Live in a cool warehouse conversion in an idyllic North Fremantle location just minutes to the beach and metres to the Swan River, parklands and spectacular waterfront walking trails.
In a dreamy coastal spot nestled between parks lies this stunning two bedroom warehouse conversion home. Tucked beyond the iconic Burford Soap Factory, this building was originally built as storerooms for the factory before being converted into a small group of boutique homes in the 80s.
Since then, this beautiful two bedroom residence has been meticulously renovated, keeping its incredible industrial features like original ceiling beams while its update has given it a fresh, bright and airy feel perfect for modern day living and entertaining. This home is one of the most desirable in the complex, enjoying a premier parkside position and with private garage parking for not just one but two cars.
Location-wise, this is one of the most prestigious pockets in North Fremantle, peaceful and quiet yet minutes to everything. Start your mornings with a walk or run along the limestone cliffs of Rocky Bay, spotting dolphins in the Swan River, or take the dog to the riverside dog park right across the road. Or begin your day in the best way with a swim at Leighton or Port Beach before picking up a coffee and heading home to relax. The cafe and retail hub of Queen Victoria Street is just minutes away, as is coastal dining at Leighton Beach with hotspots like Palette and The Orange Box. Public transport, North Fremantle Primary School and childcare are close by, while it's a short drive to the shopping districts of Claremont, Cottesloe and Fremantle.
Entry to the home is through a covered, gated private walkway shared with just one neighbour. Open the front gate and be wowed by what lies beyond: a large, private courtyard and a two-storey residence framed by a north-facing wall of glazing.
The courtyard offers appealing scope for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, with a soaring louvered roof that can be opened up to let in the sun or closed for protection on rainy days.
Two huge barn style doors on the western end of the courtyard reveal the pretty park with playground next door. You will love sitting out here in the courtyard with friends, enjoying a drink before heading down to dinner at the many iconic North Fremantle restaurants on your doorstep like Bib & Tucker, Pearla and Co and The Bridge House.
Step inside to a light-filled, north-facing home with a cool industrial feel that will make you think of New York warehouse conversion living and chic Amsterdam apartments. Inside, the home immediately impresses, with a capacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining with soaring central ceilings and timber trusses.
An open-style central staircase draws attention to the two-storey ceiling with stunning original timber trusses. On the right is the beautiful living room with white-painted ceiling beams and view over the park. Tucked behind a partition wall is a small study or home office space with park view, ideal for WFH and also perfect as a children's play space or reading nook.
On the other side of the living, the kitchen and dining will delight chefs and entertainers, with a top-quality, freestanding 900mm Italian Lofra range with gas cooktop and plenty of cooking space with a central island bench with engineered stone waterfall benchtops. There is a semi-integrated Bosch dishwasher and plenty of storage. Alongside the kitchen is a renovated combined powder room and laundry with storeroom area.
Upstairs Japandi-style timber floors stained a rich Japan black perfectly complement the fresh white walls and timber trusses. Two big bedrooms bookend the upper floor with a modern bathroom between them. The bathroom has stunning timber-look floor tile, exposed ceiling beams, skylight, modern black tapware and floating vanity.
The main bedroom is beautiful, with soaring ceilings that highlight the warehouse clerestory windows and louvered windows that overlook the courtyard. The second bedroom is large enough for both a bed and a sitting or desk area. Both rooms have built-in robes.
The double garage is generously sized, with storage space including a mezzanine level. The house has split system air-conditioning.
Wonderfully private, this is a home that will feel like your cosy, chic retreat from the world in an incredible riverfront location. Make it your own.
