This unique home in the historic heart of Fremantle's West End has it all - walk to everything -walk to Bathers Beach, train, Notre Dame, Fremantle Markets, the wonderful Fremantle restaurants, quirky shops and pubs and clubs.
Stroll to Bathers Beach at sunset, walk to the train two blocks away or just step out your door to enjoy the vibrant lifestyle as a West End local.
Rising over four levels to a stunning rooftop terrace, this tall slice of a landmark historic building is a real treasure - a captivating and unusual home full of surprises inside and out.
Converted from the grand Commercial Bank building, this is atmospheric apartment living on a grand scale, with two very spacious bedrooms, wonderful natural light and fascinating outlooks in the heart of the old town.
Very high ceilings, white-painted interior timber panelling and beautiful jarrah staircases all add to the irreplaceable historic atmosphere, where you can enjoy indoor-outdoor living in a highly desirable and totally walkable location.
You will love this flexible two bedroom-two bathroom home: open-plan kitchen/dining, generous mezzanine living
(or guest area), fabulous third-level private terrace and, above it all, a rooftop dining/entertaining zone with views over the rooftops to the port.
Watch the ships at sunset.
With a vast arched window giving it a distinctive street appearance, double-storey floor-to-ceiling steel-framed waterfall glass to the north, shaded by lovely leafy trees.
Upstairs is a mezzanine living room, and white bathroom with laundry. The next level is a stunning surprise: a large bedroom with lofty ceilings flows through to a semi-enclosed terrace with an outlook of historic streetscape, trees and sky. There is also a bathroom with bath on this level, making it the ideal master suite.
There is more amazing space to come on the next level, where another large bedroom or flexible living space opens to a magical rooftop terrace.
With plenty of room for a long table, this must be one of the best spots to entertain in Fremantle.
The work of prominent architect Antony Ednie-Brown, the adaptive reuse of 66 High Street was a significant moment in the architectural history of the West End, and the enduring spirit of that work lives on in the generous spaces in this remarkable home.
