A modernist riverside residence in Perth’s opulent Peppermint Grove, with a price guide of $7 million-plus, has found an owner after a whirlwind marketing campaign.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom single-level home at 145 Forrest Street had barely hit the market before a contract was secured last week.

Construction of the property was only completed last November, and the owner listed it purely due to opportunity and timing.

“The market here is still rising and there were a couple of people who were interested (in it),” selling agent Jody Fewster of Ray White Cottesloe Mosman Park said.

“He (the owner) actually did look at something else of mine, so it sort of came about because of that… he saw a property of mine, and he had really no intention (of selling).

“In actual fact, he would’ve been quite happy if he didn’t sell because he really does love this home.”

Set on an oblique 851sqm block, the home, designed by architect Seymour Clifford of Woburn Architecture & Interiors, has a north-facing passive solar orientation that centres around a courtyard and plunge pool.

“It’s flooded with northern light,” Ms Fewster said.

“It’s got really huge floor-to-ceiling glass panelling. The architect, the design, is simple, it’s beautiful. And it is like walking into a gallery.

“It is also on a good size block that people are interested in. Peppermint Grove is known for a lot of [smaller] blocks. This is 851sqm, so you can be in a single storey, uncomplicated but stunning home on a good block in Peppermint Grove.”

The home boasts high 3.4m shadow line ceilings throughout, a five-car garage with right-of-way laneway access, a library, a fireplace, and even a Bocce court.

An expansive kitchen features Miele appliances – including three ovens and three dishwashers – plus an adjacent scullery/laundry.

Ms Fewster said the home was part of a tightly held enclave in the prestigious suburb.

“It’s very hard to buy the riverside of the suburb. I mean, there are only just over 500 residences alone, so I think it’s one of the country’s smallest suburb.

“It’s very aspirational because it sits between the river and the ocean, and it’s very tightly held. And, of course, it sits in the middle of all of the best private schools.”
