SOLD BY CONNIE HANDCOCK
This must be the finest apartment-style home in Fremantle, with a simply stunning modernist interior wrapped in the history of an important National Trust-classified building.
Move through the soaring lobby open to the sky and up the magnificent curving jarrah staircase, where 19th century grandeur shifts into the essence of 21st century design as you enter this astonishing space. Every element is of the highest quality, with glowing pale resin floors, simply beautiful bespoke cabinetry and a wall of glass that stacks and disappears so the living space flows through to the terrace.
With three spacious bedrooms, a large study, two bathrooms, secure parking, extensive storage, outdoor living, plus a balcony looking down to Esplanade Park, this is expansive apartment living in the heart of the old city.
The striking feature of the open-plan space is a large timber cube at the centre Walk inside the cube for the large pantry, while the exterior of the cube seamlessly incorporates a suite of high-end Gaggenau appliances, as well as a Liebherr fridge/freezer, bar-fridge, television space, a wall of perspex bookcases and a gas-log fire on each side to warm both the living and dining spaces. Clever storage created from fine timber cabinetry continues throughout the home, including the fully-equipped office, three lovely bedrooms and gorgeous bathroom with stunning oval bath. Down the stairs from the terrace, one of the bedrooms is separate from the other sleeping spaces and is ideal for guests, adjacent to a second bathroom and laundry.
The original residential conversion of the old Oceanic Hotel was awarded for its outstanding contribution to the built environment of the city.
More acclaim followed when an Italian architect was given free rein (and a huge budget) to completely re-create this amazing apartment - a reinvention recognised with a Residential Architecture Award.
The remarkable quality of every aspect of this home creates a unique atmosphere. Imagine experiencing that feeling every day, in the heart of old Fremantle with everything close at hand, Bather's Beach a stroll away for those Indian Ocean sunsets, and Esplanade Park at the end of the street.
