Step through grand wrought iron gates and let yourself be enchanted by the inviting and tranquil courtyard of the 'village' that takes residence at 15 & 17 Essex Street - bringing the romance of Olde Worlde France to Central Fremantle.
This gorgeous limestone, iron & brick home takes prime position in the community and is situated furthest from the road at the back of the U-shaped complex.
Step through the front door and straight into the engine room - literally. Built circa 1862, this was the engine room of the Port Flour Mill. It has now been enhanced with a warm glow of light timber and transformed to an open plan kitchen/dining/family area.
Step outside to your private and charming patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee in peace and quiet before continuing along your private access way to your underground 2 car parking spaces and significantly sized storeroom.
Up the timber staircase, on the 2nd level, you will find three spacious bedrooms all with gorgeous stained glass windows. Two of which share a gorgeous Juliet balcony and bathroom with a deep bath and separate shower recess. The third bedroom features a built in wardrobe and crisp ensuite.
The third level loft bedroom is a fascinating space with beautiful timber hues and sweeping beams. Open up the custom made stained glass windows to the front and take in the views across the historic roof tops. The spacious ensuite also features a spa, WC and a bidet.
Including a private courtyard and balcony, this beautiful home offers you the opportunity to take your place in the Old Flour Mill and enjoy the enviable lifestyle on offer in the highly sought after West End location of the Port City.
