Welcome to 67 Philip Road Dalkeith. A magnificent two storey 6 bedroom 3.5 bathroom, 4 car garage home on a massive 1,176sqm block, with a north facing backyard and ROW onto Tree Martin Lane.
In the ever popular northwest quadrant of Dalkeith, close to the river, parks, schools and shopping, this is an ideal, large, generous family home. Bespoke in every way, no expense was spared in its creation in 2002. Fully fenced and behind a secure electronic gate, the forecourt is generous and provides access into the spacious secure 4 car lock up garage, which in turn opens directly into the house. Stepping through the front door into the grand foyer, you are greeted by a towering 6.1m ceiling with ornate detailing, a spectacular chandelier, gleaming solid Jarrah floorboards and a beautiful staircase leading up the second floor. To the left of the entry, we have one of the many remarkable rooms. It is a grand ballroom, with an ornate 6m ceiling that includes spectacular ceiling roses for the two chandeliers. The Jarrah flooring continues through this room, and we have large windows welcoming in natural light and air flow. This is a room that was made for entertaining. Fantastic as a formal lounge and dining space, or keep it for hosting events and parties. We can confidently say there is no other home in the area that boasts such a remarkable feature.
To the right of the entry is a home theatre/media room. This room is also versatile as another lounge room on the ground floor, with ample light from east facing windows. Continuing into the home we open up into the huge kitchen and the open plan living and dining room across the back of the house, with a bank of north facing windows and doors opening into the backyard. Everything here is of a scale that suits a 6-bedroom home. The kitchen has acres of bench space and storage capacity to handle the needs of a large family. The solid Jarrah floor continues through this living area.
A brilliant feature of the home is the ground floor main bedroom suite. It is more than king size, with windows looking into the back yard, a very generous ensuite bathroom with twin vanities, WC, bidet, spa and separate shower. A walk-in dressing room completes the main suite.
A large basement wine cellar is yet another remarkable feature with easy access down a staircase into the basement. Climate controlled, there is room for the most enthusiastic wine connoisseur to house the largest of collections, with enough room for a table & chairs, or a lounge.
There are also two powder rooms on the ground floor level along with the generous laundry.
Upstairs was designed for a family. There is a guest suite with a full ensuite bathroom and walk in dressing room. This could be seen as a second main bedroom upstairs. There is a central lounge/study area, then 4 king sized bedrooms with built in robes as well as a passageway with abundant extra storage. A uniquely designed double-bathroom services these 4 bedrooms. Each side as twin vanities, their own WC and a large central room which is home to a separate bath and shower. A great design for a busy, large family.
The north facing garden is comprised of a raised, paved alfresco area that opens from the kitchen, dining, and lounge. Then we have a lawn with perimeter garden beds and a standalone brick garden shed in the northwest corner. Ideal for bikes, a workshop, etc. Right now the rear lane is not accessed however it would be easy to do so if anyone wished. There is also plenty of room for a swimming pool if you wished.
I look forward to showing you this remarkable residence in person. Please see our weekend home open schedules or contact us to organise your private viewing.
