Set within Finbar’s Riverena complex, completed in 2020 in The Springs precinct of Rivervale, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment puts the Swan River about 200 metres from the front door and the Perth CBD within 5 kilometres.
Life here extends well beyond the apartment itself. The ground floor of this building opens to a solar-heated 15-metre pool with a Baja shelf and sun lounges, a fully equipped gym, a games lounge with a pool table and bar, and a landscaped poolside barbecue pavilion.
Presiding over it all is the Moreton Bay fig. Where most developments clear the site and start again, this tree was kept in place when Riverena was built, and it now stands as the backdrop to the pool deck, its broad canopy giving a 2020 building the settled feel of a garden that has been there for generations. It is the kind of detail that no amount of new landscaping can buy, and it makes the pool area somewhere to linger rather than simply swim.
Inside the apartment, the kitchen features stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, an induction cooktop, a glass splashback, and a dishwasher, and flows into the open-plan living and dining area, which opens directly to the balcony and its skyline outlook. The main bedroom has its own ensuite, the second bedroom is served by the second bathroom, which also houses the laundry, and air conditioning keeps the apartment comfortable through the year. Secure parking for one car is included, and guests are well catered for with plenty of secure visitor bays within the complex.
Rowe Avenue has become a dining strip in its own right. Springs Kitchen, the modern Australian restaurant inside the Aloft Perth hotel at 27 Rowe Avenue, serves from 6am until late and welcomes locals alongside hotel guests, while The Sushi 2016 at 25 Rowe Avenue runs one of the best sushi trains in Perth, with queues at busy times to prove it. Eastgate IGA, the Eastgate Medical Centre, and Cracknell Park are all within 1 kilometre.
Walking and cycling trails follow the Swan River foreshore toward Burswood Park, with Crown Perth and Optus Stadium each within 3 kilometres. For the daily commute, Burswood Station is about 850 metres away with regular Transperth trains into the city, the high-frequency 940 bus runs along Great Eastern Highway every 10 minutes between Elizabeth Quay and Redcliffe Station, with the 935 to Kings Park on the same road, and the Graham Farmer Freeway entry at Burswood is a short drive, connecting through to Perth Airport around 7 kilometres away and across the city in either direction.
