Occupying a commanding corner position on a massive land holding that overlooks the Dalkeith Tennis Club, the sprawling David Cruickshank Reserve, access to the Dalkeith Nedlands Bowling Club and sits within footsteps of bus stops, the Dalkeith Kindergarten and our picturesque Swan River. This grand two-storey home of four bedrooms and two bathrooms neighbours a self-contained 1x1 flat and an outdoor fourth bathroom - all whilst providing you and your loved ones with comfort, space and elegance, all year round.
The North facing alfresco is seamlessly accessible from the home's main entry level and its light, bright and spacious open-plan family and meals area, dominated by rustic floor tiling and comprising of two ceiling fans, a gas bayonet, split-system air-conditioning, a storeroom and double-door access to the terrific open poolside pergola.

A grand entry foyer is where you are first introduced to solid wide wooden floorboards and an enchanting staircase leading up to the top floor, with the timber flowing through to large formal lounge and dining rooms on either side. Upstairs, the pick of the expansive sleeping quarters is a commodious, light-filled master-bedroom suite that is gigantic in its proportions and boasts a ceiling fan, leafy window views, river glimpses, an aspect of the tennis courts across the road, a walk-in dressing room with ample built-in-wardrobe and storage space and a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom - shower, separate bathtub, heat lamps, bidet, toilet, twin vanities and all. Next to an extra-large carpeted landing you will find the fourth bedroom that is more than generous enough to be utilised as either a home office or library, also with a snapshot of the glistening river waters.
The separate accommodation at the rear is perfect for those with Airbnb aspirations, with the extra income-earner - or potential teenager's, living quarters for elderly parents or even an au pair. The space hosts to a carpeted fifth bedroom with a ceiling fan, full-height built-in wardrobes, a fully-tiled third bathroom with a shower, separate bathtub, skylight and toilet, its own living room, gas bayonet, integrated audio speakers in the ceiling and views out to the yard and a lovely central kitchen and eating area with a fridge, gas cooktop, a Whirlpool oven and plenty of natural light.
