Last Listing description (May 2015)
Set just minutes from the buzz of Fremantle and its busy fishing boat harbor, this secluded and sophisticated private residence is an oasis of luxury in the heart of Perth's most cosmopolitan city.
Blending impeccable style, an uncompromising attention to detail and design and a masterful use of space and natural light.
Designed by leading Perth architect, Sasha Ivanovich, renowned for his innovative, environmentally responsible design aesthetic, it is inspired by the principles of a Moroccan riad with a focus on the utmost privacy and is designed around a central internal garden or courtyard.
Offering an enviable, lock up and leave, luxury lifestyle just moments from some of the city's best beaches, cafes, bars, restaurants and galleries, this is a rare opportunity to join the ranks of inner city residents without compromising Western Australian's traditional love of the water and outdoors.
Set behind a deceptively simple, yet modern facade, stepping through the front door you leave the bustle of Fremantle life behind and step into a privileged, modern haven.
This unique home opens into a wide central hallway with high, raw concrete ceilings and a commanding view of the lap pool and living spaces beyond.
A ground floor lounge with stunning overhead cross timber feature
sits comfortably above a huge instant gas fire place
with a set of bi-fold doors opening out onto the internal courtyard
and pool.
The lower level bedroom is private and generously sized with built-in robes and an adjoining luxurious resort style bathroom with wooden bench tops
and design features and a frameless glass shower.
The stunning open plan kitchen and lounge area, features bi-fold doors opening out to reveal a spectacular alfresco timber decked entertaining space and adjoining lap pool.
With exposed limestone feature wall, a modern kitchen with marble
bench tops, integrated stainless steel appliances, overhead wine glass storage and an adjoining wine room, it's the ultimate set up for sophisticated, year round entertaining.
Upstairs the living and accommodation spaces are consistently styled with polished bamboo floorboards and an emphasis on open plan living with plenty of natural light and ventilation.
Although this home features ducted reverse cycle air conditioning both upstairs and down, it's sophisticated, climate conscious design and premium waterside position ensures it is rarely called on.
There are two bedrooms set at the northern end of the upper level living area, both with built-in robes and an adjoining similarly conceived resort style bathroom ensuring the utmost privacy for guests and children alike.
A transitional study nook
overlooking the lower levels and outwards to the pool, leads into a generously sized master suite with large walk-in robe, a luxurious ensuite bathroom and double doors out onto a private terrace with views directly over the Fremantle Fishing Harbour .
The jewel in the crown appears up a spiral staircase to a rooftop terrace with sweeping views across the Fremantle rooftops amidst a sea of Norfolk Pines.
With a stone feature bar, built-in kitchen, barbecue and a temperature controlled wine fridge
and a heating cabinet it's the ultimate destination for cocktails at sunset far above the buzz of Fremantle.
A rare gem in one of this city's most sought after waterside precincts, this is an opportunity to live the life most of us can only dream about.
