8 Carnac St, Fremantle is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 220m2 and floor size of 135m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2024. There are other 3 bedroom House sold in Fremantle in the last 12 months.
Perched at a lofty street elevation in one of Fremantle's most iconic community enclaves, this remarkably restored weatherboard cottage catches ocean glimpses and refreshing sea breezes from its proximity to the Port City harbour. Jarrah floors, high ceilings, and striking exposed brickwork complement chic, modern-day additions of open-plan living, sunny alfresco spaces, and lovely kitchen appointments.
Exterior statements of subtle dove greys and vivid whites evoke a Mediterranean mood where rosemary, shrubs and hardy succulents thrive in their coastal environment.
The extra-long hallway running down the spine of the home has been reinvented to adopt an industrial chic aesthetic of exposed, recycled brickwork before revealing a vast open-plan living kitchen and dining, with views to an enchanting double-tiered courtyard garden beyond.
A stunning open-layout kitchen, featuring a ceramic double sink, snowy white re-engineered stone bench tops, and earthy rope-style pendant lights hang over a huge island bench - fusing tradition with modern-day style. Loads of shaker-style cabinetry with traditional cup-pull hardware sit alongside an integrated AEG dishwasher, a twin wall oven, 5-burner gas stove & coastal grey subway tiles.
Similarly, the primary bathroom, adjacent to the master bedroom, is equally breathtaking with odes to heritage cues. Bold black & white floor tiles, an Edwardian-style double vanity with a Humphrey & Shutz Oxford lever basin-set and a grand walk-in shower, blissfully coexist in this generous space (also serving as a laundry & linen press) with sky-high ceilings and a (separate) duplicate themed toilet/powder room.
Featuring double sliding doors framed in colourful leadlight detailing and an original brick fireplace, the master bedroom is a dreamy retreat at the front of the home, where ocean glimpses are a delightful surprise, and access to a protected veranda (with a retractable roof & clear, zip track blinds) brings another layer of effortless, coastal living to be enjoyed around the seasons.
A timber, open-tread staircase (from the living room) reveals a loft-like upper-floor haven where high-pitched, white timber panelled ceilings and several skylights foster nautical accents, while a perfectly positioned study nook along with the adjoining secondary bedroom, maximise ocean views from funky, asymmetrical windows.
The surprise reveal of an adorable “secret fairy garden” in the attic space, is a magical place for children to play.
A pebble-tiled secondary bathroom with whimsical marine-life wall art, a tub and shower includes a beachy timber-topped vanity with designer heritage tapware.
The home was completely rewired and replumbed in 2016; other features included split-system air-conditioning units plus ceiling fans & built-in-robes to most bedrooms and rear laneway access with a single roller door and gate, and approved plans to build a studio/garage to optimise this garden area.
Located just off the charming Wray Avenue lifestyle strip known for its independent butcher, grocer, and great coffee, this is one of the true gems for fabulous Fremantle living.
Walk to Fremantle Primary School, the Fremantle Markets, Fishing Boat Harbour, and the endless array of cafes, bars, wellness studios and specialty boutiques along South Terrace, and embrace the charismatic charms of this enriching, seaside lifestyle.
