This architecturally designed solar passive home offers you and your family a wonderful floor plan, on a large, 1012 sqm block, with a north facing backyard, on a quiet, family friendly street, close to the river. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 3 living areas, plus a study, high ceilings on both floors, an excellent studio/garage/workshop, and an expansive north side lawn, all fully fenced and secure with electronic gates.
The home offers you the choice of two main bedroom suites. One on the ground floor, and on the floor above. Both with walk in robes and full ensuite bathrooms.
The main open plan living, dining and kitchen are across the northern side of the home, and open to the alfresco living zone, lawns and garden. This is complimented on the ground floor by a more formal lounge, with a fireplace, that is very versatile. It can be a second lounge, games room, music room, theatre room, kids play zone - it is entirely up to you. The first floor above has another lounge separating the bedrooms and compliments the ground-floor living options.
The property's front yard is securely gated for peace of mind, by a single pedestrian gate and remote-controlled double driveway gates - the latter preceding a pitched double carport enclosed on three sides, open to the east. The drive continues to the rear and the separate garage/studio/workshop. The front courtyard provides ample additional parking behind the secure gates for guests, boats, trailers, etc.
Double timber front doors reveal a grand tiled entry foyer with access into the s spacious front lounge with soaring cathedral-style high ceilings.
On the other side of the staircase sits a functional laundry with ample linen storage, internal hanging space and external access out to the under-cover side clothesline.
Separate wooden double doors allow you to close off the main living, dining and kitchen from the rest of the house. This area is impeccably tiled and boasts high ceilings, a gas fireplace, an additional gas bayonet for further heating, split-system air-conditioning, two ceiling fans and audio wall speakers.
The kitchen is perfectly positioned on the eastern end of the main room. It boasts sparkling granite bench tops, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a five-burner Miele gas cooktop, stainless-steel double Miele ovens, a sleek white Miele dishwasher and a scullery space with more granite countertops, ample power points, a large walk-in pantry and access outside.
An enormous ground floor master bedroom suite is the perfect downstairs base, warmed by gleaming wooden floorboards, overlooking lush green backyard lawns and comprising of a walk-in wardrobe, fitted storage and a quality ensuite bathroom complete with bubbling spa bath, walk-in rain shower, twin-vanity basins, heated towel rack, toilet, and laundry chute.
There is also a separate study adjacent to the kitchen on the ground floor, along with a separate powder room.
Upstairs, a generous third living/retreat area can be whatever you want it to be and has a gas bayonet for winter heating.
Timber floors feature in the three spare bedrooms up here, inclusive of the oversized second main bedroom. This has split-system air-conditioning, delightful views down into the backyard, and a "his and hers" walk-through robe, leading into an intimate ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity.
The third bedroom is large, looks over the backyard and has both a walk-in robe and split-system air-conditioner. The fourth bedroom is also versatile and an upstairs study. The well-appointed main family bathroom completes the upper level and features a large shower, W.C. granite benchtop and vanity basin.
In terms of outdoor entertaining, three separate sets of sliding doors reveal a spacious patio-style solar pergola that caters for absolutely any and every occasion with its dual ceiling fans, outdoor Ziptrak blinds for full enclosure and protection from the elements and a stainless-steel gas barbecue, neighboured by double sinks, to form an impressive external kitchen/bar setup.
A giant backyard leaves more than enough room for a future swimming pool if you so wish. A central tree provides shade and being fully fenced, this is a private, peaceful and quiet backyard.
A wall of scented Jasmine leads you directly into a large lock-up garage/workshop at the rear - with more than enough room for at least an extra car, water sports toys, and a ton of storage. There is a huge attic/loft, accessed easily via a generous staircase. This can be an escape, workshop, home office, gym, or just a massive storeroom. Again, it's entirely up to you as to how you use it, but its versatility and value are unquestioned.
Only a matter of footsteps separates your front door from picturesque parklands along the river, with Dalkeith Primary School, cafes, restaurants, the local Dalkeith IGA supermarket on Waratah Avenue, the Dalkeith Tennis Club, the Dalkeith Nedlands Bowling Club and a host of bus stops also only strolling distance away.
