LANDMARK LEGACY ESTATE
Live in one of the most iconic homes in Australia with this grand, luxurious waterfront Mosman Park estate - a sprawling landmark property on more than 7000sqm of prime riverfront land with an indoor swimming pool pavilion, full-size tennis court, guest house, gate house, boathouse and direct private access to the jetty.
If you have sailed down the Swan River, you will have noticed this stately home standing tall against the Mosman Park cliff front. Commanding an extraordinary position in Perth's most prestigious waterfront enclave, this is a timeless residence of rare distinction; an iconic estate where architectural grandeur, exquisite craftsmanship and resort-style living converge to create a dream family home. Quiet yet minutes to Perth's best beaches, finest schools, dining and entertaining options and sporting establishments, this incredible location is one of the best in WA.
With multiple dwellings spread over this huge 7565sqm, the words 'family compound' may come to mind. As well as the palatial three-storey main house, the home offers separate living quarters in the form of a separate, spacious gate house with bedroom, bathroom and media room, and a guest house. With more than 2000sqm of internal and external living space across the residences, there is wonderful versatility for live-in help, extended family members or young adult children studying or working.
Private, leafy Saunders Street is one of Perth's best, culminating in a cul-de-sac. Secure and private, the home is not visible from the street, adding to its feeling of retreat. A gracious tree-lined drive sweeps past the spacious gate house with spectacular river views and alfresco area and to the grand entrance of the main house.
Double doors reveal the enchanting entry foyer, a dramatic three-storey masterpiece where your eye is drawn up to the glass domed ceiling, edged with intricately hand-painted acanthus leaves. A sweeping marble and wrought iron staircase winds down the three storeys past the glass lift while the gentle trickling of a koi pond below completes the calming ambience.
The interiors are of the highest calibre. Timeless, irreplaceable natural materials and a level of craftsmanship rarely seen encompass gleaming marble to the floors and luxurious bathrooms. Solid oak doors are inset with intricate timber inlays while walls of glazing maximise the natural light and breathtaking river, bushland and cliff face views. Burl wood features through the bespoke joinery and cabinetry, even embedded in the ornate skirtings and door handles.
The home unfolds before you with a series of graceful formal and informal living spaces designed for grand entertaining and refined everyday living. While opulent and elegant, there is an inherent warm and welcoming feel that truly makes this a family home for making memories with family and friends.
The incredible lowest floor is an entertainer's heaven and has hosted many a gathering, from children's parties and sleepovers to long Christmas lunches and formal cocktail events.
A private indoor swimming pool pavilion with trompe l'oeil ceiling evokes the ambience of a luxury hotel. Unwind in the sparkling pool beset with iridescent glass mosaic tiles or relax in the spa at the end of a long day taking in the river views. Even the littlest family members are catered for with a shallow splash pool.
Play pool in the light-filled entertaining room, cook in the alfresco kitchen or curl up for a movie night in the media room, a private cinema that will thrill young and old with tiered seating, trompe l'oiel ceiling, bar and cosy, evocative mood.
