Gentle undulation, guaranteed privacy and magnificent views to the river and city, make Hopetoun Street one of the most sought-after addresses in South Perth. Set just one street back from Mill Point Road, the north-facing location is peacefully quiet with nothing more than subtle birdsong to contend with on a daily basis.
This incredibly warm and practical home is generously built over three levels - each dedicated to specific living zones - and each with spectacular views of the river and city skyline...even the garage enjoys million-dollar vistas!
With a games room, bar, alfresco and salt-water pool on the ground floor, open-plan kitchen dining and living on the first floor and bedrooms, separated by a mezzanine level and a lounge area on the second floor, the owners have ensured that every corner of this six-bedroom, four-bathroom property has been maximised to its full potential over the past 15 years.
An opulent double-door entrance statement, set with glossy porcelain tiles and dramatic coffered ceilings leads to the heart of the home; a light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen.
Laid with warm timber boards, the living area, with protected balcony access and prime views over St James Mitchell Park, the Swan River, Kings Park and the city beyond (including the Optus Stadium and Elizabeth Quay), can accommodate an additional "formal" dining ensemble and with the stylish cook's kitchen sharing the floor, makes this area an entertainer's dream.
Generous stone benchtops, along with masses of country-kitchen style drawers and cupboards, the kitchen includes an illuminated walk-in pantry, ILVE twin oven, rotisserie and five-burner stove top along with Miele dishwasher.
Also on this floor is a large office (again, with those magical views!) and a private guest room with stunning coffered ceilings, built-in-robes and access to a double vanity bathroom with bath, heated lighting and separate toilet.
Plush carpeting follows to the second-floor's bedroom-zone which includes an extra-large walk-in linen press to accommodate an entire family's worth of bedding and towels.
The palatial master suite, with walk-in-robe, double vanity ensuite, ceiling-to-floor tiles, large spa bath and heated lighting shares a balcony with an equally palatial adjoining bedroom.
For added privacy, two additional bedrooms are located in the southern wing via a mezzanine level (with balconette access) which serves as the perfect library or sitting/TV room.
But ----- explore this room a little further, and a discreet door leads to a top floor roof deck where the views are beyond breathtaking.
The perfect retreat to enjoy the last rays of the winter sun (and of course, box-seat views of the Lotterywest Sky Works), the deck affords guaranteed privacy and vistas that well-exceed neighbouring rooftops.
Accommodating around 45 people with ease, the casually chic ground level games room combined with bar and access to a sun-filled alfresco and built-in six-burner barbecue is a private oasis.
A large laundry with an additional toilet, shower and vanity, serves as a convenient guest bathroom/powder room to the sixth ground floor bedroom. Simply put, this home is family-living at its best with the added advantage of enjoying one of the best riverside locations in Perth.
