8/10 Marina Drive, Ascot WA 6104

Some homes simply offer a place to live. This one delivers a lifestyle that’s almost impossible to replicate.

Perched on the top floor of the tightly held Marina View Apartments, this exceptional penthouse-level residence overlooks the picturesque Ascot Waters Marina, delivering a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful waterfront living just minutes from the heart of Perth. Imagine starting your mornings with a coffee overlooking calm marina waters, watching boats gently drift by, or winding down in the evening with sunset reflections dancing across the water. Surrounded by lush parklands, walking trails and nature, it’s a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the city, yet remains less than 10 minutes from the CBD.

Built in 2003 within an exclusive boutique complex of just 15 residences, this impressive home offers an oversized 88sqm of internal living space, complemented by two private balconies that fully embrace the picturesque marina setting. With soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and the added privacy of no neighbours above, this is apartment living on a scale that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the home's fresh, modern presentation. Recently repainted throughout and finished with stylish timber flooring, the residence combines contemporary comfort with timeless design. White Venetian blinds, elegant matte-black fittings and fixtures, Modern LED downlighting, and carefully selected finishes create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.

The spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area forms the heart of the home. Bathed in natural light thanks to its large windows and desirable orientation, this inviting space flows seamlessly onto the main south-west facing balcony, where uninterrupted marina views become part of everyday life. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing after work, this is a space you'll find yourself drawn to time and time again. On occasion, you may even be treated to the sight of dolphins visiting the nearby waterways, further enhancing the unique appeal of this remarkable location.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for both functionality and style. Featuring quality stone benchtops, generous preparation space, an abundance of cabinetry storage, built-in pantry, large fridge recess with stainless steel fridge included, and quality OMEGA appliances including a dishwasher, electric oven, and four-burner gas cooktop, it offers everything needed for easy everyday living and entertaining.

The master suite is a true retreat. Generously proportioned and filled with natural light, it features a recently upgraded reverse-cycle split-system air conditioner, a large walk-in robe, and the luxury of direct access to its own private balcony. Wake up each morning to peaceful waterside views and fresh river breezes from the comfort of your own bedroom.

Complementing the master is a contemporary ensuite finished with stone vanity benchtops, a large shower, and excellent vanity storage, creating a practical and stylish space to begin and end each day.

The second bedroom is equally impressive in size and versatility. Complete with its own recently upgraded reverse-cycle split-system air conditioner and spacious built-in robe, it can comfortably accommodate guests, family members, or function as a spacious home office for those working remotely.

The main bathroom continues the home's modern aesthetic, complete with a shower-over-bath combination, stone vanity, generous storage, and a cleverly integrated European-style laundry with dryer, it balances practicality with contemporary style.

Completing the package is a secure undercover car bay located behind remote-controlled security gates, along with a conveniently positioned lockable storeroom directly behind the parking bay.

Location is where this property truly shines. Perfectly positioned within the prestigious Ascot Waters community, you'll enjoy one of Perth's most desirable lifestyle settings. Ascot Racecourse, Crown Perth, Optus Stadium, Elizabeth Quay, Maylands Peninsula Golf Course, and the Perth CBD are all within easy reach, while Perth Airport is only a short drive away for those who travel frequently.

Nature lovers will appreciate the endless riverside walking and cycling paths, nearby parklands, and peaceful foreshore reserves, while those seeking convenience will enjoy quick access to Belmont Forum, the vibrant Maylands café strip, major transport links, and a range of dining and entertainment options.

For boating enthusiasts, Ascot Waters Marina is right on your doorstep, providing the opportunity to explore a true waterside lifestyle. Marina berths may be available directly through the marina operator, subject to availability and associated costs.

Whether you're enjoying a leisurely walk along the marina, taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding waterways, or simply sitting back on your balcony watching the world drift by, this is a location that delivers a lifestyle few properties can match.

Invest or nest, the opportunity is equally compelling. The apartment will be sold with vacant possession at settlement, making it ideal for owner-occupiers looking to move straight in and enjoy the lifestyle on offer.
