Rising above a magnificent grove of gums, the angled architecture of Melview stands as a testament to mid-century modern design – and a rare piece of Melville history. A vision of renowned architects Krantz and Sheldon, this iconic complex was conceived upon solar passive principles, oriented towards the river and city, and constructed from sustainable materials that optimise form, flow and function.
Leafy, private and in the best position of all – this terraced townhouse sits tucked away from the road towards the rear of its boutique group of only eleven. That sense of quiet seclusion continues inside, with intriguing modernist style across two asymmetrical levels: floor-to-ceiling glass, floating timber stairs and garden outlooks everywhere.
Enter into a galley-style oak-hued kitchen featuring blue benchtops, a breakfast bar, oven and gas stovetop, with future scope to add your own touches or simply enjoy as-is. Jarrah floors merge into striking floating stairs – undoubtedly the centrepiece of the open-plan living and dining – flowing naturally outdoors. Here, a sheltered alfresco is the perfect spot to enjoy the treed serenity and birdsong, with communal gardens hugging the rear of the complex.
Upstairs, timber-look floors brighten the interior palette, complemented by streams of natural light. A minor bedroom, or ideal office, has lovely sunset views, alongside a neat bathroom in navy blue and white. The master bedroom is a peaceful retreat: mirrored robes, air-conditioning, ceiling fan and floor-to-ceiling glass opening onto a balcony – your own private perch above the surrounding greenery.
Out the front, there’s an appointed car bay by your front door, with plenty of visitor parking onsite, and easy access to the common laundry with space for your own washing machine.
As far as location goes, this is simply superb: stroll to the river, LeisureFit Melville, Hawaiians Melville for all the essentials, and bus routes right on your doorstep – direct to Fremantle or Perth CBD, making it ideal for city commuters.
Bringing architecture, light and landscape together, this is a home that celebrates the functional beauty and cool minimalism of 1970s mid-century modernism – all in a brilliant location to match.
