Waterside living has never been so elegant, with 1 Fraser Road weaving timeless style and family comfort into its enviable Applecross address.

Spanning three levels across a 689sqm corner block, the four-bedroom abode combines generous proportions with considered design and meticulous craftsmanship.

“There is only one 1 Fraser Road – it really is iconic,” Colleen Gandini Residential Sales Executive Kalindi Monie said.

“What I particularly love is that it feels like a home which has been built to last, rather than designed around a particular trend.

“There is a timelessness to it, and you continue to notice different details the longer you spend there.”

The residence lends itself to a large family seeking flexible living without sacrificing opportunities to come together.

“It would be ideal for a family with older children, extended family or regular guests, as everyone can have their own space and privacy,” Ms Monie said.

“It is also a fantastic home for people who love entertaining.”

The scale is apparent on approach, with established gardens framing the home at the bottom of the hill.

Bathed in warm lighting, a columned colonnade guides you to the portico, creating an impressive sense of arrival.

Stepping through the decorative stained glass French doors, the grandeur is balanced by an abundance of natural light that welcomes you into high ceilings, marble floors and whitewashed walls.

Ascend the carpeted staircase or take the lift to the first floor, where the residence opens up to family and entertainment areas.

“You have an expansive informal living area adjoining the kitchen, as well as separate formal living and dining spaces,” Ms Monie said.

“The scale of the formal living and dining area is particularly impressive, but it still feels inviting, rather than overly formal.”

Flanking the layout, the kitchen combines everyday functionality with a refined finish.

“The kitchen features beautiful granite benchtops, extensive cabinetry and cupboard space, along with quality Miele appliances,” Ms Monie said.

“The finishes give it a timeless feel and complement the craftsmanship seen throughout the rest of the home.”

When the party kicks off, step on to the upper cabana and balcony for a barbecue while taking in the river views with a tipple.

Head downstairs to the backyard, where a more relaxed ambience takes advantage of the home’s position by the water.

“The swimming pool sits alongside a large covered verandah and barbecue area,” Ms Monie said.

“It’s a fantastic entertaining space and has a lovely resort-style feel, particularly in the warmer months.”

Leave the outdoor entertaining behind as evening falls, with generous bedrooms offering peaceful retreats for a restful night.

Taking pride of place on the upper level, the main bedroom is a private haven with a walk-in robe, an ensuite and direct balcony access.

Downstairs, three additional bedrooms – two with ensuites – provide plenty of room for children or guests.

The level is serviced by two extra bathrooms.

For those with an enviable car collection, the garage has room for six vehicles on the basement level, while wine collectors can store their favourite drop in the cellar.

Beyond the front door, the Applecross lifestyle is just as enticing.

“You’re just moments from Swan River and the foreshore, yet you’re also incredibly close to Applecross Village, cafes and restaurants, excellent schools and all the amenities the area is known for,” Ms Monie said.

“From the upper level of the home, you also get that wonderful connection back to the river and Perth city skyline, which is particularly beautiful in the evening.”
