Directly opposite the Attadale foreshore, this architecturally designed residence offers a rare combination of sculptural design, generous proportions and uninterrupted riverfront outlook. With Swan River parklands stretching across the road and the Perth skyline beyond, the home enjoys a sense of openness and calm rarely found in modern riverfront homes.
Designed by Shayne Le Roy and recognised in the 2013 Perth Housing Awards, the residence reflects a thoughtful balance of form, light and spatial flow. A bold asymmetrical façade, deep cantilevered rooflines and layered landscaping create a striking architectural presence, while a statement oversized solid timber pivot entry door, uniquely offset, forms a gallery-like entrance that immediately sets the tone.
Inside, marble flooring, Toodyay stone feature walls and a sculptural French oak floating staircase define the material palette. The stone blade wall subtly separates living zones, creating a layout that balances entertaining, family living and private retreat areas. The lower level includes an entertaining lounge with built-in bar opening toward the pool, a dedicated theatre room, and a separate accommodation wing with bedrooms each enjoying their own ensuite , ideal for guests, teenagers or multi-generational living.
At the centre of the home, a tranquil internal courtyard introduces greenery, natural light and a calming water feature. Upstairs, full-height glazing connects the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area to a full-width balcony terrace, capturing sweeping foreshore views and the distant Perth skyline. The kitchen features integrated Miele appliances, Caesarstone island, honed marble splashback and a generous walk-in pantry, while the adjoining living area is anchored by a floating gas fireplace. The main suite enjoys river views, walk-in dressing room and marble ensuite, complemented by a spacious executive study.
What truly sets this home apart from other riverfront residences is the way it balances architectural presence with a sense of calm. Beyond the scale and luxury, the home has been thoughtfully designed to create moments of quiet retreat throughout.
Water becomes a recurring theme , from the tranquil internal courtyard to the sculptural pond and landscaped rear garden. These elements soften the architecture and introduce a peaceful rhythm to daily living. Sunlight filters through greenery, gentle reflections move across stone surfaces, and the sound of water adds a calming backdrop rarely experienced in homes of this scale.
The front of the home opens to sweeping river views, perfect for entertaining, hosting friends, or enjoying lively gatherings against the backdrop of the Swan River. Yet, equally compelling is the privacy offered at the rear , a secluded garden sanctuary where the atmosphere shifts to something more intimate and restorative.
Here, mornings can begin quietly with yoga beside the water feature, a coffee surrounded by greenery, or simply sitting with a book as natural light moves through the space. In the afternoon, the courtyard and garden offer a peaceful retreat away from the world, creating a home that supports both vibrant entertaining and calm, reflective living.
