SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK, WHITE HOUSE PROPERTY PARTNERS
Looking out to the harbour, past the Norfolk pines and cranes, this Freo hideaway fits right into its portside setting. A maritime palette of timber, glass and steel shapes the interiors, with dramatic cathedral ceilings upstairs that flow towards the view. Subtle angles, jarrah floors, and earthy tiles span the layout, and the indoor-outdoor connection is a delight with two courtyards, front and rear, plus an upper balcony to sit and watch the ever-changing display of sunsets and ships. It's a quiet retreat from the bustling action on your doorstep, where you can walk, bus, or bike to just about anything: Gesha Coffee Co, Fremantle Arts Centre, Fremantle Markets, South Terrace, Bathers Beach, the train station, and a vast array of boutique stores, museums, art galleries, and live music venues.
Part of the Harbourview Apartments - a stylish warehouse conversion facing Beach Street with discreet entry off James Street - this apartment is in the most private position of all. Tucked towards the rear of the complex, enter through a high-walled courtyard and into hidden serenity. A long hallway flows to the bedrooms and bathrooms: one bedroom with mirrored robes alongside a generous laundry/bathroom, while the other, a master suite by a glossy, grey-and-white bathroom - complete with triple built-in robes and its own tiled terrace to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.
Upstairs, is all about the natural light and views to the north. The sense of airy openness and exposed timber trusses exude a warehouse feel, and the kitchen is superb: expansive bench space, great built-in storage, and stainless-steel appliances including an electric oven, gas stovetop, and Bosch dishwasher. There's a study or reading nook at the southern end, while opposite, the dining and living extends outdoors to the balcony's harbour vistas - sheltered by a shade sail. Two ceiling fans and split-system air conditioning ensure year-round comfort, or simply open up the windows for those refreshing coastal breezes.
Security is excellent with guest intercom, gated entrance to the common walkway, and secure, remote-controlled access to the undercroft car park with a dedicated car bay, single garage, and storeroom.
Life by the harbour is busy and wonderful, but here is a sanctuary hidden amongst it all - with everything Freo has to offer at your fingertips.
