A unique opportunity exists to acquire one of Western Australia's most historic and iconic homes, along with arguably the best views from any property in Perth. This magnificent residence sits proudly atop 'the hill' and offers stunning, almost-360-degree views over the ocean to Rottnest Island in the west, then north over the river and city, and on to sweeping views of the hills in the east. Situated on a sizable 1228 sqm landholding, this stunning property combines beautiful traditional materials and craftsmanship in the original home with high-quality contemporary finishes throughout the extension.

The history and charm of the place are overwhelmingly apparent upon viewing this spectacular home, and the time and effort spent restoring and improving the property do not go unnoticed. The property's prestige and distinctiveness are timeless, with the home previously being awarded the State Heritage Award for Renovation.

The 600+sqm home has been architecturally converted and redeveloped over time, with the main focus on maximizing the stunning unparalleled views from all rooms, and restoring the property to its former glory whilst adding a modern flair to create an enchanting, comfortable home. The extension comprises the kitchen, as well as informal living and dining areas, whilst the original residence houses a formal living room, library, cellar, bathrooms and bedrooms. The extension flows effortlessly into the existing bones of the home, and both have stellar entertaining options that maximise the unrivalled vista.
