a half car bays – for the obligatory Fremantle Vesper or to store those electric bikes.

However, with a lifestyle on the doorstep, you may not need it. Just walk out the door and you’re a short stroll from EVERYTHING! Straight across the road is your morning coffee at Best Wishes. If you work in the city, you’re 270m from the train station. Want to eat out? Restaurants abound from Japanese to Italian, from the quirky to the historic, a quick burger to fine dining. Or head over to Gage Roads for a drink or maybe one of the many old, beautifully restored hotels along Market street. Or maybe an icecream at Ben and Jerry's - there's really too many choices to mention them all.

Fremantle is renowned for its arts and culture. Galleries, museums, performance venues and festivals are held all year around. The music scene is fabulous. Concerts in the park, the Fremantle Arts Center, Freo Social, the pubs and bars. For those who like physical activities, you’re a stroll from Bather’s Beach, or you can catch a Cat Bus to South Beach. Bike paths head off in every direction. You can jump on a ferry to Rottnest Island for the day, go sailing, kayaking or paddle boarding. Nearby is the Fremantle Leisure Center and a number of 24 hour gyms, bowling, mini golf, gaming arcades - there’s even a circus school!
You’re also a short walk to Notre Dame, the Fremantle Markets, the Fishing Boat Harbour, Maritime Museum and the Fremantle Prison.

Fremantle keeps getting better and better, recently named as one of the World’s Greatest Places by Time magazine in 2022. Who wouldn’t want to live in the heart of such an eclectic and exciting city and now you can do it in your own funky loft apartment with a Manhattan vibe and a Fremantle soul.
