AUCTION ON-SITE SATURDAY 2ND NOV AT 1PM (Unless Sold Prior)
While the scale and presentation are impressive, its position and potential are truly formidable. Its character-laden interior, blessed with superb period detailing celebrates a long history of cherished family moments. Set on a generous corner landholding directly opposite parkland, this five-bedroom, two-bathroom 1950s Tudor-inspired residence stands with the same poise today as it did almost eighty years ago.
Whilst understated, the home's presence and outlook elevate it far beyond the ordinary. It is a property defined not by extravagance, but by the grace and dignity of a bygone era, surrounded by a landscape of leafy streets and storied estates.
From the moment you approach, the steep-pitched roofline and traditional period styling announce the home's Tudor pedigree. The architecture-an homage to Old English style-offers a sense of permanence, of history rooted in both the design and the land itself. This is a house that quietly commands attention, standing proudly amongst the elegant homes of Dalkeith's prestigious streets, yet offering an intimate connection to the world outside its doors.
Inside, the home unfolds across two levels. Timber-framed windows, picture rails and superbly ornate, full-height ceilings speak to the craftsmanship of mid-century design. The interiors feel honest, unpretentious, and timeless. Each room is bathed in natural light, offering an inviting sense of calm.
The north-facing living spaces are functional and open, enjoying a rare sense of belonging. Exposed timber ceilings, painted brick and light grey tiling underfoot set the scene in the primary living area. Double doors slide open to the alfresco area and connect inside to out. Timber cabinetry and classic white wall tiles dress the kitchen, whilst stone countertops and a garden-facing double undermount sink finish the highly functional space.
Dressing the home like a private country estate, the grounds are carefully landscaped and are perfectly poised to host anything from intimate family gatherings to full-scale weddings or celebrations. The open lawns, framed by mature trees and bathed in winter sunlight are complimented by polished aggregate and a beautiful white framed gazebo area. With its scale, privacy, and polished setting, this is a versatile and welcoming outdoor space.
Yet, while the home holds its own charm, it is the location that truly sets this property apart. Its neighbouring Point Resolution, with a longstanding reputation as one of the most sought-after enclaves along the Swan River is indeed worthy of such demand. Its riverside position, wide tree-lined streets and village feel has earned this affluent postcode a podium finish as one of the state's finest addresses.
The Swan River, just moments away, offers endless opportunities for recreation, while the Waratah Avenue precinct, a fashionable and eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants and boutiques, is an easy walk. To live in Dalkeith is to live within a community that values both prestige and privacy, where the streets themselves carry a history of distinction.
Surrounded by residences that reflect the best of Western Australian property, 2 Wattle Avenue is a canvas-offering its next owners the chance to restore, expand, or simply enjoy the serenity of a home blessed with an enduring sense of place.
