Once the German Consulate in the early 1900s, this minimalist inner-city home is one of three occupying the soaring spaces of one of Fremantle’s most distinctive historic buildings, hidden down a charming laneway.

“The front building was once the German Embassy and at the rear, which has been converted into 3 warehouse apartments, were originally Wool Stores,” agent Connie Handcock told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “The architect is Michael Patroni who is a prominent architect who does lots of heritage buildings. The owners did most of the renovation owner/builder work and have done an amazing job. No expense spared.”

Beyond the Romanesque flourishes of the exterior is a refined, light-filled home with vast spaces set over three levels. The high ceilings create a wonderful sense of openness, and a lower level zone with its own living, study and bathroom offers desirable flexibility.

On the main level, the open-plan living delivers luxurious simplicity with jarrah floors, tall white walls, and a seamless white kitchen with touch-opening cabinetry and superb black granite tops, plus a scullery with more storage and a separate toilet adjacent. Double glass doors with huge original timber shutters open to the laneway courtyard space.

Up the spiral staircase is the vast master suite, where the lofty white cathedral ceiling is crossed with huge jarrah roof trusses and an enormous window to the north. There is plenty of space in this room for a study area, and the extensive walk-through wardrobes and master-suite (complete with clawfoot bath) are tucked away behind a white wall.

The lowest level of the home has its own serene atmosphere, with the minimalism of polished concrete floors and the historic touch of the building's original brick walls revealed in the sitting room. More northern windows bring in the light to the study, and to the peaceful bedroom. This tranquil space has a raised timber platform for the bed, pale timber built-in storage and a floating white desk running the length of the room. The beautiful bathroom continues the stunningly simple design themes.

Positioned in a very quiet location, the property is within walking distance of everything Fremantle has to offer, including restaurants, shopping, beach, and train.

The auction will be held on site on Saturday 23rd November at 11:30am.
