135 South Terrace, Fremantle WA 6160

A stone and iron home, one of a trio of terrace houses, was built in 1901 a block away from the Fishing Boat Harbour. It still contributes to the classic streetscape today, but with a cool exterior update in white, charcoal and black, plus an open-plan renovation and a chic studio bedroom at the end of the garden. Enjoy the neighbourly community atmosphere, walk to shopping and cafes in Wray Avenue or South Freo, and hit the cycle path to make the most of summer at the beach.

Behind a deep grey wall, the bright white exterior is framed by the black-painted timbers of the bullnose veranda. Enter to the arched hallway, where the original jarrah floors flow to two air-conditioned bedrooms. Both have recessed lighting, feature fireplaces, built-in storage and plantation shutters.

A door at the end of the hallway separates the sleeping spaces from the renovated open-plan, and French doors from the dining space lead to side access and a paved courtyard. The long white kitchen features lots of touch-opening cabinetry, five-burner range and big island bench. Simple modern design continues in the bathroom, with bath and subway tiling. The open-plan all looks out to the rear garden from the living space, where concrete-style tiling and a granite internal wall add texture.

Timber doors stack open to the deck, and the angled outdoor ceiling was inspired by yacht-like shapes to reflect the maritime environment. It’s a pretty garden, with water feature, lemon tree and a shady paperbark. The studio bedroom up the back has its own veranda to sit and enjoy all of that, and inside it is quiet and serene, with a sharply designed en-suite bathroom.

Nearby, a garden gate leads to a vast paved area held in common by the three terraces. It offers your own parking bay, plus vehicle access to your private garage. There’s more storage inside the home, with an attic area accessed by a drop-down ladder and large enough to use as an office space.

Historic atmosphere, an individual renovation with natural flair, and that secluded studio bedroom in the garden all make this one to see – and to make your own, in a great location near the South Freo border.

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.
