This unique dwelling in a group of only five townhouses, was designed by the revered and late Fremantle architect, Brian Klopper. Tucked away behind established greenery this two-storey East Fremantle townhouse feels wonderfully private and immersed in nature. Mature trees frame the home and its outdoor spaces, creating a leafy retreat with an almost hidden quality, while warm timber, soaring ceilings and generous proportions give the interiors a character all their own.
Step inside and the architecture immediately makes an impression. Parquetry floors extend through the ground floor beneath exposed timber beams and striking timber-lined ceilings, bringing warmth and texture to the open living and dining areas. The spacious white kitchen wraps around the room with extensive cabinetry, timber benchtops and gas cooking, while an adjoining pantry and separate laundry add everyday practicality.
At the rear, glass doors open directly to a generous brick-paved courtyard, shaded by the canopy of mature trees and surrounded by established greenery. It’s a wonderfully relaxed space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply escaping with a coffee, while a second private courtyard to the front gives the home another substantial outdoor zone and an unusual sense of space and separation.
Upstairs, polished timber floors and dramatic raked ceilings continue the home’s distinctive character. The impressively spacious main bedroom opens to its own elevated balcony nestled among the treetops – a peaceful spot to sit and take in the leafy surrounds. A second good-sized bedroom and bathroom complete the upper level.
Characterful, spacious and wonderfully secluded, this is a home with a personality all its own. With leafy outlooks, inviting indoor-outdoor living and plenty of warmth throughout, it offers a private East Fremantle retreat to enjoy as it is, with scope to introduce your own touches over time.
