1 Conon Road, Applecross, WA 6153

Nestled amongst a prestigious streetscape less than 100m away from the glistening
Swan River, a stunning multi-award-winning architectural masterpiece awaits. Previously voted residence of the year by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, it's all the grandeur you'd expect from such exquisite craftsmanship; bold, angular lines clad in timber panelling and sandstone, towering walls of louvres to filter light and gentle breezes, soaring high ceilings that create an exceptional sense of space and seamless connection to the outdoors from every room.

Designed by renowned Melbourne architect Jackson Clements Burrows to interact with WA's unique climate, this astonishing home has two distinct yet complementary halves; the eastern side cocoons its occupants in heavenly solitude while the western side is orientated towards the river, dedicated to openness and being at one with the natural environment – the end result is truly spectacular.

A corridor with a window offers a glimpse of the breathtaking grounds as it guides you towards the mesh screen door set back from the entranceway - a brilliant security feature that allows you to greet visitors before welcoming them in. As you step inside, the heart of the home unfolds spectacularly to a luxurious open-plan living extending to the outdoors and a designer chef's kitchen with a parallel scullery behind, masses of built-in storage, a range of high-end appliances and stainless- steel accents. A shopper's entry from the double lock-up garage offers easy convenience to bring the groceries in while an internal lift is discreetly nearby
alongside an artist's room with a private decked courtyard centred around a majestic
frangipani.

The dining room harmoniously blurs the boundaries between inside and out - open up the sliding doors to unveil the soothing sounds of a pond below as pavers dot the water's surface. Continuing the grand sense of space and connection to the environment, an indoor-outdoor room is an entertainer's dream; adjust the motorised louvre panels or retractable shade sail in response to the elements, move the outdoor setting upon wheels with ease and cook up a storm in the kitchenette with a teppanyaki BBQ grill, refrigerated drawers and handy dishwasher.

Peeling off in their own private wing, a serene ground floor bedroom is the perfect guest quarters with semi-ensuite access to a finely appointed bathroom. There's also under-stair storage (easily converted into a wine cellar), concealed European laundry with a separate WC, study and exterior access to the leafy surrounds. Alongside a built-in library wall, imported bluestone tiles flow from the front door all the way to the upper level dedicated entirely to rest and rejuvenation. Two good sized bedrooms share the refined bathroom between them, each with built-in robes and private access to balconies suspended above the downstairs greenery. Privacy screening is a mainstay on this level, obstructing views from neighbouring properties without sacrificing the sense of openness. 

A reading room is one of the only rooms in the home without a built-in TV with its tranquillity echoed by another beautiful courtyard opposite, alongside an upper-level laundry. The master retreat is exquisite in its layout with an opulent ensuite for two, dedicated his and hers wardrobes independent of one another, a utility room with a safe, a sitting nook and balcony
embracing that north-westerly aspect with river and blue-sky vistas.

Flourishing greenery wraps the exterior as sandstone clad walls, blackbutt timber decking and bluestone pavers flawlessly continue the interior's design. A row of olive trees on the eastern boundary leads to frangipanis, agapanthus blooms, thoughtfully planted deciduous trees and easy-care artificial lawn before ending at the north- facing front garden with room to add a pool if so desired. With only footsteps separating your doorstep from the river, this is one of the best
spots to live in Applecross with central convenience to Applecross Village, Kearns Crescent, Westfield Booragoon, the CBD and public transport options. Walking and cycle paths curve around riverside bends with an abundance of beautiful parklands nearby and excellent public schools include Applecross Primary School and Applecross Senior High School, as well as esteemed private schools in the vicinity such as Penrhos College, Aquinas College and All Saints College. 

1 Conan Road is remarkable in the quality of its design and striking, yet timeless, architectural presence - a world of unparalleled luxurious riverside living well and truly awaits.
