Nestled along one of Freo's most iconic streetscapes, named after the tall Norfolk Island pines that line the verges, this setting is filled with rich historical atmosphere. Part of the old Iceworks building, this corner lot has seen it all over the past century and more: storage of wool, skins, and produce thanks to Fremantle's bustling port trade, the headquarters for the royal Dutch navy in the second world war, and even the former site of the Richmond Cold Stores for decades. In the heart of all the action, you'll love the easy walkability to Freo's main attractions including Esplanade Park, the cappuccino strip, Fremantle Markets, FOMO at Walyalup Koort, the Fishing Boat Harbour, and Bather's Beach where you can enjoy a refreshing ocean dip over summer.
The proud facade brings a Tuscan-inspired influence, framed by balconies and elegant design, with a secure entrance shared with only two other apartments. Upstairs, sunlit interiors unfold to a wonderful sense of space across honey-coloured Tasmanian Oak floors, and the open-plan layout is all about the breezy ambience with your choice of two balconies: a large, sheltered terrace suspended above Norfolk Street's ever-changing streetscape, or a sweet Juliette balcony off the study nook tucked into the corner. The kitchen is a testament to refined luxury: granite topped benches, dark timber cabinetry, and fine appliances including an integrated Miele dishwasher and 900mm stainless-steel oven with gas stovetop.
Terracotta tiles distinguish the bedroom wing from the main living, with a wall of bi-fold cupboards housing the European-style laundry in the hallway. In the master suite, the impressive sense of space continues with all the added comforts of air-conditioning, private balcony access (shared with the second bedroom), extensive built-in robes, walk-in robe (with a secure safe), and ensuite for two with a double vanity, corner shower, toilet and bidet. Two more bedrooms, each with sliding, mirrored robes, share another large bathroom with a shower/bath, toilet, and vanity.
Despite the walkable centrality, this apartment has the luxury of two secure undercover car bays, easily accessed steps away from your front door. There's also guest intercom and a dumb waiter servicing the apartment block.
Norfolk Street is a special part of Freo's historical fabric, offering a gateway to the ultimate cosmopolitan lifestyle. With all the perks of inner-city living on your doorstep, you'll love everything this apartment has to offer and more.
