65/46 East Street, East Fremantle WA 6158

Minimalist interiors, maximum views

Ocean, islands and harbour to the west, wide winding river to the north, Monument Hill to the south, and east over the landscape to the hills – the ever-changing outlooks from this top-floor apartment are spectacular. Interiors have been newly transformed by the architect owner to create a minimalist, industrial feel with ply, concrete, steel, and thoughtful bespoke storage. Refined design solutions emphasise space and openness, with a clean palette as an uncluttered backdrop to the views. This rare position in the building offers the best of panoramas and unusual seclusion, with only two neighbours. Below is the Swan River, and all the delights of the George Street precinct: cafes, park, restaurants, salons, and boutique shopping. It’s all about freedom too; ideal to lock up and travel, and come home to a lofty retreat above river and ocean.

Through the front door you’re immediately hit by the view straight ahead: the gantries of the port and the blue of the harbour, Gage Roads and Rottnest beyond. Step out to the balcony and the vista unfolds even more. Open-plan living has concrete floors, air-conditioning, black track lighting and ply cabinetry, including a cleverly concealed TV lift and a bank of built-in seating (with storage) in the dining space. A large window to the north looks along the river to Mosman Park, and the eastern windows offer long vistas to the hills. Kitchen design is sharp and effective: integrated fridge-freezer behind charcoal cabinetry, high-end appliances including induction cooktop, and a steel island bench with storage incorporated. Ply cabinetry continues in the simply beautiful bathroom, with stone-toned Spanish tiling and European laundry, and those fine finishes are echoed in the separate powder room.

Two bedrooms, both with built-in storage, face the fascinating western view. For a single or couple, the second bedroom is an inspiring workspace with a long desk built in, and room for a bed for guests. The building embraces a friendly, mostly owner-occupied community, with manicured common gardens, secure parking, and additional guest parking.
Up on the top floor, everything has already been considered and reinvented with professional creativity and a design aesthetic as elevated as the location.
