Flanked by Freo’s iconic Norfolk pines and harbour views beyond, this bright and airy tri-level townhouse, was one of the trailblazers among the architectural industrial-warehouse, loft-style designs now prevalent throughout the Port City.
Built at the site of an original factory building, this multi-residence development honours the classic Fremantle style of exposed limestone, corrugated iron and pitched roof highlights.
Distinctive black metal-framed, ceiling-height windows, lofty ceilings and open-top balconies, feature throughout this low-maintenance sanctuary, with a sunny rear courtyard, a sensational top-floor, loft-style bedroom (with a spa), and open-plan living to immerse and enjoy the relaxing and carefree attributes synonymous with Freo’s central heart.
Split over two levels, the modern kitchen, appointed with granite benchtops, 5-burner gas stove and courtyard views, overlooks the living and dining – all laid in limestone-effect ceramic tiles.
A huge, ceiling-to-floor warehouse style window frames this inviting, light-filled space which has access to a private front veranda (to discreetly people-watch and take-in the cooling sea breezes) or a charming rear courtyard, drenched in natural sunlight.
A timber and wrought iron open-tread staircase leads to two spacious bedrooms on the first floor; the front room with an ensuite bathroom and each with balconies and (mirror inlaid) wall-to-wall built-in robes. A generous shared bathroom with a tub and ample bench space completes the floor – fully fitted with rich latte-hued carpet.
Up another level is the grand reveal – a full-floor ski-chalet style, loft bedroom (or a second living area) with a pine-clad loft ceiling, spectacular harbour views from the balcony, and a spa bath to unwind and enjoy the seaside ambience.
Other features include secure below ground parking for two vehicles (via gated entries at South Street and Price Street) with storage, split-system air-conditioning units in the living room and first floor bedroom/master, a spacious laundry with toilet/powder room and external drying court access, gas bayonet in living and fresh white timber-effect blinds throughout.
Central to the complex is a delightful relaxation garden (with water feature) which adds a peaceful edge and ties the development together.
As far as premium coastal locations go, this is one of the most central, and by far the best. Walk in every direction to multiple attractions and cultural landmarks; Freo’s West End bars, cafes and retail stores, the Fremantle Markets, Fishing Boat Harbour and the charming South Terrace & Wray Avenue café strips, or meander to Bather’s Beach to the north, or South Beach to the south. Also steps away are Notre Dame University, Fremantle Sailing Club, the Rottnest Ferry service and several grocery stores.
For low-maintenance and lock-and-leave peace-of-mind, this practical townhouse offers it all, in one of the world’s most liveable cities.
