Originally completed as part of the Knutsford development, the design aspiration was to create a new generation urban condition that would be distinctly Fremantle, celebrating the history and culture of this historic port city. With an architectural language that is simple and direct, the built form achieves an urban edge and combines the use of bricks, concrete and metal to deliver a contemporary aesthetic.

Taking out two Australian Institute of Architects awards, the Knutsford won the national Frederick Romberg Award for Residential Architecture (Multiple Housing) and the The Harold Krantz Award for Residential Architecture for the WA Chapter.

With its North Western orientation, 32 Chalmers captures an abundance of natural light and a wonderful feel throughout. Concrete ceilings, timber floors, brick walls and steel work to create an industrial yet elevated design.

Established native gardens and landscaping surround the residence, providing easy care and water-wise plants and an outdoor aesthetic that is fitting of its Fremantle context. A large undercover alfresco area with a built-in shade screen creates an outdoor “room” and extends the living area to the outdoors.

With its monochromatic design, the kitchen features Bosch appliances, including a gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher. A large island provides substantial space to prepare meals and a nook for stools.

The open plan living and dining area provides increased scale and presence, with its high ceilings and a void which creates further volume. Feature pendant lights provide ambient lighting. A powder room with a 3rd toilet provides added convenience to the functionality of the ground floor.

Upstairs you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, including the main bedroom with adjoining ensuite. The ensuite provides a sense of drama, with its dark tiles and overhead skylight connecting you to the light above. The main bathroom continues the interior theme and benefits from a separate shower and an extra large Japanese bath.

With a heritage founded with design integrity and quality construction, the sale of 32 Chalmers presents an opportunity to purchase an established architectural home in a sought after pocket of Fremantle.

We anticipate strong interest and encourage buyers to act promptly.
