18/1 High Street, Fremantle WA 6160

This must be the best view in Fremantle: look over the lawn of the historic Roundhouse below to the wide ocean beyond, and marvel at the blue panorama from the port to the north, across to the Fishing Boat Harbour, and all down the coast to the south. Here on the ocean edge of the West End is a wonderful place to live, with two terraces and two living areas over two levels. Stroll over to Kidogo Arthouse for some music by the beach, go for a swim, walk to shopping, restaurants, galleries and museums, or just stay home and gaze at the ocean. So central but with a feeling of secure privacy above it all, this is a brilliant opportunity.

The view strikes you as soon as you enter, with open-plan living leading to the wraparound terrace on two sides. Flow through to the kitchen, with stone tops, solid timber cabinetry and walk-in pantry, and its own ocean view with a sliding door to the southern terrace. Nearby is a powder room for guests, and a gas log fire warms the living space in winter.

A curving stair in pale terracotta leads to the lower level and another living room with the same spectacular view, opening to another terrace. Just imagine the sunsets, the drama of the ocean storms, the fascination of watching the maritime action, and the sound of the waves at night. You can also step outside from the ocean-facing master bedroom, with en-suite adjacent.

Two more spacious bedrooms enjoy the eastern vista to the character streetscapes of the West End, and over to the pines of the Esplanade. Also on this level is another bathroom with bath, plus a separate laundry, and there is secure side-by-side parking for two cars down below.

Breathtaking views and a superb location amongst the historic architecture of old Fremantle make this an unbeatable proposition, with the opportunity to refresh the interior spaces to really make it your own. Come up and see for yourself, and you'll gain a new perspective on the place where Freo meets the ocean.
