At the river end of Petra Street, presiding over manicured greenery reminiscent of French parterre gardens – this is a home where elegance, luxury and smart practicality combine in exquisite form. Flowing east-west across three levels to resort-style living wrapped around a sparkling pool, there’s the option of multi-generational ease, in a location just as good: walk to the river, enjoy a game of tennis or grab a sunset drink from any nearby yacht club, pub or waterfront restaurant, with Freo minutes away.
Beyond the gated gardens, step inside to an atmosphere of airy flow, marked by a magnificent sun-soaked void at its heart. Two front rooms can be configured as you like, study or sitting room, one extending outdoors to a sunrise nook. A ground-floor master suite with ensuite is ideal for guests, also with garden access, complemented by two king-sized bedrooms with a bathroom – easily accessed from the back garden to rinse off after a swim.
To the rear, open-plan living merges with the outdoors: watch the kids splash in the pool from the alfresco while firing up the barbecue, or retreat to the patio among the roses and magnolia-lined lawn. The kitchen is finely appointed with a full suite of Miele appliances, including a Zip Tap for instant hot, cold and sparkling, with a big island breakfast bar for the morning rush to school or work. Nearby is the laundry with exterior access to a drying line.
Flooded with natural light, upstairs is all about the outlooks of river, rooftops and treetops. Adaptable to multi-generational living, there’s a second full kitchen off the living and dining, with an electric fireplace built into the stone feature wall. A balcony to the east overlooks the gardens in bloom below, while to the west, another balcony is accessed from a bedroom, nursery or hobby room, as well as the master suite, complete with walk-in robe, dual-vanity spa ensuite and laundry chute.
Finishing it off, below to the basement is an unexpected surprise – man cave, cellar or teenagers’ retreat – with a kitchenette and internal access to the double lock-up garage.
All the smart practicalities are here too: ducted heating/cooling, ceiling fans, multiple tv points/data points/power points, solar hot water, ducted vacuum system, security alarm, intercom, motorised alfresco blinds, integrated control of lighting and heated towel rails & fans, and an underground 2,500-litre water tank.
It’s remarkable what happens when good design meets modern comforts, set within a garden setting just a stroll from the river – 171 Petra Street is a testament to all that and more.
