299 Riverton Drive North, Shelley, WA 6148

Direct water frontage is of course the holy grail of Western Australian real estate. North-facing and positioned gracefully on the banks of the Canning River, 299 Riverton Drive North in Shelley is one of those prized riverside properties. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom family home sitting on an expansive 1071m2 of prestigious river-facing land offers a unique blend of luxury and functionality. 

Imagine waking to the serenity of river life and the warm embrace of the morning sun. This haven is strategically positioned to bask in the winter sunlight, ensuring the house is bathed in natural light. The panoramic river views from the oversized windows and upstairs balcony are not just a visual treat but a daily invitation to connect with nature.
Crafted in 1993, this large family home is a testament to timeless elegance. As you step inside the double doors, you are greeted by a functional entry foyer. From here the floorplan offers versatile living spaces to the front and rear of the home with formal living, dining and kitchen areas occupying prime river-facing space. Extra height ceilings, decorative curved cornice detail and beautifully tiled floors create an ambience of style and finesse. 

The heart of this home is of course its open-plan kitchen and living space. Designed for the culinary artist, it features Gaggenau electric appliances, spacious granite stone tops, and an integrated fridge/freezer. The wet kitchen is fitted with a gas cooktop, good workspace and offers superb versatility whether preparing a casual breakfast or hosting a gourmet dinner. It's a space designed for shared conversations, communal living and creating lifelong family memories.

For those who revel in entertainment, 299 Riverton Drive North does not disappoint. An indoor, solar-heated swimming pool takes centre stage, whilst the large ground floor games room and upstairs theatre room are perfect spaces to enjoy with friends and family alike. The laundry, built-in sauna room and a traditional Japanese tearoom with hand-painted walls of a Mt Fuji panorama complete the ground floor with a touch of cultural elegance and serenity.

The master suite is a private oasis, boasting an ensuite that rivals any luxury spa. Think marble-wrapped spa bath, an oversized frameless shower, and custom-built cabinetry that speaks of refined taste and practicality. The remaining four bedrooms, along with a fully fitted river-facing study, offer ample space and privacy for family and guests.

Stepping outside, the amenities continue to impress. The full-size tennis court, with synthetic grass and high-grade floodlights, is ideal for both casual play and aspiring Wimbledon contenders. With extra off-street parking inside the security gate and access to the double car garage, the home is a well-designed, low-maintenance lifestyle compound poised for its next chapter.
