THE ULTIMATE PENTHOUSE WITH PANORAMIC RIVER VIEWS
Spend your days on the water, tie your boat to the private jetty and be home in moments, mere metres away. Here you will live the West Australian lifestyle dream in the penthouse of North Fremantle's premier riverfront complex, The Moorings, enjoying world class water views and offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the finest apartments in the Western Suburbs.
Originally sold off the plan and held by its owners since, this is the first time this three bedroom, three bathroom penthouse has come onto the market. Built amidst waterfront parklands on highly desirable Corkhill Street, your days can be spent walking or cycling along the riverfront trail at your doorstep or enjoying the private facilities with tennis court, lap pool and alfresco entertaining area, all set amidst lushly landscaped grounds with generous guest parking.
Take the lift to the private lobby and step into a home so beautiful it will take your breath away, with capacious spaces spread over 540sqm, three metre high ceilings and views at every turn. Designed to be the most high-end home of the three buildings in The Moorings, Stage 1 features luxury interiors designed by Judith Barrett-Lennard, with this penthouse the pinnacle. A warm, welcoming material palette of timber parquetry and stone inlay floors, marble, panelled doors and stone architraves will bring to mind the grandeur of New York apartments. Yet the lifestyle, ambience and spectacular waterfront views here are quintessentially contemporary West Australian: airy, filled with natural light, and made for our climate and love of indoor-outdoor living. This is Perth coastal apartment living at its finest.
Watch the dolphins swim by on the sparkling river or head down to the jetty to take your boat out for dinner on the river. The penthouse has exclusive leasing entitlement over a 20m boat pen located directly in front of the apartment.
The main living areas and main suite can be opened up to the huge 110sqm balcony with uninterrupted, 360 degree Swan River views. Stage 1's premier position in the compound means the penthouse boasts an unrivalled orientation: one can enjoy protection from harsher winds, while still receiving gentle cooling breezes off the river on the hottest days.
Overlooking the open-plan dining and living, the stunning kitchen will thrill those who love to cook and entertain. Wide expanses of Corian benchtops, solid timber cabinetry, integrated Miele dishwasher, six burner Smeg range and Qasair rangehood. There is a butler's pantry with Miele appliances, a 500 bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and kitchen office desk. A huge formal living room can be opened up to the main open-plan living and dining or closed off for privacy with cavity sliding doors; a perfect spot for relaxing by the marble fireplace in winter while enjoying the views.
Wake to views of the river from bed every day in the main suite with stunning dressing room. Nothing has been overlooked, from the bespoke cabinetry to the intricate natural stone tiling in the ensuite. The ensuite has a twin vanity, secondary vanity, spacious shower and freestanding bath on a plinth for relaxing while enjoying the scenic view. Opposite is the magnificent library-like study. Fitted out with bespoke timber, marble cabinetry and carpet that has been imported from Holland, identical to those used in the Palace of Queen Maxima of the Netherlands . This perfectly private retreat has its own balcony that overlooks the tennis court and treed neighbourhood beyond.
There is ideal separation and privacy between the two bedroom zones. A gallery leads to the second bedroom wing, where two light-filled, queen-sized bedroom suites have their own stunning, fully tiled ensuites, one with a spa bath. Both bedrooms have water views from the bed, while one has a built-in desk. With these bedroom suites adjoining their own large living room, this layout is ideal for a family, or those who have grandchildren or guests to stay. This third living space has a private balcony overlooking the tennis court, built-in desk and wall of cabinetry. There is impressive storage throughout the penthouse, and a storeroom.
There is a spacious laundry with abundant storage and a stunning guest powder room finished in Carrera marble, with toilet and bidet. Even the undercroft level has been finished to a high standard, and looks more like a set from a James Bond movie than basement garaging. The penthouse has a lockable three car garage and storeroom.
Secluded and quiet Corkhill Street is still just moments to everything North Fremantle offers - the cafes and restaurants of Queen Victoria Street, beachside dining at Leighton, parklands and playgrounds, amenities and entertainment. In a building of only 13 residences, this is a very private, secure home in a friendly, quiet community with no maintenance and all the lifestyle benefits of a premier waterfront locale. Ideally suited to a local family wanting to downsize while staying by the coast, executive couples who love to entertain, families with older children, or anyone searching for the perfect world class city base.
This is the sort of dream home that rarely comes onto the market. Take your chance to make it yours.
