SOLID steel gates guard a vine-covered lane way leading to this wonderful secret home and garden in Fremantle’s historic West End.

A warehouse conversion off Mouat Street, one of Fremantle’s earliest, it’s a glorious mix of old and new, with soaring walls of glass, timber, corrugated tin and steel — mixing with heritage limestone and wonderfully aged jarrah.

The dining room is a glass conservatory, with three massive glass walls. At the flick of a switch the glass roof becomes a waterfall.

High limestone walls either side protect two lovely courtyard gardens.

The kitchen is a huge space that is totally space-age, with a wall of glass onto the lushly planted garden, a huge five-burner stove and two massive pantries.

There’s a second sitting room on the second level, with a mezzanine to the dining room and its water feature ceiling.

Local architect Richard Longley created this amazing four-bedroom/three-bathroom abode, and son Luc’s bedroom has a small brass plate in the huge jarrah beamed floor concealing a time capsule.

With an adjacent study and access to a timber deck overlooking a lush garden, this generous space would have to be the ultimate teenage pad.

The main bedroom is on the opposite end, with a massive wall of glass overlooking the garden.

A sun roof sits atop this amazing home, with a swathe of synthetic grass creating an alfresco eyrie, with views across West End roofs and chimney pots.

A self-contained studio on the ground floor is perfect as a granny flat, or for grown-up kids who won’t leave home (and living here why would they?). Or rent it out as short-term accommodation, in such a central location, and close to Bathers Beach, you’ll never be short of punters.
