A sanctuary in the heart of South Fremantle
If you’re looking for something creative, comfortable and full of character, the award winning Silver Street Studio will not disappoint.
As a romantic retreat, the Silver Street Studio has an ambient charm which is hard to beat. With a fascinating history, this well-known icon weaves together many a story in South Fremantle. Originally built as artists studios, the Studio has now been thoughtfully converted into a creative 'home away from home’ - a special retreat and ideal romantic getaway.
This comfortable eclectic space is the perfect sanctuary in which to escape the pressures of contemporary living. Boasting lovely architectural spaces with materials gathered from historic sites of yesteryear, the space is an eclectic mix of beautiful artworks, rich oriental rugs, wonderful books and objets d’art.
Located just a stones throw from the harbour, South Beach, the yacht club and South Fremantle’s culinary hub, the Studio is quiet but within easy reach of the beach and all things Fremantle. From the moment you step foot on the property you’ll feel at home, with ivy trails over the high limestone walls which seclude a lush courtyard garden shaded by plane trees, a poinciana, an olive, a weeping mulberry, and grape vine in summer.
The eastern courtyard provides an ideal setting for enjoying a relaxed breakfast, alfresco lunch or an intimate BBQ dinner. Huge glass sliding doors connect this leafy outdoor garden to the main living area and former sculpture studio. The downstairs space is open plan and has a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable lounge.
The large upper studio level, originally used for producing ceramics, is now reached internally via an industrial steel staircase. The main bedroom area has a very comfortable queen size bed. This large upstairs room opens onto the north facing balcony where a Victorian four claw bath is plumbed in so you can enjoy a relaxing soak under the stars. The former kiln room, to the left, is a now a peaceful reading/meditation room – the perfect spot to think of new ideas and get creative before buckling down to work.
Surrounded by all Fremantle has to offer, from coffee shops, the beach and art, to restaurants, museums and entertainment, you’ll never want to leave!
