Tucked away in one of Salter Point's most sought-after positions, 144 River Way is a rare opportunity to secure a peaceful riverside lifestyle just 10 minutes from the CBD. Hugged by the Canning River and surrounded by established greenery, Salter Point has a distinctly country-like feel, yet everything you need is remarkably close at hand. Aquinas College, Penrhos College and Curtin University are all within easy reach, while the freeway, shopping and city are just moments away.
Elevated to capture uninterrupted 180-degree river views, the home enjoys a spectacular outlook that becomes part of everyday life. From the living areas and sun-drenched balcony, the river stretches across the horizon, with black swans, passing kayaks and changing skies providing an ever-present backdrop.
For those with vision, the possibilities are equally compelling. Move in and enjoy the home as it is, renovate and make it your own, or hold and develop when the time is right. It is an opportunity that will appeal to families wanting space and schools close by, downsizers seeking peace and privacy, or those looking to secure a remarkable location now while planning their forever home for the future. The renders shown in the photographs illustrate one exciting possibility for the site and have been created by Patrick Keane, an international architect based in Thailand.
The existing 1960s character residence has beautiful bones and an appealing sense of warmth and space. Rich jarrah floorboards, original picture rails and archways reflect its era, while timber-trimmed sliding doors connect the living, dining and kitchen areas to the expansive river outlook. A generous balcony extends from the main living space, creating a natural place for morning coffee, afternoon entertaining or quiet evenings overlooking the water.
The main bedroom enjoys its own balcony access and river views, while two further bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests or working from home, with one currently arranged as a study. Downstairs, a separate workshop with its own laundry and WC adds valuable versatility, whether used for hobbies, storage or as an additional private space.
Outside, a double carport, generous paved courtyard and established gardens provide plenty of room to entertain and unwind. Fruit trees and established vegetable beds add to the home's relaxed, almost rural character and offer a wonderful starting point for anyone who enjoys growing their own.
Just moments from Salter Point Reserve and the river foreshore, the lifestyle here is one of walking, cycling, kayaking and enjoying the outdoors, while still being close enough to retreat into the city whenever you choose.
Offering three bedrooms, one bathroom, sweeping river views, large balconies, a separate workshop, double carport and a land holding of nearly 600sqm, this is a property with genuine flexibility and long-term potential.
Some locations are difficult to recreate. The combination of elevation, uninterrupted river views, tranquility and proximity to the city makes this one of them. Whether you choose to move in, renovate, rent while you plan, or ultimately create something entirely new, 144 River Way offers the rare opportunity to secure the location first and decide what comes next.
