LUXURY RIVERSIDE LIVING WITH PANORAMIC WATER VIEWS
With sublime panoramic river views, impeccable interiors and inimitable design, this wonderfully tranquil waterfront residence has been curated without compromise to deliver the ultimate in contemporary luxury living. Resort style luxury and elegance are perfectly merged, bringing together the very best in understated style. Privately set behind intercom security gates and a long, meandering driveway featuring landscaped gardens and a convenient car turntable, this majestically elevated four bedroom, four bathroom home's design is as brave as it is beautiful.
Carved into the limestone cliffs of Blackwall Reach overlooking the glistening Swan River, it's the tangible feeling of calm that defines this beautiful Bicton home. Revelling in its glorious riverfront setting, the views of nature across the home's three meticulously designed levels are a joy to behold. A restrained interior palette of crisp white, warm European oak and beautiful marble ensures the transfixing water views consistently take centre stage.
An elegant home office welcomes, featuring custom joinery and access to an architecturally striking open air courtyard encircled by the magnificent limestone cliffs. Continue on to a luminous, airy, living space (the perfect yoga room or teenager's retreat) which opens out to the sparkling infinity pool delivering spectacular river views, further enhancing the feeling of being at one with the landscape. A designer laundry, powder room and impressive wine cellar round out the first floor.
Upstairs is the family's private domain with three large bedrooms, each with luxuriously appointed ensuites and walk-in robes.
Enjoy breathtaking river views and access to the covered outdoor deck offering magical Swan River vistas. Protected from southerly winds and oriented perfectly to capture the northern sunshine, this dreamy all-white outdoor space is designed for easy living and entertaining with relaxed lounge and dining zones under fans and dimmable lights.
The cherry on top, however, is the home's uppermost level which embraces the natural surrounds wholeheartedly. Up here, another sprawling deck designed for full-scale entertaining provides unimpeded jaw-dropping river views sweeping right around from Fremantle to Freshwater Bay, Claremont, and beyond. A beautiful marble topped Exuro gas fireplace provides warmth and ambience during the cooler months but the masterstroke is the inclusion of floor-to-ceiling weatherproof electric screens to make use of according to the season.
Back inside, the remainder of the top level is given over to the kitchen and casual living/dining. Marble steals the scene in a kitchen that is luxuriously appointed, highly functional and an entertainer's delight with its generously sized central island bench.
An integrated fridge/freezer is in keeping with the home's behind-closed-doors, minimalist vibe and the hidden scullery provides the perfect support act and features lashings of matching marble.
Throughout the lounge and dining areas, extensive glazing optimises the beautiful water vistas and bathes the home in rays of sunshine. The lounge, a particularly dreamy space, features a statement Escea freestanding gas fireplace while banks of full-height windows allow the river views to shine. Bespoke built-in seating for eight people in the dining room makes entertaining a breeze while the large sliding glass doors to multiple alfresco areas juxtapose serene river views on one side with dramatic vistas of rugged cliffs and the valley on the other.
The master suite, also on the top floor, captures more river views and enjoys private access to the waterfront deck. The walk in robe is nothing short of fabulous and the ensuite, complete with a sumptuous freestanding tub framed by a picture window, evokes luxury hotel vibes. Inclusion of marble surfaces everywhere, inside and out, turns up the luxe while simultaneously managing to keep the interior palette organic and in tune with the landscape beyond.
With every level serviced by a lift to future proof the retirement years, this immaculate home is nothing short of impressive.
