SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS
Distinct in its appearance, Montreal Commons has become an iconic part of Freo's industrial arts quarter with its multi-award-winning architecture and innovative design. Part of the One Planet Living community - including being one of the first carbon neutral apartment buildings in Australia since its completion in 2024 - the development runs entirely on renewable energy. Rooftop solar PV, integrated water-saving systems, and thoughtful waste-management measures anchor its sustainable ethos, complemented by serene communal spaces for residents to enjoy - all in a superb position opposite Fremantle Golf Course, with Booyeembara Park steps away.
Take the lift to level one or stairs through the scenic skywell - defined by layered courtyards draped in greenery. The utilitarian layout gives each level an open-air feel, with natural ventilation, filtered sunlight, and peripheral walkways connecting it all - culminating in a magnificent rooftop terrace for residents, with sweeping vistas of Freo's stunning landscape and barbecue facilities to enjoy.
Inside, refined industrial style meets contemporary warmth through exposed concrete ceilings, black-framed glass, white plantation shutters, and hybrid-timber floors. To the right, a grey-and-white bathroom with kit-kat tiles sits alongside a concealed European laundry leading to a bedroom with a queen-sized Murphy bed built into cabinetry, mirrored built-in robes, and a lovely courtyard outlook.
The open-plan living, dining and kitchen basks in golden-hour sunsets - extending to a sheltered south-facing balcony - while the kitchen forms the centrepiece: waterfall-edge island, stone benchtops, kit-kat tiled splashback, soft-closing cabinetry and sleek Franke appliances. The carpeted master suite wraps around to the left, complete with twin walk-in robes and an equally stylish ensuite for two. Ducted, zoned air conditioning ensures year-round comfort throughout the apartment. There's also an external storeroom for everyday practicality.
Guest intercom, fob access, gated entry to the basement car park (with one dedicated car bay), and CCTV cameras in all common areas are some of the excellent security features, with the bonus of a bike storage zone, communal herb gardens and fruit trees, and ground-floor cafe Kricket Local within the complex - perfect for your daily coffee or to take a night off from cooking.
Knutsford's creative spirit and industrial past give this precinct its unmistakable Freo feel - with all the joys of community, sustainability, open green spaces, and easy access to everything this vibrant suburb has to offer, right at your door.
