Seeking a high-quality home that was climate responsive, supremely practical and honouring spatial balance between shared sun-drenched spaces and private living, were just some of the attributes sought from the owners of this aspirational coastal residence - custom designed by Fremantle architectural outfit, Cast Studio.
Ribbed timber screening from the façade shields a grand, geometric design on a generous rectangular allotment just steps from the beach and the thriving community of South Freo.
From the double-height entry foyer, over-sized, glass panels, and a cascading chandelier, offer glimpses into vast interior spaces, where the open-plan, living, kitchen and dining frame a grand, north-facing internal alfresco.
A combination of vertical sliding windows, vast sliding doors and white interiors bathe internal living zones in a northerly glow. This is where an industrial aesthetic of exposed concrete ceilings and red brickwork evoke snug den-like vibes in the step-down living room.
Effortless flow continues to the galley-style kitchen, fitted with plentiful Caesarstone bench space & timber veneer cabinetry, extending to a butler’s pantry, embracing more natural light via a large letterbox-style feature window. Appointed with integrated speakers, instant-and-boiling-water ZIP tapware, two full size Miele dishwashers, 6-burner induction stove top and double NEFF ovens, the ground floor is completed by a serenely private guest bedroom (with luxury ensuite and direct garage access), a bespoke wall papered powder room and a sculptural steel staircase with views to a planted rear courtyard garden beyond.
Soaring double-glazed windows, heated polished concrete flooring, highly insulated red brick walls, pre-cast exposed concrete ceilings, and a gloriously light-filled, double height alfresco, underscore an undeniable, industrial chic aesthetic from this exemplary residence.
A frameless glass enclosed swimming pool and outdoor speakers are offset by a chef’s kitchen equipped with abundant bench space and a Zeigler & Brown (5-burner) barbecue to be fired-up around the seasons, along with a step-down fire-pit below.
Upstairs, an open-air study fitted with built-in desks and cabinetry which separates a luxurious master suite. Which is inclusive of a deluxe double vanity ensuite styled in whites, greys and timbers; enormous walk-in shower with rain shower head and semi-enclosed dressing room at one end.
Remaining bedrooms (each fitted with ceiling fans and built-in-robes) in the eastern wing lead to a sumptuously-appointed lounge room clad in textured deep blue wallpaper and polished concrete floors – and an oversized family bathroom, with a deep, modern tub.
Other features include a rear-lane accessible double remote-controlled garage and keyless entry with loads of storage and shopper’s entry; fully reticulated easy-care gardens; an outdoor shower; ducted zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning; stylish, organically textured, open-weave drapes; LED downlighting throughout, security mesh on doors and video surveillance entrance, and a generous far rear laundry with drying court access.
Curated for the 21st century, the home includes a swathe of energy efficient considerations. Fitted with photovoltaic panels to power the home, and battery storage options to charge electric vehicles, every window is orientated to celebrate natural light in addition to excellent airflow, enjoyed from the Fremantle Doctor and coastal sea breezes.
Embracing retreat-like luxury in a golden coastal location, this is a home where families can grow and evolve while enjoying considered and supremely comfortable spaces, along with access to pristine beaches and parkland areas.
The best of South Fremantle, countless convenience, grocery, cafe and dining options, cycle paths and communal parks, along with two excellent primary schools up the road add to the sublime attributes of this truly bespoke residence.

South Fremantle is an established residential area within the City of Fremantle. Spanning two square kilometres, the land has harbour uses in the west sector as well as some commercial land use. Settlement of South Fremantle started in 1831 with growth taking place in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Expansion continued during the 1950s and 1960s and again in the early 1990s when new dwellings were added to the area.
With the Fremantle city centre just kilometres away, residents of South Fremantle will not want for things to do. South Beach is a major feature within the suburb, bringing to life its coastal appeal and there are plenty of local parks to explore. Other features of note are South Fremantle Shopping Centre, South Fremantle Market Place and Success Harbour Train Station, which provides convenient transport into Perth.
