A brick cobbled piazza offset by a tranquil water feature is the inviting entry statement for this historic two-bedroom (+ loft), two-bathroom terrace built over five levels within a charming, gated development.Drawing its history from the Port Flour Mill (circa 1860s), which was converted into seven residential apartments, plus a bed and breakfast property in the early 90s, the iconic landmark was architecturally designed with distinct French provincial influences in mind.Clad in a solid limestone exterior, the interior aesthetic is an inviting mood of white-washed textured walls, high ceilings, pine floors and casement doors and windows.Practical as it is functional, the open plan living, kitchen and dining enjoy peaceful courtyard views while the stylish, thoughtfully designed kitchen is fitted with stone benchtops and island bench, induction stove top, Smeg wine fridge and integrated Euro oven and (Smeg) microwave, in addition to an abundance of gloss white cabinetry (and a discreet powder room).A spiral staircase leads to a luxuriously spacious twin vanity bathroom (with the inclusion of a European laundry) with plenty of storage below stone bench tops and offset by striking black marble floor tiles.A few steps up to another level and the main bedroom is once again, thoughtfully curated to maximise the space with wall-length built-in-robes, built-in drawers and a wall-width mirror, along with access to a charming balconette overlooking the courtyard.A modest guest bathroom leads to the attic style second bedroom (with split-system air conditioner) which adjoins the top floor mezzanine/loft level which could equally double as a home office, or storage space with the surprising addition of fabulous roof-top views! Secure below ground parking provides direct private access to the property, while the street level gates are locked from public access between 8pm and 7am.Venture beyond of the wrought-iron gates of this truly enchanting, French provincial-style mews and you'll find all the attractions that vibrant Fremantle is known for including the charming Whisper Wine Bar, Luna on SX Cinema, the Fremantle Markets, loads of iconic bars, cafes and restaurants, the beach and of course, the internationally renowned, Fremantle Harbour.
