Set within the landmark Heirloom Apartments, an award-winning adaptive reuse of the historic Dalgety & Co Wool Stores, 176/51 Beach Street brings together the character of Fremantle’s industrial past with crisp, contemporary living. Original Jarrah beams, soaring ceilings and the building’s heritage fabric create a sense of scale and history that simply can’t be replicated in a conventional apartment complex.
Spread across two levels, this one-bedroom residence has been cleverly designed to separate living and entertaining from the private bedroom retreat above. And with a balcony on each level, there’s an outdoor space to enjoy whether you’re starting the morning with coffee or winding down as the sun disappears over Fremantle.
Downstairs, the home opens into a bright and contemporary open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone. The streamlined white kitchen features stone bench tops, excellent storage, dishwasher and quality Bosch appliances, while the neutral palette and large-format flooring keep the space feeling clean, modern and easy to live in.
The living and dining area flows naturally towards the lower balcony, giving the apartment a genuine indoor-outdoor connection. There’s even room to incorporate a dedicated home office without compromising the main living space, an increasingly valuable addition for anyone working remotely.
Upstairs, the bedroom becomes its own private sanctuary. The warmth of the exposed original Jarrah beam contrasts beautifully against the contemporary white interior, while the high ceiling gives the room an impressive sense of volume. From here, step directly onto the upper balcony for another private outdoor escape.
The modern bathroom continues the home's clean aesthetic with stone finishes, extensive mirrored cabinetry and a generous glass shower.
Positioned overlooking Fremantle's Inner Harbour and Victoria Quay precinct, this is a home connected to the port city around it. Head out on foot and within minutes you can be amongst Fremantle's cafés, restaurants, bars, markets, galleries and historic streets or make your way towards the waterfront and jump aboard a ferry bound for Rottnest Island.
Nearby, you'll find WA Maritime Museum on Victoria Quay, the green open spaces of Fremantle Park and the restaurants and waterfront atmosphere of Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. You can walk to popular eateries including Beach St Co, Jetty and The Left Bank which are all located along the rivers edge. The heart of Fremantle is also only minutes away, yet back at home you can retreat above it all.
The apartment also offers secure undercover parking for one car, a lock-up storage room, lift access and a secure complex with CCTV, making it as practical as it is distinctive. The residence comprises approximately 86sqm of building area.
