177 Wellington Street, Mosman Park
With a price tag north of $30 million, this world-class home ranks among Perth’s most exclusive and valuable waterfront addresses.
The Mosman Park home belongs to investment banker Clayton Freind and wife Annelise, who purchased the property in 2007 for $20.5 million.
The couple demolished the property and spent four years building the current multi award-winning mansion with Giorgi Exclusive Homes.
The gently sloping 1768-square-metre parcel of prime land has a 47-metre frontage and comes with a full-sized tennis court.
The luxurious home has views over the Swan River, Blackwall Reach and Freshwater Bay Yacht Club on one side, and across Mosman Park Golf Course to Fremantle Port and the Indian Ocean on the other.
It includes an infinity pool and spa, music room, custom designed office, air-conditioned wine cellar and glass splashbacks in the kitchen that reflect the river scenery when seated at the vast waterfall breakfast island.
148 Palmerston Street, Perth
Located just a kilometre from the city centre, this landmark home is best known for its conical corner turret fondly referred to as the “Witch’s Hat”.
The 16-bedroom, five-bathroom home was once a backpackers’ hostel and comes with a commercial kitchen, communal lounges and admin offices on a 971-square-metre block.
It underwent a substantial renovation in 1996 and retains many of its federation character features, including bay windows with stained-glass, fireplaces, decorative plaster work and jarrah floors.
The home was originally built in 1898 as an elegant six-bedroom family home by Frederick Wilhelm Gustav Liebe, known for his use of “lavish” materials and who also built the superb His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth.
The residence is currently leased until November 2024 to a government supported health care provider, after which time vacant possession is possible.
City Beach
Built like a fortress, this icon across the ocean is designed by Laurie Scanlan, who is the architect of some of Perth’s most infamous landmarks including the Indiana Tea House in Cottesloe.
The property boasts 700 square metres of floor space with an elevation of 33 metres allowing panoramic views.
The five bedroom, five bathroom home is wrapped in glass from floor to ceiling, features a 10-metre atrium, two studies, a bar lounge, a soundproofed gym/studio, a sauna, an in-ground trampoline, a large swimming pool, and two heated spas.
The house is designed for energy efficiency with 27 solar panels contributing to its environmentally friendly footprint.
10 Turner Street, Augusta
Situated on Cape Leeuwin this one in 100 year property opportunity is designed to take in arguably one of the most sumptuous 270-degree panoramas on the planet.
The unobstructed vistas take in the Great Southern Ocean, Flinders Bay, St Alouarn Island, 60kms of untouched coastline and white water reefs, where you can see and hear migratory whales from the living room and balcony.
The luxury, craftsman built residence was designed by architect Neil Smith of Almondberry House, comprising two living areas, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, powder room, European kitchen, two garages with workshop, alfresco entertaining courtyard, verandahs and an all-weather viewing gallery.
254 Sheok Drive Yallingup
Positioned on more than three acres is this four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with sweeping ocean and valley views to Mt Duckworth, which is centrally located between Yallingup Beach and coastal town of Dunsborough.
The renovated home features verandahs around the entire home, a fire pit, custom pizza oven, plunge pool and Tesla car charger.
The area boasts spectacular surf breaks, popular walk trails, wineries, art galleries, and gourmet food experiences.
This two-storey home located on the ridge halfway between the house-and-land packages of suburban Baldivis and the Lake Walyungup reserve evokes the charm of a European-style manor.
A sweeping driveway encircles a classical fountain with lush swathes of lawn and meticulously manicured landscaping.
Inside, the 2014-built home features a powder room, a “great room” for entertaining, chef’s kitchen and blackbutt flooring, while outside there is a private drying courtyard, sunken fire pit, sandpit, pool, cabana and below-ground trampoline.
19 Mofflin Avenue, Darlington
This lovingly restored dame Nyana boasts more than 100 years of rich Darlington history.
Crafted from locally sourced granite back in the day, the two-storey residence is perched on a generous block at the end of a peaceful, family-friendly cul-de-sac.
With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home features a dedicated children’s wing with three bedrooms, a games room, bathroom and a balcony.
Inside the home features a butler’s pantry, sunroom, guest suite, study nook, media room and a guest suite with bedroom, ensuite and living room.
