3 Girton Lane, Fremantle WA 6160

Architectural Brilliance - Under Offer 1st Week

3 Girton Lane is a standout residence with exceptional adaptability designed by local architect, Michael Patroni. An award-winning architect, Michael's designs 'create opportunities for spatial experiences that delight and engage the inhabitant as well as the bystander'.

The concept of spatial experience is reflected in two dwellings - the main residence and a sophisticated pavilion, both positioned alongside one another. Independent yet sharing an elevated block that offers superb views extending to the nearby Fremantle port and ocean beyond.

Designed to take full advantage of the surrounding vista, the home captures the northerly light which enriches the timeless materials such as rammed earth, steel, glass and timber, contributing to the pleasing mood of the properties inside and out.

The ground level in the main residence offers a seamless indoor and outdoor setting. Floor-to-ceiling steel-framed and glass concertina doors open onto a stunning decked alfresco and leafy terraced garden. Minimalist lines define the spacious open-plan lounge and dining room which features a welcoming open fireplace. The open-plan layout incorporates a sleek and functional galley kitchen which the owners love. Preparing delicious meals will be a breeze with the expansive stainless-steel bench top and high-quality appliances.

Upstairs, two bedrooms boast soaring A-frame ceilings with walk-in robes, while the third bedroom offers an open attic space. The adult retreat (main bedroom) steps out to a romantic balcony with breathtaking views of the ever-changing sky and local port. The bathroom is simple and stylish with a separate deep bath, open shower and more views.

The nearby upper-level pavilion, a later addition also designed by architect Michael Patroni, provides a sophisticated and versatile guest house. This innovative freestanding apartment is complete with stunning polished concrete flooring, European style bathroom and exceptional use of floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

Impeccable indoor-outdoor living is achieved from the interior lounge by opening the stack-back glass doors onto a generous terrace, which faces the harbour to the north. A separate private courtyard is also seamlessly accessible from the bedroom.

This exceptional, well-considered home would not be complete without an extra-large double garage with a serious temperature-controlled wine cellar, plus a sizable storage room/workspace.

Standing proud amongst an enclave of quality homes in a unique heritage precinct, and tucked away in the inner City of Fremantle, this property has a strong point of difference in its hidden appeal.
