THE Chook loves a home with a great backstory and this Fremantle property doesn’t disappoint.
Situated on South Terrace, it was originally part of an old wool and hide store built in 1923.
Around the mid 1990s, the building was redeveloped into hip warehouse-style residences, designed by renowned Freo architect Brian Klopper.
The end result is classic Klopper – a breathtaking fusion of timber, industrial steel and natural light.
This three bedroom one bathroom house has that New York loft apartment feel.
The open plan living/dining/kitchen area has a lovely collection of textures and hues – polished concrete floor, natural wood, steel beams and cast-iron window frames.
It’s all bathed in natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows along one whole side of the living area.
From here you have lovely views of the verdure in the back garden.
Completing the stylish picture is two stunning light globes dangling above the long dinner table.
They look slightly retro and the casings are reflective, adding depth to the room.
Despite the industrial-style architecture, the open plan feels homely and relaxing with soft furnishings and a lush garden backdrop.
Tucked away in the corner is the gleaming white kitchen, which has loads of cupboards and drawers and high-end stainless steel appliances.
The rear courtyard is an atmospheric affair with potted plants, lounge setting, and a BBQ in the corner.
The home is split over three levels and on the first floor you’ll find two spacious bedrooms with built-in robes.
The large floor-to ceiling windows ensure they are bathed in natural light and you can access a long balcony from both bedrooms.
It’s a lovely spot to relax with a glass of vino or a cup of tea and peer out at the greenery.
The bedrooms share a good-sized bathroom with a bath/shower.
The Chook’s favourite spot in the house is the show-stopping main bedroom on the top floor.
It occupies the entire floor and is a light-filled delight with a sloping ceiling and stunning views from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Walk onto the balcony and enjoy vistas of the treetops and the ocean in the distance.
It’s a huge room and there’s plenty of space for a home office in the corner or whatever else you want to add.
The property includes a powder/laundry room with an extra toilet, and two dedicated car bays.
Situated on South Terrace, near Wray Avenue, there’s a great range of cafes, small bars and restaurants nearby.
This is one of those unique Fremantle properties that will attract a lot of attention.
