It is easy to see why Burke Drive is such a well kept secret. Although just a couple of blocks from busy Canning Highway, here the traffic is relatively quiet and splendid homes enjoy magnificent views across wide parkland and an expanse of river to the Perth CBD.

It is easy to see why Burke Drive is such a well kept secret. Although just a couple of blocks from busy Canning Highway, here the traffic is relatively quiet and splendid homes enjoy magnificent views across wide parkland and an expanse of river to the Perth CBD.

After a great deal of planning and a careful renovation, this spacious, light filled home has emerged, fully embracing the panorama available from its unique north-facing location.

If it’s storage you need, this is the home for you. There are many built-in cupboards, a large storage room and a vast area of accessible space in the roof, extending over the garage. On a practical level, the home has ducted vacuuming, a high capacity airconditioning system, spacious laundry and a covered clothes drying area - no need to worry about bringing in the washing if it rains!

All floors are beautiful, polished brushbox and sliding glass doors open the home up to the fresh air in every direction. A conservatory style room on the ground floor is a magical location to relax whatever the season, with the colorful lights of the City in the distance.

The kitchen is wood paneled, with granite benchtops and Miele appliances. A central island bench adds efficiency and additional storage while the ever present views create an enviable backdrop for the preparation of meals. A room off the living area is used as a TV room, but could be another bedroom, if needed. There is also a full bathroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the master suite includes a large bedroom with feature parquetry, walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom with spa, small private office and a balcony with gorgeous views. There are three other bedrooms and a large bathroom. Another versatile room houses a billiard table and has a full kitchen attached.

We are delighted to present this outstanding home as ideal for a family that enjoys a busy lifestyle and loves to entertain in a rare and precious riverfront- location.
