5 Asten Road, City Beach WA 6015

This outstanding property, comprising 956m2 of elevated land with uninterrupted ocean views from Rottnest to Garden Island and inland views across the mature tree canopy of City Beach, is offered for sale for the first time in 50 years.

Located in the highly desirable Kapinara Precinct, the property is just 600m from the beach track, 200m from Kapinara Primary and 500m from the vibrant, social, heart of the suburb at Empire Village.

Custom built by renowned master builders of the era, Burke & Gaynor Homes, the substantial two storey residence is as comfortable and rewarding as ever. A Travertine tiled entry revealing a large, inviting lounge and long table dining room with plush carpets, soft sheers and a neutral colour palette.

Gleaming Bamboo floors flow through the heart of the home to a welcoming open kitchen, living and family dining area, set beneath a soaring, raked roofline.

The kitchen is contemporary with excellent cabinetry and modern appliances and connects well with the adjacent, air-conditioned, living area.

Double glass doors from the living area look out upon a timber lined, pitched roof alfresco and a totally private swimming pool, reminiscent of a tranquil, mountain spring with trickling waterfall and soft, green plantings.

The bore-reticulated rear grounds are predominantly level and feature a safe and enclosed grassed play area for children.

Upstairs, and the elevation of this prime landholding becomes spell-bindingly apparent. Dotted with ships at anchor and Norfolk Island Pines and softened by the canopy of mature trees in the foreground, there are miles of shimmering blue as far as the eye can see.

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy this first floor, each looking out upon a full width balcony. A second, east facing, balcony takes in scenic inland views from this remarkable hillside setting.

There are so many options here. Comfortable and welcoming from day one, there are several, simple, options for those who plan to extend or renovate. As a site for a new home of distinction, it is unparalleled. With an Iwanoff (Maxwell House) next door and other notable architectural works nearby seemingly calling on you to add your own grand design - for the next 50 years.
