Not often does the development architect afford you a blank canvas from which to design your very own top-floor penthouse apartment in one of Perth’s finest new complexes where a rare combination of timeless architecture and stunning amenities are set amongst expansive parklands in the heart of the western suburbs.
Well, that is exactly what has happened here at “Eden West” in Floreat, where the current owner is himself an architect who, together with his wife, has developed his own brief in the form of a spectacular 3 bedroom 3 bathroom penthouse residence with an emphasis on quality and sophistication, as well as warm and friendly living spaces that really makes one feel “at home” no matter what the time of day or year. This unique pad has been a culmination of many years of experience in designing residential houses and apartments throughout the State as the sole principal of his own architectural practice.
Welcoming you inside after coming upstairs from the lifts in the building’s West Lobby is a huge open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with a versatile music space that harmoniously combine together through a palette of quality materials and finishes, alongside a separate study that truly is more like a home office with its “his and hers” built-in two-person desk/workstation and custom shelving. Brilliant northern light filters to each space through full-height floor-to-ceiling stacking doors and sidelights, with the living space seamlessly extending outdoors and to a large covered entertaining balcony that impressively overlooks the resort-style complex swimming pool down below and is an absolute delight to sit and read, or enjoy a fine wine late in the afternoon. This area is also generous enough to host a second lounge and dining-table setting.
Back inside, the immaculate attention-to-detail continues within the impeccable space-planned kitchen that allows for ease of use and where polished stone bench tops and splashbacks, soft-closing drawers, a double-width Clark sink and a “Zip” tap flawlessly meet a host of high-end Miele appliances – an integrated fridge/freezer combination, an integrated dishwasher, an oven, microwave/convection oven and Induction cooktop amongst them. A beautiful gas log fireplace makes a strong sculptural statement too, with a large television screen recessed above it in the living area.
Within one private wing of the apartment lies a sumptuous master-bedroom suite with balcony access, a stone make-up nook and king-sized proportions. There, a giant walk-in-wardrobe-come-dressing room (with its own custom shelving and jeweller cabinet) precedes a cavity slider and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with an extra-wide shower behind a frosted-glass door, another wide frosted-glass door leading into the separate toilet, a free-standing bathtub, ample storage options, a heated towel rack and twin stone vanities.
The other zone of the apartment plays host to a double cloak cupboard and two carpeted bedrooms – each with their very own ensuite bathrooms. The second bedroom has a walk-in robe, direct balcony access and a fully-tiled ensuite with a shower, toilet and stone vanity, whilst the third bedroom features mirrored built-in robes and a fully-tiled ensuite with a walk-in shower, toilet and stone vanity.
A well-appointed laundry has its own remote-controlled skylight, stone bench tops, internal hanging space, over-head and under-bench storage and a powder room. Down in the second basement, you will find your own secure double lock-up garage behind a panelled electric door, as well as a two-tiered storage area that offers far more space than most modern houses would allow and makes for a great exercise or hobby space, workshop, storage space or even a cellar.
In terms of five-star facilities and amenities, you will feel like you are in paradise here at “Eden”, where apartment living doesn’t mean compromising on lifestyle. There is a central courtyard and sunset terrace, whilst a theatre room can be hired for the entire family to enjoy a favourite film. A serene enclosed pond forms a focal point to the lavishly-appointed gymnasium, with a thoughtfully-designed yoga studio allowing residents to stretch and exercise – be it alone or with an instructor.
A games room, sauna, steam room, outdoor spa and a shower all complement the central lap pool. There are also toilets near here, as well as a book retreat and a private cellar where every room has its own wine storage area. There is also a poolside cabana with a barbecue, additional barbecue facilities and two combined lounge and dining spaces – one with a view out to the picturesque Perry Lakes Reserve across the road.
Live near the sea and amongst the trees here at “Eden”, also close to the renowned Bold Park Reserve, encompassing 430 hectares of unspoilt nature. Home to the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, the area is rich in history and provides a wealth of recreational opportunities – from walking to cycling and jogging. A scenic stroll will soon lead you to beautiful City Beach, with the Cottesloe and Wembley Golf Courses also nearby.
Grab a coffee at Cup & Co downstairs, or lunch at a multitude of local cafes and restaurants – as well as Floreat Forum Shopping Centre. Serve up an ace at one of the two nearby tennis clubs, with other wonderful community sporting clubs, excellent schools and plentiful public-transport options within arm’s reach.
Everything else aside, this is as exclusive and bespoke of a penthouse apartment as you will find. Sometimes, only the best will do.
