Urban oasis between the terraces
Limestone, timber, glass and steel create an authentic Fremantle feel in this contemporary home in one of the port city’s best locations. Walk to the heart of town and cycle to the beach from this quiet little street between the terraces, leading down to the Fishing Boat Harbour. Wrapped around an internal courtyard, with open spaces, interesting architectural angles and lots of light, it’s an easy low-maintenance home and a fabulous investment in a charming historic neighbourhood.
The long timber-floored open-plan embraces living and dining, and an angled wall cleverly marks out a flexible space at the front of the home for study, playroom or gym, with sliding doors to a shady veranda out front to watch the world go by. The stone-topped kitchen features a striking wine-coloured glass splashback, 5-burner gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and big pantry. Steel-framed glass doors lead to a delightful high-walled courtyard with a giant shadecloth and mosaic water feature – all totally private and perfect for alfresco dining. Down the timber corridor are three carpeted bedrooms: one with en-suite bathroom, a big walk-in-robe and access to its own little courtyard, and another looking to the central alfresco. The main bathroom, in simple décor of white, black and timber, has a bath, and a powder room is convenient for guests. There’s a large separate laundry, with a drying court and utility space tucked around the back, and the single garage has additional paved parking out front.
The feeling of inviting the outdoors in with total seclusion in the internal courtyard makes this home something special, with great use of natural materials to add warmth and texture. The character is all here, with the convenience of contemporary design and easy lock-up-and-leave in a totally desirable and wonderfully walkable city-side location.
