Owned by the same family since it was built, this much-loved home is ready for a new chapter.
Ideal for larger or multi-generational families, it couples a beautifully detailed original home, featuring all the richness and charm of the Art Deco era, with a spacious open-plan extension and four zoned bedrooms.
Situated on one of Dalkeith's quieter streets, the home has a large front garden with plenty of space for cars and even a boat. An enclosed front verandah leads into a generous entrance and formal living room, where original timber work, lead-light French doors and an elegant central fireplace create a cosy space for winter nights. Next door is a dining room with a bay window, and then a sunny, stucco-walled breakfast room.
The home's open-plan kitchen and family room are ideal for modern living and entertaining, and lead out to a north-facing alfresco area and beautiful garden. With a deciduous jacaranda tree that provides shade in summer and sun and warmth in winter, along with a beautiful old frangipani and abundant agapanthus and succulents, this is a garden that's perfect for children and adults alike, and a lovely spot for entertaining and summer alfresco meals. A large workshop is perfect for storage or hobbies, while the bore reticulation is convenient and keeps the water bills low.
Bedrooms are zoned for privacy, with two original bedrooms plus a bathroom at the front of the house, and a studio to the rear with a kitchenette, ensuite and Toodyay stone fireplace, plus its own entrance. An ideal teenager's retreat, granny flat or even guest room, it is private, yet connected to the rest of the house. A main suite, also at the rear, has an ensuite with spa bath and separate shower, built-in robes, and an adjacent dedicated study or nursery.
Located in the heart of Dalkeith, with minimal traffic and the beautiful bays and parks of the Swan River on your doorstep, this is an idyllic place where kids can roam safely. With plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants alone Waratah Avenue, and walking distance to Dalkeith Primary School and kindergarten, Tennis Club, and Bowling Club, the suburb is prized for offering a peaceful, relaxed lifestyle, while being close to the CBD, Stirling Highway and public transport, as well as excellent private and public schools.
