The owners of this re-modelled Dalkeith residence have poured inspiration from living and travelling in Europe and South America, into this truly remarkable home.
The beautiful four/ five bedroom, 4.5 bathroom North facing property on a sprawling block, is reminiscent of a Spanish hacienda - resplendent with climbing bougainvillea, Juliet balconies and extensive terracotta tiling. Established Oleanders and Liquid Amber trees surround the home, creating an ultra-private and secure sanctuary within.
Vast hallways and lofty ceilings, enhanced by plantation shutters, soaring arched windows and skylights, lend a lovely spaciousness throughout the home.
The lower level is home to a formal lounge and dining room with fireplace, home theatre (which could easily convert to a guest bedroom) and study on either side of the grand entrance hallway.

The adjacent over-sized powder room features floor-to-ceiling tiling, onyx granite benchtop, beautifully carved stone basin and WC behind a privacy plinth.
