51 High Street presents a very rare opportunity to purchase a magnificent, centrally located apartment, full of character features, in a fantastic heritage building in the highly sought after West End precinct of Fremantle. In the centre of the old part of town, amongst the stunning architecture, historic sites and beaches, for which Freo is well known, you can venture out from this first floor apartment to find an array of tried and true plus new and exciting eateries, bars and pubs, embrace the lifestyle and get amongst the ever changing face of this vibrant port city.

You will fall in love with this gorgeous abode, with beautiful polished timber floorboards, timber window frames, extra high ceilings, and spacious rooms. The front lounge is north facing, and originally had a balcony over looking all the activities and goings on on Fremantle's High Street, which could be rebuilt to restore the heritage appeal of the frontage, subject to approvals. The building is steeped in history and has seen a wide variety of activities in its time including originally a watchmaker, jeweller and optician in !887 and then a drapery, bootmakers, boarding house and restaurant. Having a commercial zoning, this is an ideal spot to work from home.

Space abounds, with rooms which have flexibility to be used as required. Need a home office? Nursery? Guest room? Second lounge to split up the kids? You've got it!
The rear bedroom, is accessed through an adjacent bedroom or home office, ideal for siblings to be next to each other, or to be used as a living room or home office in a share house situation, which in turn is accessed from a central lounge.

The rear stairs lead up to a hallway giving access to the central lounge, bathroom, separate toilet and also houses the laundry. This leads through to the kitchen, which flows on to the front room which has been used as the main lounge. Off this is another bedroom, which can also be accessed from the central lounge. So use the spaces as required, 2 bedrooms and 3 lounges, 3 bedrooms and 2 lounges, a study or two, the home has also been used in two halves as two separate residences, with a shared kitchen and bathroom in the middle. Rent half and live in half, or apply to strata to rent half or all of the property on AirBnB to bring in some extra income.

There's pedestrian access from High Street, plus rear access from the secure carpark off Pakenham Street where there is an allocated parking bay. You will have to see this wonderful property to fully appreciate the variety options which abound.
