This eighties brick and iron architecturally designed home is full of angles, curves and individuality, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere, upstairs views of the towering cranes of the port and the big blue of the Indian Ocean out to Rottnest, and the bonus of a big, adaptable garage/workshop with loft.
In a quiet street very close to the river, this great unique home has an indoor-outdoor feeling, as all the downstairs rooms, including the bedrooms, have their own sliding doors out to courtyard spaces.
Enter via the bullnose side veranda to a central, slate-floored lobby that opens to two bedrooms (each with mirrored built-in-robes), a very cool black and white bathroom with curved wall and a big laundry with a separate storeroom and direct access to outside.
Up the spiral staircase you'll find the open-plan kitchen, dining and living, all under a high-pitched ceiling giving the space a great sense of volume.
The blue and white galley kitchen has brand new appliances and plenty of deep-drawer storage.
A fan-forced wood fire warms the open plan kitchen, living and dining area in winter, with air-conditioning and ceiling fans for summer, or you can just open up to the sea-breeze and step out onto the generous balcony with its views of the port and the ocean.
A curved white wall leads up to the study and to the upstairs bathroom (complete with brass porthole), then jarrah stairs lead up to an extra loft sitting room, where the ocean and island views are spectacular.
This is a wonderful space for an extra sitting room or where a bed would easily serve to make it a spectacular for a third bedroom.
The big garage is a separate building at the front of the property, with independent access.
Its unusually high-pitched roof accommodates a spacious mezzanine accessed by jarrah stairs, making it a flexible space full of possibility.
There is also plenty of space for off-street parking.
The home feels secluded, with the additional security of roller shutters and the convenience of ducted vacuuming.
The restful courtyards include a productive garden with flourishing juicy figs, pomegranates and lemons, as well as the scent of rosemary and lavender and the sound of birdlife. This is a unique and inviting home, just a short walk to the river, close to schools and public transport and close to cafes, restaurants, George St and Fremantle.
