Fremantle Living at Its Finest: Elevated Outlooks with Dress Circle Location

UNDER OFFER BY STEFANIE DOBRO, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS!

Named for the beautiful views this elevated pocket faces, Bellevue Terrace has quietly evolved from its storied past into a place of character and connection – with an endearing community spirit few can replicate. Stroll to Stevens Reserve with the dog, cycle into town for vibrant nightlife, markets and cultural attractions, with the beach minutes away. Sunset picnics are magical at Monument Hill, where the Anzac Day dawn service remains a treasured tradition – locals coming together in quiet reflection, tributes lining their gates ahead of the annual gathering up the hill. This is such a special place to live – and that’s all before setting foot inside.

A modest façade of 1890s architecture, framed by a garden of rose, frangipani, lemon, and more, conceals the unexpected – a magnificent extension crafted by Peter Broad at InHouse Building Design, to take in sweeping vistas of ocean, sky, sunsets, port and islands, above a big backyard filled with birdsong and greenery.

Originally built for renowned Fremantle councillor John Higham, inside, thick stone walls, jarrah floors, terracotta and 15-foot rosetted ceilings reveal its history: master suite with marble-topped ensuite, parents’ retreat with pretty French doors, and three additional bedrooms serviced by a skylit bathroom.

To the rear, the open-plan living with soaring cathedral ceiling provides treetop glimpses, while the dining and jarrah kitchen spectacularly bring the outdoors in, with a laundry and separate WC nearby. Best of all is what lies above – a private sitting retreat extending onto a large balcony, with breathtaking vistas of ocean horizons, Carnac and Garden Islands, the sailing club masts, Norfolk Pine treetops, and twinkling port cranes.

Outside, a towering tipuana shelters the decked alfresco, with stone curving towards the back garden: olive, mulberry, lime, rose, climbing vines, and lawn. A firepit nook, traditional outhouse, and tandem parking for two cars completes the exterior, with solar power and air-conditioning for the interiors.

Those lucky enough to live here know it – rarely do lifestyle, location and community come together so well, and rarely do such properties appear on the market - complete with an elegantly elevated home on one of the largest blocks this side of Freo.
