Once forming part of the German Consulate at 5 Mouat Street heritage building in the early 1900s and the famous Tarantella Night Club many years after that, this stylish one-bedroom one-bathroom warehouse-style laneway apartment spans three spacious levels and offers a splendid leafy aspect from almost every window, taking full advantage of its private rear position in a tranquil group of just three residences.
This historic and authentic minimalist home is ideal for those seeking space, comfort and the opportunity to walk anywhere and everywhere, without the need for a car. Double doors reveal a split-level entrance via the securely-gated laneway, whilst a winding staircase takes you down to the expansive lower-level utility space - complete with tiled flooring, a gas bayonet, television points and stylish light fittings - that can be anything from a home office to a versatile studio or even a potential bedroom retreat where a walk-in storeroom leaves plenty of room for a future ensuite bathroom (with plumbing already in place) if need be.
Multiple windows facing North, West and out to the laneway encourage cross-flow ventilation, much like the top floor where two separate sets of double doors allow even more fresh air to filter through, complementing a lush outlook at the same time. There, a massive master-bedroom retreat and its soaring high cathedral-style ceilings meet solid wooden floorboards, split-system air-conditioning, a large walk-through wardrobe with lighting and a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom - open shower, toilet, vanity and all.
One level below is where most of your casual time will be spent, enjoying the breeziness of an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, featuring more double windows, high raked ceilings, oiled timber floors, modern lighting, a fully-tiled laundry with a second toilet, a gas bayonet, stainless-steel bench tops, a stainless-steel range hood, a Smeg gas cooktop, an electric oven, a stainless-steel double-drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher and its own slice of the pleasant surrounding greenery. There are plenty of ticketed off-road parking bays for guests and visitors along Mouat Street, whilst a 24/7 street parking permit can be approved for residents upon application with the local council. The current owner has a secure undercover private car bay, around the corner which can be passed on to new buyer.
Do not miss out on a rare opportunity to occupy this iconic Fremantle landmark right in the heart of the town's vibrant "West End", neighbouring Notre Dame University and finding itself nestled within easy walking distance of restaurants, cafes, shopping, bus stops, the beach, Fremantle Markets, Fremantle Train Station, The Esplanade parklands and so much more. How lovely.
