4 Bellevue Terrace

Fremantle WA 6160

This is a beautiful home. On the ground floor, an expansive open-plan living, kitchen and dining area seamlessly transitions through a wall of north-facing glass to a covered alfresco. This space is perfectly designed for year-round entertaining, emphasizing the Klopper hallmark of blending indoor and outdoor living. A stunning Arts and Crafts style red brick fireplace is built into one corner, and a magnificent jarrah "minstrel's gallery" extends above. There's a beautiful play of light between the banks of windows and the rich, recycled bricks and timbers, and the lyrical quality created by the shapes and proportions of the space is exquisite. The natural limestone of the extension adds a complimentary quality to the rear living room, where there's a bank of bifold doors that open to the garden, and solid limestone stairs lead to the upper floor.

Two of the three large, ensuite bedrooms form part of the extension, expanding the separation of private spaces and creating excellent potential for guest accommodation. The third large bedroom is situated on the upper floor, alongside the original family bathroom. This room connects the old with the new and is adjacent to the study and the upstairs living room, which has floor-to-ceiling glass and ocean glimpses to one side, with a sweeping view down over the main living rooms and garden from the timber gallery.

This compellingly beautiful and enduring design exemplifies Klopper's commitment to sustainability, showcasing materials such as the reclaimed timbers from the old jetty, that carry with them a significant piece of Fremantle's history. Further to its architectural credentials, this home is simply a fantastic place to live! The strength of the design is enhanced by a timelessly romantic quality, and the joyous ingenuity which led Klopper to create such a thing as a viewing turret, an extraordinary tower with a winding wooden staircase lit by tiny leadlight windows. The sheltered platform at the top has built-in seating and boasts panoramic views that stretch from Garden Island to Fremantle Harbour. This prestigious and serene location on Fremantle Ridge, at the top of a tranquil cul-de-sac, is close to Monument Hill, just minutes from the beach, and a short walk into Fremantle or South Fremantle with all the shops, bars and cafes that make this city a great place to call home.
