2 Cliff Street, West Perth, WA 6005

Some homes capture attention; others capture history. 2 Cliff Street, West Perth bridges this gap. A home with remarkable presence, it is perhaps the last of its kind, perched high on the Kings Park escarpment, commanding uninterrupted views across Perth's city skyline, the Swan River, and the distant shores of South Perth. From dawn's golden light spilling over the water to the city's twinkling skyline at night, this is a home that sees Perth at its most extraordinary.

Designed and built in the Early-1900s, this six-bedroom, four-bathroom residence carries a rich architectural legacy. Later expanded under the ownership of Sir Laurence and Lady Brodie-Hall, it was reimagined to enhance its internal spaces and panoramic outlook. Two and a half levels of elegant living embrace both vintage charm and modern functionality, offering the opportunity to occupy immediately, transform, or redevelop-a decision as significant as the home itself.

Set privately behind its gated entry, the home reveals its original character and craftsmanship from the moment you arrive. The main house unfolds over two floors, each space designed to embrace the ever-changing landscape beyond.

The large picture windows in the primary lounge and dining rooms capture the drama and scale from the outset. Magically framing nature's own canvas, an immediate connection is made from inside the home to Perth's sublime landscape beyond. The master suite, complete with a dressing room, built in robes and ensuite bathroom, offers a front-row seat to the city's finest views-a sanctuary above it all. On the ground level, a second large bedroom with ensuite facilities, large home office, laundry and generous living areas provide versatile living dynamics.

The mezzanine consists of a large, river facing bedroom, bathroom, and storeroom. As you would expect, the second level is connected to the main home, but it also can be a flexible self-contained apartment with its own private entrance. Capturing the same sublime views, a river facing living room, three-bedrooms, a bathroom and a second kitchen complete a remarkably flexible floorplan.

Beyond its storied interiors, a landscaped, terraced garden offers an idyllic outdoor retreat. Generous in scale, utterly private, and perfectly positioned to take in its pristine backdrop. Whether envisioned as an elegant entertaining space or an extended alfresco, the possibilities are as limitless as the views.

A residence of rare distinction, 2 Cliff Street is perhaps the last freestanding green-titled property on the Kings Park escarpment. Its unrivalled position-secluded yet supremely connected-offers a real estate opportunity with unquestioned gravitas. And yet, despite its potential, this is above all, a family home cherished by those fortunate enough to have lived here.
