11 Little Howard Street, Fremantle WA 6160

Hidden down a quiet, one-way street, steps away from Wray Avenue’s vibrant precinct, layers of history have been creatively renewed in true Freo style. What was once a traditional bakehouse built c.1896, has evolved into a home filled with warmth and personality, and in such a walkable location close to everything: boutique shops, fine eateries, bars, butchers, bakeries, delicatessens, grocers – and even Fremantle Primary, where you can wave the kids off to school at the end of the street.

Beyond ornate iron gates, with secure parking for multiple vehicles on the driveway, the old bakehouse nods to its storied past. Above the veranda is an entrance to the master domain, before the north-facing courtyard unfolds to a haven of leafy seclusion: birdsong, stone walls, recycled brick paving, potted plants galore, and lovely filtered sunlight through the vine-covered pergola.

Inside, a wide pivot timber door opens up to intriguing spaces: on the right is a lofty open-plan layout and upstairs bedroom zone, while on the left, is a magnificent master suite built into the old bakery’s walls with sky-lit, exposed timber-trusses that create a dramatic sense of space. There’s also an ensuite, walk-in robe, and lounge or study nook.

The polished concrete entranceway transitions the old with the new, with floods of natural light gracing the two-storey extension and delightful indoor-outdoor flow to the Mediterranean-inspired courtyards wrapping the exterior. Hammered-copper style floors define the dining from the living and kitchen, the latter in cool tones of black, timber and stainless steel, and well-appointed with an integrated Miele dishwasher and Fisher & Paykel oven with gas stovetop. The laundry features a separate WC with exterior access to another leafy courtyard draped in jasmine bower vines, and there’s also an outdoor shower, lockable storeroom, and rear laneway access (with keypad entry).

Upstairs there’s even more to discover. A study nook is discreetly tucked away, perfect for those who work from home, alongside a bathroom in earthy tones, second living (or creative’s workspace) and two more bedrooms – one with balcony access, and the other with air-conditioning. There’s a wonderful treehouse feel to this level, surrounded by rustic timber finishes, natural light and greenery at every turn.

With so much character, warmth and history within these walls – not to mention the best walkability to just about anything from this secluded cityside spot – this is as Freo as it gets.

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.
