12/20 Dean Street

This beautifully renovated apartment offers one of the most sought-after advantages in apartment living a prized northerly aspect, capturing glorious winter sunshine throughout the day. The photos you are viewing were taken at 10:00am on 3rd of June, in the heart of winter, showcasing natural sunlight streaming effortlessly into the home and highlighting the warmth, comfort and livability this aspect provides. The renovated kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, featuring sleek stone benchtops, excellent storage and quality stainless-steel appliances, including a convenient dishwasher drawer. The bathroom is equally impressive, complete with a spacious shower and a cleverly concealed European-style laundry tucked discreetly behind a roller shutter, offering generous space for both a washing machine and large laundry trough. Having sold apartments in this building for more than two decades, I can confidently say River View Gardens is one of the most exceptional complexes in the Western Suburbs. Owners affectionately refer to one of its unique advantages as "money from heaven" - a long-standing income stream that has contributed significantly to the building's continual enhancement and outstanding financial health. This financial strength has helped fund substantial improvements over time, including brand-new double glazing to all windows, modern glass balcony balustrades, and the meticulous maintenance standards evident throughout the complex. It also contributes to the building's notably competitive strata fees when compared to many surrounding apartment developments. Positioned on one of the highest points of land between the city and the coast, River View Gardens benefits from telecommunication infrastructure located on the rooftop, providing ongoing income to the strata company. In addition, owners retain ownership of the fully renovated former caretaker's apartment - another valuable asset contributing to the long-term strength and future stability of the complex. Lifestyle convenience is another standout feature. Located just 400 metres from the entry to Claremont Quarter, residents enjoy effortless access to shopping, cafés, restaurants, entertainment and transport options, with train and bus services all close at hand. The resort-style facilities further enhance everyday living, featuring a large below-ground swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens, shaded relaxation areas and pool lounges, plus a separate BBQ area ideal for entertaining during the warmer months. Residents also enjoy secure key-card entry, an undercover parking bay within the secure garage, and gated pedestrian access to Mount Street. This premium location also places you within close proximity to some of Perth's most prestigious educational institutions, including Christ Church Grammar School, Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, as well as UWA, local parks, playing fields and countless lifestyle amenities.
