With unrestricted, treetop views to the Swan River, the city sky-line and Kings Park, one feels almost a sense of living like a local in one of the best suburbs of New York, Hong Kong or Sydney at The Manhattan apartment building.
Joining a secure group of six residences, this top-floor, double-storey residence is surrounded by ceiling-to-floor windows with balcony access from most rooms, warm timber flooring and cascading natural light from every corner.
Designed to accommodate two independent living zones, the home includes three bedrooms, (two with built-in-robes), a powder-room, walk-in-laundry and shared double-vanity bathroom with heated towel rail and jet-spa, on the first floor.
Completing this level is a light-bathed, north-facing sitting room which is currently set-up as a home theatre, equipped with a timber display cabinet and built-in projector and screen.
The timber staircase to the second floor, is fitted with a chair-lift and leads to a spacious, light-filled, open-plan living and dining area, with built-in stereo speakers, and again, breathtaking views to the city, river and beyond to Kings Park and the Old Swan Brewery.
With panoramic aspects from every window, cooking is a delight from the spacious kitchen equipped with Miele oven and dishwasher, four-burner gas stove-top, double sink with incinerator, abundant cupboard space and walnut-hued stone benchtops.
The master suite, with balcony access, and laid with champagne-coloured carpet, includes a surprisingly large walk-in-robe with a double vanity ensuite and heated towel rails.
Most surprising however, is the welcome addition of a built-in sauna located off the living room. Although not commonly found in Australian homes, the new owner will wonder how they existed without it!
Fitted with remote-controlled block-out blinds and shutters on all windows, ducted, reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout, video surveillance intercom, electronic security system, below-ground secure parking for three vehicles (and access to a lockable extra-large storage room), ducted vacuum, staircase storage and linen press, the five-storey apartment building also includes a common, ground-floor swimming pool and cabana.
One of the most endearing aspects of living at this location, is the ability to walk to so many of Perth's best destinations. Nearby are popular Mend and Angove Streets, with their abundance of cafes, bakeries, European delis and restaurants; the river foreshore, Mitchell Freeway, Perth Zoo, IGA supermarket, a well-revered bottle shop and open parkland, are all just metres away.
Accessible schools include Penrhos, Aquinas, Trinity and Wesley Colleges and, Como, South Perth and St Columbas (Catholic) Primary Schools.
