A Slice of 'North Freo' History on Harvest!
In the 1990s, “The Weeties Factory” was transformed into one of the port city's most successful conversions of industrial to residential, with homes in this striking heritage building rarely coming to market – but this is your opportunity to experience living here in this historic complex, taking full advantage of a warehouse-style 2 bedroom 1.5 bathroom townhouse residence with secure, ground-level access.
Beyond gated entrances off Burns Street and Harvest Road, wide walkways lined with creeping fig and magnolia create a sense of harmony, security and privacy in this iconic complex, en-route to your unit that sits just metres away from the securely-gated carpark and can be accessed by a front security door with a keyless pin-code entry. Solid timber floorboards warm both levels, inclusive of a welcoming front lounge room with a raked character ceiling, a fan and custom shelving, leading through to the open-plan dining and kitchen area.
Before spilling outside, via double doors, to a private rear entertaining courtyard with shade sails and a hot/cold water outdoor shower (perfect for washing off after a trip to the beach), the kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you could ever want or need – a Westinghouse electric cooktop and Freestyle stainless-steel oven, a dishwasher of the same brand, an island bench and charming wooden cabinetry included. Also downstairs is a large laundry with storage and its very own powder room.
Traces of the building’s original fabric continue up the winding timber staircase, where you will find a landing with a ceiling fan and entry into a central and stylish beautifully renovated bathroom – comprising of a bathtub, a ceiling-mounted rain shower, a toilet, heat lamps and twin stone vanities. A light, bright and spacious master-bedroom retreat plays host to a ceiling fan, split-system air-conditioning, high angled ceilings and a mezzanine for loft level sleeping or extra storage, if required.
The second bedroom is also generous in its proportions, with soaring ceilings complementing another split-system for climate control, plus stylish light fittings. The parking lot is secured by a remote-controlled driveway access gate, with one car bay allocated to the townhouse.
You will absolutely love living in this vibrant precinct between the crystal-clear Indian Ocean waters at Port Beach, as well as our picturesque Swan River. Walk west to the surf and sand, or east or south to sprawling riverside parklands, excellent dining at Propeller or Habitué, live music at Mojo's or a burger from Flipside while you enjoy a drink at Mrs Browns.
Stroll to other restaurants, cafés and boutique shopping too, as well as public transport (including North Fremantle Train Station) and the heart of old Fremantle town itself. This truly is an urban lifestyle like no other!
