Perfectly positioned within a small complex of only three residences, this terrific 230sqm, 3 bedroom 2 bathroom tri-level residence offers impressive townhouse-style living of the easy-care “lock-up-and-leave” variety – in a premium East Perth location that is within arm’s reach of river waters and lush local parklands.
At ground level, access into a large remote-controlled double lock-up garage via neighbouring Bunbury Crescent is super-handy, with the private laneway access complemented by a storeroom and an extra side storage area, within the garage walls.

A huge master-bedroom suite plays host to a double-door walk-in wardrobe, as well as double-door access out to a lovely north-facing shade-sail sitting deck that wraps around to a balcony courtyard with more turf – also accessible via the second bedroom.
