Perched proudly atop the Ridge, this architectural gem captures breathtaking panoramic views of South Perth, Como, the glistening Swan River and Kings Park. Behind its striking limestone facade adorned with greenery and glass, lies a residence steeped in history and sophistication. Built in 1938 for Consulate dignitaries, this is more than a home—it's a piece of South Perth history waiting for its next chapter.

Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Luxury
Step through the grand entrance into a world of refined character and charm. Thoughtfully restored preserving its late Art-Deco roots, this home is a seamless blend of historical detail and modern Hamptons-inspired elegance that will not be found in any other South Perth residence. Think soaring ceilings, intricate cornices, chestnut-stained Jarrah floors, generously sized light filled rooms throughout and exquisite finishing touches.

The lower floor is an entertainer's paradise, with multiple living zones drenched in natural light. A stunning granite art wall serves as a centrepiece in one room, while wide parliamentary doors and expansive glass walls seamlessly connect to the surrounding alfresco courtyards, inviting you to step outside and explore. The expansive dining area and chef's kitchen are nothing short of spectacular, featuring a rare 6-metre island bench, Miele appliances and a pantry that satisfies the most discerning cooks.

A Serene Oasis Inside and Out
Outside, the lush gardens surrounding the home are a botanical wonderland. Mature Kentia palms, 60-year-old frangipanis and rare Singapore White varieties create a tranquil and fragrant retreat. Scented rose gardens, lemon, lime and orange trees also add to the splendour. The back garden continues the theme with climbing jasmine, grapevines and Teddy Bear magnolias with lush lawns worthy of a bowling green. The large alfresco space is an entertainer's dream, complete with a wood-fired oven, sink, bar fridge and natural gas connection, all overlooking the sparkling pool.

The restored pool sits behind the privacy of limestone walls and orange jessamine hedges with the elegance of a glass pool fence. Deep blue in colour, it evokes all the luxury of a resort where you enjoy a refreshing dip with family and friends or simply bask in the tranquillity reading your favourite book on a lounge chair. 

A Panoramic Upper-Level Escape
Ascend the staircase to discover even more. The generous library space doubles as a living retreat, framed by endless blue-sky vistas. The grand primary suite is your private haven, with a sizeable walk-in robe, spa-like ensuite and plantation shutters that infuse a calming charm throughout. A private office with balcony access offers an inspiring space to work, with views stretching across Kings Park to South Perth Yacht Club and the city skyline.
