You will be intrigued from the moment you set eyes on the copper facade of 68 Marine Terrace…….and captivated by a romantic story which tells of days gone by when Concetta would wait by the window for her beloved Antonino to return from his fishing voyages. The property still retains the spirit of their great love and is brought to life by a stunning sculpture in the entrance foyer, commissioned by a local artist and one that truly conveys this beautiful sentiment.
This three bedroom, 2 bathroom penthouse apartment displays stunning simplicity, esoteric angles and outstanding design features that capture the best of every season.
You will be impressed at how the living room allows you to invite the surrounding panorama in, with glass stacker sliding doors that recess into the wall cavity corner, so that they effectively ‘disappear’, providing unrestricted views to Fishing Boat Harbour and the Esplanade. This adds an extra dimension to the living, kitchen and dining areas and when open, is cleverly bound by protective glass panel balustrading.
An alfresco area leads off the living area and is positioned well to not only take advantage of the impressive views through a direct line of vision, but to be protected by a screen of two dimensional rectangles representing a school of Skippy fish in a pixelated representation, and all incorporated into a striking feature shield that traverses the living floors of the building. A functional office that adjoins this area can be closed off with an in-built concertina wall and transformed into a third bedroom. This space also has glass stacker sliding doors to take in the postcard scenery.
The master bedroom is an expansive piece de resistance. A central bathtub encased in marble makes a bold statement and is complete with an automatic privacy screen. A walk in shower and WC are screened with unobtrusive glass doors, the floor is marbled along with shelving, and pull out mirrored shelving discreetly stores your bathroom appliances and toiletries. A rear balcony has eclectic views across to the working port and the night lights of Fremantle Oval.
The second bedroom has views over the historic rooftops of Fremantle with a fantastic angle to the side wall here which arcs out again from the alfresco area to the living area.
The kitchen is graced by a large island bench crowned with exquisite “Statuario Venato” marble and is superbly appointed with a Miele dishwasher, Ilve 5 burner gas top, built in microwave and walk in pantry. From here, you can cast your eyes across the open dining room and look out once again to the outdoor vista. Every angle, every room and vantage point has been considered to maximise the best possible outlook.
If you love great design, stand-out materials and stylish living all combined with a Fremantle lifestyle, you may have just found what you are looking for.
