Around the world, port cities are vibrant places to live, and this urban retreat in Fremantle rises above the action to offer an extraordinary panorama. On the top floor and in the sought-after end position, the vistas are doubly fabulous: harbour, ocean, islands and more from the north-facing living and master suite; and long green views, landmark historic architecture and Monument Hill from the two southern bedrooms. While the views are endlessly fascinating, the interior is completely serene, with acoustic treatments, double glazing, and other high-end features for luxurious living. This apartment, with an expansive terrace, additional bespoke storage, and a study, is one of the largest in the Liv building, entered via a private hallway space shared with only one other. Set one street back from the harbour, this is a wonderfully walkable location: shopping, restaurants, bars, galleries, museums, the train, and the river are all nearby.
The amazing outlook is striking as soon as you enter this sanctuary, where open-plan living has a wall of glass opening to the north, with sliding shutters and an automatic sunshade. Some go to down to Gage Roads at Victoria Quay to take in the sea breeze and have a drink while watching the ships go by, but you can enjoy all of that and much more from your very own spacious terrace. Even the kitchen faces the view, and is well-appointed with engineered stone tops, deep-drawer cabinetry and AEG appliances. Wake up to the panorama in the master suite, which features built-in-robes and a chic en-suite complete with a designer bath.
Working from home is made easy, with a fully-fitted study behind concertina doors. Beyond is another fine bathroom, and two bedrooms with big windows offering another enchanting perspective on the old city: the imposing Gothic architecture of the Fremantle Arts Centre, the green space of Fremantle Park, and the monument up on the hill.
As well as easy walking and cycling (stash yours in the bike racks), there is space for two cars plus a storeroom downstairs, as well as a community courtyard for residents, and a solar array on the roof as part of Liv’s sustainability principles. Be part of a new way to live in Fremantle, and go straight to the top to see the port city and its ocean setting laid out before your eyes.
