Elegant Riverside Living

Honouring iconic British Colonial style admired at the Singapore Raffles Hotel – along with subtle hints of ‘Hollywood Hills’ glamour - the owner of this enchanting double-storey residence was rewarded with a bespoke and supremely practical build by Perth architect Stephen Brett when it was unveiled 25 years ago.

Occupying a vast corner allotment clad in verdant tropical gardens and harmonic birdlife, this designer residence invites immediate admiration and oozes warmth and comfort from the outset.

Supremely located within walking distance to three excellent primary schools, the stunning river foreshore (just steps from Deep Water Point Reserve; playground; boat ramp; Dome café & public barbecues) and endless café, dining, retail, convenience stores and health & wellness options, this home evokes decades of joyous family memories and relaxed, easy living – which is destined to translate over to the new custodians of this truly idyllic riverside stunner.

Met with a bright and airy double-height entrance foyer, the continued theme of flawless planning and intentional design starts with a traditional jarrah staircase (fitted with classic stair runner inserts and rod details), which overlooks open-plan living and dining, and stunning garden views beyond.

Stone-hued ceramic floors tiles offset the natural synergy of wrap-around (limestone paved) verandas, provincial-style pillars and enchanting courtyards enjoyed from the open-plan living, kitchen & dining – all with black steel-framed casement windows and French door access.

Appointed with stone benchtops, a handy servery window to the courtyard, quality appliances (ILVE 6-burner gas stove & oven; curved glass canopy range hood & Miele dishwasher) and loads of soft-closing cabinetry, the kitchen is enveloped in natural light from double-aspect windows and connects to an inviting formal lounge and dining zone.
Fitted with luxurious moss-hued carpets, generous windows and a gas fireplace, this cozy space can be closed off from the rest of the home or left open to complement the seamless ground floor layout.

Upstairs, a private master wing can be discreetly concealed by closing double doors, creating a hotel suite mood, with a luxurious double vanity bathroom (with tub) and stone benchtops (& heated ceiling lamps), along with a walk-in-robe and ethereal natural light.
The secondary bedrooms include built-in-robes and share a bathroom, also with a tub & heated ceiling lamps.

Completing the home is a ground floor garden-view study, with independent door access, a spacious laundry with external pathway (& drying court) access, a generous, automatic double garage with storage, and abundant off-street, brick paved parking.
