Recently rented at $900 per week (furnished) to a corporate tenant, this retro river apartment is your ideal investment opportunity. A peaceful lane entrance past the Memorial Gardens within an immaculately presented boutique development unveils this prized retro gem overlooking the river. Perched upon an elevated corner position, this original 1960s apartment has retained its charming interior style of stucco walls, original hardwood floors & vintage built-in furniture to offset golden light and breathtaking waterfront panoramas. Framing Stirling Bridge & harbour glimpses beyond, the seamless layout of this spacious abode affords views in serene privacy from the open plan living, kitchen & dining (with balcony access), as well as the master bedroom. A modern kitchen with double aspect views to the river on one side & a tropical oasis from the entrance, is appointed with under cabinetry lighting, timber benchtops, solid glass splash backs & Miele appliances, in addition to a handy servery window, which emulates 60s-era classic design. The three bedrooms, privately located from view and each set generously apart, are furnished with plush warm grey carpet and separated by a galley-style laundry and spa-inspired bathroom. Clad in full terrazzo tiling, a walk-in shower, and a funky glass brick feature wall, the bathroom complements modern chic with hints of retro charm. Two of the bedrooms include original vintage timber built-ins with ample storage; along with an integrated mirror vanity in the master suite where epic river views are admired from a large-set window. Additional storage for household appliances and bedding is accessible via a generous linen press, discreetly concealed by a sliding door. Verdant undulating gardens sloping downwards to the river envelop the property in natural beauty and provide a private haven to relax in the sunshine or step down to the foreshore and footpath below. Other features include a single carport directly outside the property, a split-system air-conditioning unit and gas bayonet in the living room, block-out drapes, security grills on the front door & entrance (kitchen) window, and access to an inviting Memorial Garden honouring World War II veterans and shaded by grand Morten Bay fig trees, set within the central grounds of the development. This immaculately presented, low-maintenance residence offers boundless opportunities as a short-stay accommodation investment (3 months minimum), a perfect downsizer option or simply enjoyed as a blissful, light-filled sanctuary within the heart of East Fremantle and its nearby attractions.
