ALL OFFERS PRESENTED MONDAY 2ND MARCH (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR)
Just two streets back from the shimmering Swan River and the leafy calm of Bishop Road Reserve rises one of Perth's finest private residences - a rare, sprawling five-bedroom four-bathroom Dalkeith estate commanding well over 3,035sqm of blue-chip land.
Framed by chirping birdlife, sweeping lawns and lush established gardens, this architectural triumph by Paul Meschiati, elevated further by the interior mastery of his wife Louise Meschiati, is a breathtaking celebration of scale, sophistication and timeless design.
This is a home that doesn't just impress - it enchants. Every line, every material, every sun-splashed space speaks to an extraordinary level of craftsmanship, blending indulgent luxury with effortless liveability in the most seamless way imaginable.
Wrapping gracefully around the entire property, the enormous three-metre-wide verandas with timber-look floor tiles deliver a magnificent sense of scale and old-world grandeur - the kind of architectural gesture rarely seen in modern builds. The headline act of the under-cover area is a fabulous entertaining alfresco with audio speakers, a drop-down television and a two-way gas fireplace, shared with the main internal living zone.
Inside, Californian-inspired extra-high ceilings amplify the home's sense of light and luxury, creating grand, airy spaces that feel instantly uplifting. These soaring volumes don't just look spectacular - they enhance natural ventilation, deepen the flow of sunshine and elevate every room with a timeless elegance.
A giant open-plan lounge, family, dining and kitchen area will leave you in awe of its sheer size, six feature ceiling panels (with integrated speakers beneath), views of the surrounding greenery from all angles, sleek Dekton bench tops, high-end integrated appliances and access to an adjacent cellar - with five wine fridges. Eventually linking to a fully-equipped commercial chef's kitchen, the connecting scullery boasts electric ladder access up to a huge carpeted hidden studio that can be whatever you want it to be.
With its pop-up television, speakers and custom cabinetry, the separate television room makes for a fantastic alternative living space, leading through to the ultimate "adult wing" with its fitted home office, powder room, hallway storage and vast master-bedroom retreat - walk-in dressing room, make-up nook, spacious ensuite bathroom and all.
The separate minor sleeping quarters feature under-stair storage, a storage-laden laundry, an ironing room, another powder room, a decent games room, a fully-tiled main family bathroom and two spare bedrooms with built-in wardrobes - one king-size suite with its own fully-tiled ensuite. The wildcard in the layout is a massive upstairs loft, retreat or potential fourth-bedroom suite with reverse-cycle air-conditioning, skylights, two large storerooms and its own bathroom.
Externally, there is endless lawn space on which the kids and pets can let their already-vivid imaginations run wild even further. Also found within the expansive yard are an outdoor powder room, a hot/cold water outdoor shower (next to the clothesline), a powered lock-up garden storeroom and a lock-up double-door garden shed with a sink and storage.
There is heaps of room for a future swimming pool under the shade of the trees too, if you are that way inclined. Three potential vegetable-garden patches are complemented by the likes of a New Zealand Kauri Tree, a Queensland Leopard Tree and a South African Plum Tree, just to name a few.
To the right of the block, remote-controlled driveway access reveals a massive three-car lock-up garage with its own remote entry, built-in shoe-cupboard storage, two separate lock-up storerooms with roller doors and internal shopper's access.
Only a matter of footsteps separates your front gates from more gorgeous parklands along the river, with top schools, cafes, restaurants, shops, medical facilities and prestigious sporting clubs all moments away, in their own right.
And with what is essentially three side-by-side blocks on one grand title, the sheer magnitude of this private sanctuary places it in a league entirely of its own.
A once-in-a-generation offering. An unforgettable abode. A Dalkeith icon.
