This incredibly spacious 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 3 car garage, 24th floor penthouse apartment in the beating heart of Perth's burgeoning State Buildings precinct offers an unparalleled inner city lifestyle. The panoramic views of the river, parks and city, are second to none and are protected by the heritage listed low rise buildings of the Perth Concert Hall, the Supreme Court and the spectacular gardens of Government House.
This penthouse apartment has been spectacularly rebuilt, refreshed and modernised in every way. It now presents "as new", with a style and finishes throughout that are simply sublime.
There is absolute consistency and cohesion, throughout. From the living, dining, lounge, and open-plan gourmet kitchen, through to every bedroom and bathroom. Even the powder room and laundry have been meticulously designed and finished to the highest standards. The interior architecture utilises vertical elements such as textured cabinetry and reeded glass, drawing the eye firstly to the inspiring views, then up towards the soaring ceilings and across to the multiple statement lighting on display. This gives further depth and ambience to the already immense space on offer. The total strata area is an incredible 359sqm. The internal living is 234sqm, complimented by 80sqm of balconies. The main balcony faces the river and the secondary balcony faces north, off two of the secondary bedrooms. The garaging is 45sqm and easily accommodates 3 cars in its own secure doored garage within the already secure undercroft parking garage.
The configuration of the apartment offers versatility as well as making the most of the views north and south, over river, parks and city. From entry, it's the open plan living, dining and kitchen areas that create an undeniable WOW factor, sure to impress any visitors or guests when they walk into this home. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass opens to a 65sqm balcony, from which you and your guests can appreciate twinkling city lights, King's Park, the broad sweep of the Swan River as far south as the eye can see, and east towards Claisebrook and further afield. The lush green expanse of Government Houses' gardens before you, framing the rest of the view, bring in a unique element that you won't find anywhere else.
The heart of the home is a bespoke gourmet kitchen, with a suite of Miele and Bosch appliances and a broad stone island centred by a rectangular marble plinth in Rosso Trentino, specially imported from Italy to be a centrepiece. Its pale red, brown, burgundy, black, white, and grey hues are subtly repeated elsewhere, creating a seamless connection throughout. A stand-out is a contemporary sculptural pendant above the dining area, created specifically for that space and again embracing the concept of curves-meets-linear details.
The main bedroom suite is more than king-sized and encompasses an extensive walk-in dressing room, a huge ensuite with a freestanding tub and curved double shower with rain head, smart W.C., and heated towel rail. In a prime corner position within the apartment, on the riverside, and opening onto the front balcony, the views from this bedroom, day and night, are mesmerising.
A junior suite boasts a walk-through robe and large ensuite, while bedrooms three and four enjoy built-in robes and their own ensuite bathrooms. Two of the minor bedrooms have direct access to the north-facing balcony and views up the river. across to the Perth Hills and Optus Stadium. Bedroom four is a versatile space and could serve as a TV room or study. It is currently used as a quiet retreat and reading room. It all comes down to your requirements and how you choose to live.
Tucked perfectly into the west side of the apartment is a media hub/sitting room, where textured cabinetry houses the TV and other electronics, hidden away when not in use.
Comfort and practicality reign supreme, with ducted reverse cycle AC, zoned and remote controlled, Wilton carpet or superior stone flooring, a wine room/butler's pantry, laundry room, substantial storage throughout, including a large linen and extra deep utility storage.
