Gently elevated above Bird Park and nestled within the highly coveted Buckland Hill Estate, this uniquely located residence within a privately gated alcove celebrates the soothing connection of water and light via meandering river views and a timeless coastal aesthetic of whitewashed interiors and subtle flow between living zones, fostering the joyful evolution of family life.
An alluring poolside courtyard, concealed behind a grand opaque glass pivot door, is an inviting entry statement into this serene oasis.
Huge picture-frame windows and premium sliding doors feature prominently throughout the home's light-flooded interior, which honours seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living while maximizing breathtaking panoramas beyond.
Sublime interior touches of European oak floors against a palette of crisp Natural White influence the ground-floor's breezy mood, where a lofty double-height ceiling and poolside views offset the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining.
A stunning picture frame window anchors the designer kitchen, where a huge waterfall edge stone island bench and Franke double sink maximise the river landscape.
Luxury appointments of handleless gloss-white cabinetry, textured timber veneer highlights, alabaster stone benchtops, and quality European appliances extend to a handy scullery/bar nook equipped with a bar fridge, countertop, and ample storage for cocktail essentials before revealing more adjoining luxury spaces.
A stunning formal lounge and dining room envelop expansive riverfront views with dual sliding doors to a grand whitewashed veranda with a nautical mood.
Wire balustrade cabling and a vast deck clad in Fijian Mahogany timber frame an outdoor kitchen fitted with a Kleenmaid barbecue, wine fridge, and a pull-down dual spray mixer sink.
Two secondary bedrooms (separated by a family bathroom), a versatile office plus a sunny below-stairs study nook, and a highly considered laundry (with separation draws and a shirt rack), along with a peaceful Mediterranean-inspired internal courtyard, complete the ground level before luring the eye to a sleek and polished refit above.
Seeking an elevated parents' retreat, the owners enlisted celebrated design studio Jane Ledger Interiors to create an exquisite hotel-style sanctuary consisting of a sumptuous sitting room (laid in jarrah flooring and set against giant glass panels capturing interior views below) and a luxurious master suite, snagging first-class views.
Tranquil river activity, golden sunsets, and views to Stirling Bridge, Rocky Bay, Fremantle Port, and Carnac & Garden Islands are permanently admired from the room's balcony and spa-inspired ensuite.
A bespoke twin vanity flanked by solid timber cabinetry and a wall of Kit Kat tiles is surrounded by a dreamy aesthetic of natural stone-effect floor and wall tiles, a walk-in rain shower, and a free-standing egg tub.
Serene "Rottnest Island" hues wash over the master bedroom fitted with a custom-built walk-in robe, velvety cut-pile carpet, and motorized blackout blinds evoking sensual spa-retreat vibes.
A subtle step up from the parents' retreat interconnects to a teenager's library-den where two generous secondary bedrooms and a spacious bathroom meet in the northern wing of the home.
Tastefully curated gardens by Tim Davies Landscaping were completed in 2023, inclusive of a generous lower ground turfed enclosure and a gravel firepit platform.
