Fancy living in a luxury apartment with spectacular city and river views? You’re in luck, but only if you have a spare $10 million or so handy. Sure, you’ll need to part with some big bucks but this kind of purchase would land you at the top of a very exclusive list.
Prior to the latest stunners, the most expensive apartment in Perth was a North Fremantle penthouse. It sold in 2007 for a cool $8.25 million. The ultra-swish pad, located within “The Moorings” complex, boasted 500sqm of living space and came complete with a private mooring. While the latest crop of upper-end apartments have river views rather than river frontage, it is a great indication of how far the top end of the market has rebounded.
So what makes these apartments so special? Let’s take a look inside.
Unit 6/23 South Perth Esplanade, South Perth - $12.6 million
Listing agent: Angus Murray
The first of the potential record breakers, and the most expensive, is a South Perth Esplanade grand penthouse that has been described by the agent as “effortlessly sophisticated”.
With an unobstructed view of the city skyline this two-storey apartment is modern, roomy and appointed with ultra-chic fittings.
Located within the exclusive SILK apartment complex this 576sqm penthouse is just a short stroll from some of the best cafe’s and restaurants in the city.
Unit 4/2 Bellevue Terrace, West Perth - $10.5 million
Listing agents: William Porteous and David Vitale
Located in the architecturally striking Miami apartment complex, this nautical themed apartment boasts a superb level of sophistication. Potential buyers can enjoy, among other things, three generous bedrooms, three bathrooms and a theatre room with all the technological trimmings. An extra sweetener is the on-site infinity pool (with arguably the best pool view in the city), spa, sauna, gym and a temperature-controlled wine cellar for those amongst us that enjoy a tipple. And the views of the river, city and Kings Park are simply breathtaking.
Unit 2/2 Bellevue Terrace, West Perth - $9.5 million
Listing agent: Mal Dempsey
Rounding out the list, this apartment, another Miami residence, may be a million dollars cheaper than its upstairs neighbour but it’s just as spectacular. With access to the same pool, spa and gym and sporting a palatial fit-out, this three bedroom, full second floor apartment covers all possible bases. With a generous 336sq m of interior living space, not to mention three balconies, it is simply deluxe - from the kitchen appliances right down to the light fittings.
If the hype surrounding the luxury property market is accurate these three properties will sell quickly. Where they’ll end up on the “most expensive” list is anyone’s guess but one thing is certain - apartments in Perth don’t get much better.
