A combination of shady treed seclusion and long open vistas creates a very special atmosphere in this brick and iron family home a stroll away from the river. Separate self-contained studio accommodation, plus a vast undercroft for offices, gym, games room or teen retreat make it all wonderfully flexible, and easy to configure to suit your family perfectly. A resort-size pool is totally inviting for summer relaxation and entertaining, and a wrap-around upper deck offers views across to the green spaces of Mosman Park golf course.
It’s a natural and private environment, with a treehouse feeling of leafy surrounds and birdsong. The Blackwall Reach precinct is one of Perth’s premier neighbourhoods, with its prestigious streets curving down to the river.
A bright red louvred door leads to the blackbutt-floored lobby, flowing through to the southern courtyard and walled gardens, looking to magnificent gums and grass trees on a bush slope beyond. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining is elevated, opening to a deck wrapping to the north and west. Glimpse the river nearby, enjoy the long view over the landscape and look down to the vast saltwater pool below.
The bedroom wing features the family bathroom with corner bath, and three bedrooms including the master suite, with a large walk-in-robe and en-suite with frameless glass shower and double vanity. Downstairs is a vast space with exterior access: work from home, incorporate a gym or games room, or let the teenagers take over. There is a separate storeroom in the space, and there is also a fitted workshop off the driveway.
Next to the oversized double garage, a gate with coded entry leads through to the air-conditioned studio apartment, with kitchen and spacious bathroom, and sliding doors opening to the courtyard. It’s ideal for extended family, or to generate income. That flexibility is a real feature of this wonderful home, with different zones indoors and out for everyone to have their space.
The long treed driveway offers peace and seclusion, as well as plenty of room for additional vehicles, boat, trailer, or kayaks to make the most of the riverside life. Stroll to the water in just a few minutes, and enjoy beautiful walks along Blackwall Reach and around to Bicton Baths or Point Walter.
