6 Kellow Pl, Fremantle WA 6160

In a cul-de-sac up on the ridge, a brick and iron townhouse over three levels offers quiet seclusion and sweeping ocean views. The top-level master suite is your own eagle's nest, looking out to Rottnest, Carnac and Garden Islands, and across to the gantries of the port. Two living areas, two courtyards, a workshop and a study are among the features of this flexible, solar-powered home. The green open space of Stevens Reserve is steps away, and you'll love the cityside location to make the most of the relaxed Fremantle lifestyle, with restaurants, shopping, schools and the beach all nearby.

Downstairs, a slate-floored living area welcomes the light through timber-framed windows, opening to a walled northern courtyard lined with spectacular staghorn ferns. Also on this level is a bathroom, laundry and two bedrooms. One has its own entry to the western courtyard garden, which offers independent access through a front gate behind a wide verge on Swanbourne Street. On the second level, a lovely jarrah-floored and air-conditioned open-plan living and dining area has a solid timber kitchen, outdoor flow to the deck, and your first glimpses of ocean and horizon. Up another jarrah stair, the elevated location really delivers, with an ocean and island panorama from the air-conditioned master suite, which features a Velux skylight, en-suite bathroom, extensive walk-in robe and an adjoining office space.

The vehicle entry off Kellow Place has paved parking for two cars, as well as a single garage with workshop, mezzanine storage, plumbing and power. It's an ideal space for the handyman or hobbyist, with room for the campervan or trailer. The location, views, and flexible layout make this a smart investment as well as a great place to live, with scope to update, add value, and really make it your own.
