I often look up at the multi-million dollar mansions on Burke Drive and smile.

Unfortunately, I’m not pulling into the driveway in my Ferrari, but cycling on my Kmart boneshaker on the boardwalk below.

With only a small foreshore and beach separating the houses on Burke Drive from the Swan River, it has to be one of the top addresses in Attadale, if not South of the River.

It’s so close to the River, most houses have a rear driveway where they can wheel their boats directly into the water.

But the block rises steeply up, so you also have amazing views of the river and the city in the background.

In short, it’s got the full package.

This Burke Drive home is a lavish whopper – five bedrooms and four bathrooms on a 919sqm riverfront block.

The breathtaking facade has super high pillars supporting a massive porch. It’s a grand entry statement and will impress guests and business associates as they walk up the driveway.

The entrance foyer is like Citizen Kane’s Xanadu – all marble floors and pillars with a cathedral-like ceiling.

The marble floor has a nice star motif on it and the marble really pops.

If you like marble pillars, you’ll love this house – they feature on both the ground and first floor.

There’s masses of space in the open plan lounge/dining area, but it doesn’t feel soulless and there’s a homely vibe and plenty of feng shui.

The kitchen is a glossy affair with lovely black countertops contrasting with the cream cupboards and drawers.

There’s plenty of high-end stainless steel appliances and a nice big double sink and pantry.

Whipping up meals will be a breeze in the light-filled kitchen, which overlooks a lush back garden with mature trees and plants. The Chook likes the layout – there’s three bedrooms on the ground floor and another two on the first floor.

There’s technically a main bedroom on each level as they are the same size, giving you lots of flexibility and the potential for intergenerational living.

Working from home will be a breeze with a huge office and study on the first floor, while kids will be happy to play in the massive games room on the ground.

As you would expect, there’s plenty of living spaces and room for a large brood to stretch out.

And if you’re into views, the first floor has two spacious balconies.

This is a fantastic Attadale mansion in one of the best addresses in the suburb.
