SOUTH PERTH is one of the Voice’s favourite real estate suburbs.Close to the city but not too busy, steeped in history but with modern amenities, and right beside the river so you can enjoy lovely walks, cycles and the annual Skyworks.

This luxurious home would have amazing views of the fireworks on Australia Day as you are virtually right on the foreshore, with Sir James Mitchell Park feeling like your own private garden.

Situated in the exclusive gated community Bay View, this three bedroom three bathroom property is opulence personified.

If you like marble and that glossy polished wood you get in the first class lounge at Emirates, you’ll love this house.It’s showcased in the stunning study which has polished wood everywhere, a stately desk and of course a Chesterfield sofa and armchair.

I could imagine relaxing here after dinner with a large Montecristo cigar, a 12-year-old Macallan and a first edition of Moby-Dick.

The open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area is a luxurious highlight with sweeping architectural lines and a beautiful wooden floor.

This property has too many features to mention but includes a double lock-up garage, ducted air-conditioning, security alarm system and solar panels.

The complex includes a resort-style swimming pool, sauna and a full-size tennis court.

Situated on a 642sqm block on Ranelagh Crescent, you are a short walk from all the cafes, bars and shops on Angelo Street, or take a leisurely stroll along the foreshore and you’ll reach Mends Street, where you can hop on the ferry to Elizabeth Quay.

This is a luxurious property in an historic suburb.
