A rare opportunity to secure a historic residence of grand proportions in a desirable bayside enclave with city and harbour vistas, this stately sandstone sanctuary impresses with stunning art-nouveau period features and impressive interiors throughout. Originally built in 1908 for Frank Whiddon, 'Dalkeith' was bought by the Norwegian Church Abroad in the early 1950s and became The Norwegian Seaman's Mission, providing community services to Scandinavian seamen until 1978, before being purchased and reinstated as a family home.
The property has since undergone extensive renovations, cleverly crafted by acclaimed architect Paul O'Keefe to deliver refined contemporary updates and effortless family living. Exquisitely integrating opulent period designs and modern inclusions, it showcases a flowing open plan layout that reveals an impressive alfresco entertaining area complete with a luxurious in-ground pool and sandstone poolside cabana. It is conveniently placed close to prestigious schools, local transport, waterfront walks with rapid access to the CBD.
