Ultra chic and sophisticated, this fabulous Fremantle property is a must-see.
The amazing elevation and 360 degree views are not the only surprises in this wonderfully unusual and desirable family home near the heart of historic Fremantle. Totally transformed from the solid bones of a 70's home originally built by a naval architect, it offers fabulous flexibility, flow and independent family spaces, all flooded with light and with views from every window.
This is the perfect community location with a childrens park across the road, around the corner from Wray Avenue cafes and shopping, and a short walk to the centre of town.
Sitting high above terraced front gardens, the home opens to an expanse of whitewashed American oak floors and a lovely double-height living area filled with light from high northern windows.
Beyond is the open-plan dining and perfect contemporary white kitchen with engineered stone benchtops and a suite of the highest quality Miele appliances.
Opening to terraces on both sides, this space really brings home the remarkable height of this location.
The large limestone-walled terrace to the west has its own staircase entry from the street and its own glossy white bathroom with dual access to a curved-wall bedroom hideaway - every teenager's dream. There's another separate bedroom zone at the front of the home with white bathroom and three bedrooms: two north-facing with lovely leafy outlooks and another with its own external entry and long views to the monument. Up the curving staircase is another large living area and master suite, both opening to a long balcony with stunning views: west to the ocean and islands and south across the treetops.
There's much more way down below, with stairs leading down to a massive garage and man-cave with mezzanine and under-stair storage, as well as an old bomb shelter underneath the garage that has definite wine cellar possibilities.
A stunning curved white wall and terrace at the rear of the home faces the wide back laneway, giving the great bonus of rear access and potential for additional parking, which is a real rarity this close to the centre of town.
This incredible home is a one-off, and you have to come inside to really experience the spaces, the light, the views and the total flexibility that will make this home work beautifully for you and your family.
