From an absolute waterfront Applecross stunner to a masterful extension in Daglish harmoniously blending old and new, these are the Perth property listings worth checking out this week. 39 Canning Beach Road, Applecross Price: On Application Agent: Linton Allen, Empire Residential Property Special Features: Absolute riverfront home with unobstructed views Beds: 5 Baths: 3 Cars: 2 Floor-to-ceiling glass on three levels ensures all the delights of the river can be appreciated from the comfort of this spectacular waterfront home. Offering a front-row seat to all the happenings on the Swan from the ground floor and upper levels means the owners have made the most of their exclusive location, whether they’re indoors or out. “I love the absolute waterfront location — the dolphins, the pelicans, the stunning sunsets and sunrises,” one owner said. Modern finishes include a stylish curved kitchen with stone benchtops and a feature stone splashback, an open-plan living area with a feature fireplace, and a resort-style parents’ retreat with a huge balcony overlooking the water. Additionally, the home is near Applecross Village and its array of amenities. “I love how close it is to a bevy of cafes and shopping in Applecross Village, and the walking paths all along the Swan River and up to Heathcote,” the owner said. For entertaining guests, there is a custom-built concrete pool surrounded by travertine floors, and a built-in barbecue and cabinets. 7 Willcock Avenue, Daglish Price: Offers from low $2 million Agent: Michelle Kerr and Jake Polce, Duet Property Group Special Features: Masterful extension Beds: 5 Baths: 2 Cars: 2 This head-turning Daglish home is proof that old and new architecture can coincide together in perfect harmony. A masterful extension to a charming bungalow home has resulted in a property with oodles of street appeal that is also fully equipped to cater to modern living. The design, which superbly combines rustic architectural elements with streamlined modern form, is more than just pretty, though. “We did our best to build a passive house with thermal mass, shading in summer and sun in winter,” one owner said. The result is a home that is as functional as it is striking, with the property often acting as a meeting spot for neighbouring children. “The best time in this house was when kids from the street would enjoy our pool in summer. It’s a friendly neighbourhood where you see neighbours in their garden and people walking the street.” And in addition to offering the best of both worlds when it comes to old and new architecture, the light-filled home is also between the city and the sea. 23 Dutton Way, Singleton Price: Over $749,000 Agent: Cass Levitzke and Clarissa Alsop, Coastal Realty WA Special Features: Budget-friendly coastal dream Beds: 4 Baths: 3 Cars: 1 It’s quite incredible that despite Perth’s runaway house prices, buyers can still snatch a beautifully presented near-coast home on a big block for less than $800,000. This Singleton home on 900sqm is not only a couple of streets back from the ocean, it also offers a granny flat by the pool for more versatile living options. “We love that we can escape to the end of the garden and completely relax in the pool house,” one owner said. “It’s so nice having such a great entertaining space. It’s like being on vacation in our own home.” Additionally, the home’s finishes and presentation are just as appealing as the budget-friendly price. There is a sunken theatre room, solid oak floors throughout, and a stylish master bedroom with a walk-in robe. “Being on such a friendly, quiet street just metres from the beach is idyllic,” the owner said. “Hearing the ocean and watching the sun go down while chilling by the pool on these balmy summer evenings is paradise.”
