Exclusively offered for the first time in over 40 years, 3 Henry Street presents a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Fremantle's rich and layered history. Located in the heart of the iconic West End, this landmark property forms part of the renowned Quartermaine Building - a striking heritage structure originally commissioned by Balchin in 1903, after acquiring the site from solicitor Matthew Moss in 1899 for £1,100.
Over the decades, the Quartermaine Building has been home to a vibrant and diverse range of occupants, from wine merchants and social workers to travel agents and the much-loved Spare Parts Puppet Theatre. Today, 3 Henry Street stands as a remarkable example of adaptive reuse, blending historic character with extraordinary modern potential.
Occupying the right-hand side of the building and a central right-of-way, this two-level city centre building features grand heighted ceilings, original limestone and brickwork, and a façade that stands proudly among Fremantle's most iconic heritage streetscapes.
Inside, the layout is rich in opportunity, boasting wide hallways, a dramatic grand staircase, a soaring original archway, and a rare vault - all awaiting thoughtful restoration. With a commercial space on the ground floor and a residence above, the property can be reimagined as a luxurious three plus-bedroom, two-bathroom home, a dynamic live/work residence, or a unique business premises.
A covered stairwell skylight hints at the potential for a light-filled transformation, while the property's architectural detailing and grand proportions provide an inspiring canvas for a new chapter.
