20 Portsea Rise, Mosman Park WA 6012

On the highest point in Mosman Park sits this magnificently designed and built home by the renowned architect Richard Szklarz.
It's rare to find a home so private, yet with views from Perth City to the Swan River, Fremantle Harbour and the Indian Ocean. This home has many hero spaces both for the family, the children and the parents, with delightful separation and room for all to absolutely enjoy life on top of the hill. The detail in the design work, with the use of structural steel and full-height glass windows, the crafted oak floors and matching cabinetry throughout the entire home, is a real feast for the senses. There is an artful cut stainless steel staircase linking all levels, with full stainless steel downpipes adding to the dramatic mix of materials in this wonderful home. There is a lot to love here, but sitting out on the upper pool deck with your outdoor dining and access through to the family kitchen pantry and home study is a beautiful interplay between spaces.

The master suite dominates the south corner of the home, with a level of detail through the capacious walk-in robe and ensuite you will find quite functional in its form and size. This suite opens to the large living area through double doors and can be separated from the rest of the house. The children's bedroom area has access through to a rumpus room that has doubled as a theatre space. There is also a separate flat or fifth bedroom up and behind the large garage and workshop, which has to be seen to be believed.

This is a superb property for a family that loves to be together and enjoy an active life in such a surprisingly good location away from the madding crowd, with a parkland reserve on both sides of the property.

The below-ground pool is heated, and a large solar array on the roof gives an efficient power source. The Jarrah timber deck joins the pool with the living area and provides great family dining, guest entertaining, or just lying back on the sun chair and taking in the views towards the river.

The home enjoys 710 m² of land, but the way it sits above the landscape and above the suburb makes it feel like a very modern estate - we have always loved this home as it is a permanent statement in style that just doesn't date. From the moment you enter the double-height entry and rise up the staircase, you know that you have found something truly special.



I love this home.
