Here's a chance to own a charming piece of WA history. This apartment is in the old Mills and Ware Biscuit Factory, a South Fremantle icon established in 1899. And here's a fun fact: as well as producing popular cakes and biscuits, the factory was the largest industrial employer of women in WA.
Arnotts Biscuits became a shareholder in Mills and Ware in the 1950s and the company became Arnotts Mills and Ware. The factory was closed in 1992 and the complex has been transformed into the Biscuit Factory Apartments and Mills Wares Park.
It's a great link to WA's past, but let's skip to the present. The complex is in a sweet location, just a short walk from South Beach or the Fremantle Yacht Club.
And there are plenty of tasty treats nearby to tempt your tastebuds - Copper Chimney Indian restaurant is on the corner. Opposite that is Patisserie La Vespa for coffee and cake or lunch. Stroll a little further to Wild Bakery or Roasting Warehouse for more goodies, or grab a dinner drink at Running With Thieves brewery and distillery. There is so much to explore and enjoy in the neighbourhood.
While the complex naturally has an industrial vibe, the home has a coastal feel with its white walls and terracotta coloured floor tiles inside, and courtyard with bagged walls and vibrant blue gate outside.
Entry is either via the secure complex's gated central courtyard or foyer
The home has two levels. On the ground floor there is a light-filled open-plan living/dining/kitchen area that opens to the courtyard. The kitchen has an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher and rangehood, plus a pantry and fridge recess.
The bathroom with shower, vanity unit and toilet, and laundry facilities is also on this floor.
A mezzanine level includes a sitting/study area and the bedroom with built in room. Ceiling fans and a reverse-cycle split-system airconditioner keep the home cool.
Whether you're looking for a place to call home or an investment, this home could hit the sweet spot.
