MAYLANDS is one of the Voice’s favourite suburbs.

Close to the river, it’s got a unique vibe with large blocks and Art Deco architecture.

It’s also got some interesting history and was the home of WA aviation in the first half of the 20th century.

You might be able to see a few planes from the balcony of this Maylands penthouse.

It’s got fantastic views of the surrounding treetops and the city skyscrapers in the distance.

The balcony is deep and wide with plenty of room for an outdoor lounge/dining setting.

It’s a great spot for sundowner drinks, evening meals, morning coffees – or just hanging out and enjoying the vista.

What’s the rest of this one bedroom one bathroom penthouse like?

Well, it’s bright, airy and spacious with all the mod cons.

The lounge is situated directly beside the sliding glass doors leading to the balcony, so you have plenty of natural light and nice views in the background.

At the other end of the open plan is the kitchen/dining area.

The kitchen has some eye-catching woodgrain-style cabinets, which add some texture and depth to the room.

I like how the kitchen is tiled and the lounge is carpeted, adding a bit of heat with winter approaching.

The carpeted bedroom is spacious and has built-in robes, high ceilings and a neutral finish.

Fans of large showers will like the contemporary bathroom, which has a big shower cabinet and a neat vanity in the corner. It also includes a laundry with washing machine.

This north-facing penthouse is part of a modern complex with resort-style facilities including a pool, gym, sauna and entertaining areas.

The communal area on the second floor has a BBQ and views of the hills, and would be good for large social gatherings.

The apartment includes a secure undercover car bay, storeroom, and an internal intercom.

Situated on Tenth Avenue, it’s not far from all the cafes, bars and small restaurants on Eighth Avenue, and there’s loads of parks, public transport and amenities nearby.

This Maylands penthouse is well-priced and has fantastic views of the suburb.
