ANTHONY and Cleopatra, Fred and Ginger, Brad and Angelina, I reckon the catch phrase “there’s someone for everyone” can be applied to the happy home too.

(Even though the women’s mags can’t decide month by month whether Brad and Ange are splitting, getting married, or having more kids).

Last week I was looking at an $8 million apartment in East Perth, this week a $429,000 one in Mt Lawley–interestingly both with sweeping river views.

This more humble abode may not have a marble entry, but step inside to the open living spaces and you’ll feel a million dollars as your eye is drawn to a view that sweeps down to the Perth skyline, taking in the casino and Belmont Raceway along the way.

Invite your mates over on Australia Day and enjoy a spectacular display of fireworks from this top floor eyrie.

Luckily for me there’s a lift, I don’t think I’d have made it up to the ninth floor–not in any fit state to get back down again anyway.

Golden-timber floating floors and crisp white walls give a sense of space and light to this two-bedroom, 94sqm apartment.

Views and light are enhanced by huge windows, and double glass doors onto the balcony.

Like the rest of the apartment the kitchen has been given a fresh modern make-over, including new stove, dishwasher and microwave.

There’s no shortage of storage space and the laundry-in-a-cupboard is tucked conveniently around the corner.

One of the bedrooms opens onto the balcony, and both take in the view.

Bathrooms often let down older abodes, but this one is has also been revamped to a pristine, white and modern space.

With a caretaker on the premises new owners can relax, enjoy the pool or take in the many cafes and restaurants virtually on the doorstep–or wander down to the river foreshore and commune with nature.
