Mosman Park WA 6012

Set on an expansive 1067sqm block, this original 1940s Marshall Clifton home has been held exclusively by the one family for the past 35 years.

New to market, this is a rare opportunity to secure a unique offering right in the heart of one of the western suburb's most sought-after residential enclaves.

Built in 1940, this comfortable family home is a well-preserved example of the celebrated style of one of WA's most renowned architects whose residential designs were inspired by the architectural styles popular in Spain and Italy at the time.

Built to take advantage of Perth's temperate Mediterranean climate, Clifton's homes celebrated the outdoor lifestyle and were much better suited to the Western Australian climate than many other homes being built at the time.

This comfortable and much-loved family home boasts expansive living areas downstairs, with large windows looking across to Bay View Park and capturing the cliff front views that its elevated location affords.

The home's four bedrooms are all located on the upper level, which boasts sweeping views across Freshwater bay and an uninterrupted vista that truly captures the iconic beauty of the Swan River.

Spacious downstairs living areas boast original polished boards and high ceilings with original glass doors opening out to the front and rear gardens.

Solidly built and well maintained, this comfortable family home features traditional 1940s features such as high ceilings, original timber floorboards, generous proportions and trademark architectural flourishes such as decorative ceilings and cornices.

The home features sprawling rear gardens, a covered entertaining area and rear access via a paved laneway.

The elevated north facing aspect delivers some of the best river views this city has to offer with a sweeping, uninterrupted vista to the city, the hills and the Darling Scarp, with views to Bicton to its south and Claremont yacht club to its north.

Framed by the picturesque gums that dot the suburb's streets, this home's location affords both privacy and a unique aspect that takes in the rolling activity of the park beyond as well as the passing parade of boats and aquatic craft as they traverse the river from morning to night.

Enjoy a front row seat to the passing parade of recreational activities as walkers, joggers and families take advantage of the peaceful proximity to the river's edge via one of the suburb's most popular boardwalks with its river access as it winds around the cliffs of Peppermint Grove.

Enjoy a stroll to the Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, tennis at the nearby Peppermint Grove tennis club, Friday night bowls at one of Perth's best local bowls clubs and daily walks along one of the city's premier riverfront stretches.

Those with families enjoy the ease and flexibility of having Perth's best private schools and colleges literally minutes from the doorstep as well as the many local sporting grounds and recreational facilities that Mosman Park is known for.

Celebrated for its location between river and sea and protected from the city's daily sea breezes, this is a truly unique offering for those looking to take the next step in their property journey.
