194A High Street, Fremantle WA 6160

A charming enclave with the feel of a French village is the setting for a two-storey home full of light and with interesting outlooks everywhere. Secluded down a laneway opposite Monument Hill and next to the dramatic 1880s Gothic revival architecture of the original Fremantle Grammar School, this is a fascinating Freo location and an easy walk down the hill to town. The lofty second level is a beautiful space for open plan living and features the master bedroom where you get a glimpse of the port and the ocean in the distance.

The deep buttercup yellow of the tiled entry, the textured render of the walls, the antique Oregon internal doors, the tall double-hung sash windows and fine solid timber built-in cabinetry all add character to the interiors. There are two delightful bedrooms on the ground level and French doors from the air-conditioned sitting room which open to a private courtyard within high limestone walls. The lower level bathroom incorporates the laundry and leads to the garage with mezzanine storage and capacity for tandem parking for two cars. Visitor parking is also catered for with a bonus parking bay down the laneway.

Up the timber stairs the real delight of this home is revealed: a light-filled open plan space with lofty timber ceilings painted white, timber floors and windows all around making the most of the elevated location. Look out to the Norfolk Island pines, see the gantries of the port and glimpse the waters of the harbour and the ocean. The kitchen is simple and functional with real granite tops and white cabinetry. The space flows to a lovely terrace looking to the grand old Grammar School on one side and a flourishing olive tree on the other. Behind the kitchen is another bathroom and a bedroom with tall windows offering long views over the landscape to the north and a southern vista to Monument Hill.

Hidden down the lane this home feels private and secure but the central location means you can be at the heart of the old port city in minutes. Public transport is close by and you can walk or cycle downtown, over to George Street, or to the beach. There is scope to add your own touches here or simply enjoy the atmospheric and airy spaces of a home full of charm.

This sale and move must have been the most professional and smooth-flowing that we have experienced, having done 20 over the years.

The key to this feeling was Catherine, a charming and lovely young lady whose communication skills were without question the very best. Nothing was too much, and her concern for us and our needs was beyond reproach; we feel that she became one of our family, and we will miss her interaction and friendliness.

Catherine made every step of selling my property easy

Catherine and the team are very approachable and really make it feel like you’re on the same side! This family feel at White House have all the knowledge we needed regarding comparative sales, previously sold properties that were very similar to mine, and exact price guides. I can’t recommend Catherine enough, as she really does know the real estate market and made me feel very safe in the sale of the family home.

Thank you, Carlie!

From the moment I met Carlie, I knew she was the right agent for us. She’s professional, approachable, and truly knows the North Coogee market—because she lives there. She listened to our needs, kept us informed, and never pressured us. Her calm, honest approach made selling far less stressful. Her team was also fantastic. I’d recommend Carlie without hesitation—she turned a daunting process into a smooth and positive experience.

Highly recommended

Well handled from start to finish. Helped me with knowledgeable decisions to overcome a couple of small hurdles during the selling process. I had the option of using a previous agent, but I’m glad I switched and decided to trust Curtis. No doubt I made the right choice.
