13/78 Ormsby Terrace, Mandurah WA, 6210
Rare Retro Classic With Sparkling Views
On the fifth floor of one of Mandurah’s most iconic buildings, this one-of-a-kind penthouse apartment is on the market for the first time in 40 years. Built in 1981 this impressive four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence spans 240sqm. Legend has it the complex was constructed to house competitors of the America’s Cup in 1983 – making this a rare chance to own a piece of local history with jaw-dropping views across the Indian Ocean.
Inside, generous living spaces brim with vintage character. Relax in the large sun-drenched lounge or gather in the dining area with balcony access to soak in spectacular views. The perfectly positioned kitchen overlooks the Indian Ocean, ensuring you’ll always have a backdrop of blue while preparing meals. With classic cork flooring, the kitchen adjoins a casual meals area and flows into a second living zone, home to the leather-look studded bar – a true 80’s showpiece that’s heard many a tale.
Freshly painted with modern lighting throughout, the home feels refreshed while still leaving plenty of scope to add your own stamp. Each of the four bedrooms includes built-in robes, with the master offering sensational sea views and spacious storage. The second bathroom features a bath, while a separate toilet, well-sized laundry with overhead cupboards, and an extra-deep linen cupboard provide all-important practicality.
To top off the prime location and premier views, this apartment includes roller shutters to the front of the building, an electric hot water system, attic storage, and plenty of cupboard space. Downstairs, a double garage provides room for cars, hobbies, and toys. The complex itself offers lift access, visitor parking, a sparkling swimming pool, a tennis court, and beautifully maintained grounds.
Step outside onto the manicured lawns and enjoy direct access to one of Mandurah’s best patrolled swimming beaches, complete with a Surf Life Tower. The stunning coastline is really what defines the lifestyle here – from early morning swims to family afternoons in the sun, the ocean is literally at your doorstep.
All of this is set just steps from Mandurah’s best attractions – the coastline walking track, the marina, boutique shops, eateries, the cinema, Performing Arts Centre, and the foreshore. Whether you’re a surfer, early morning swimmer, or more of a read-on-the-beach type, this is coastal living at its finest.
After four decades of the same ownership, this apartment is ready for its next custodians to bring their own vision and polish. Opportunities like this don’t come around often.
