Set on an expansive 1,315sqm landholding in one of Dalkeith's most coveted riverside pockets, 72 Watkins Road presents an exceptional opportunity to secure space, privacy and lifestyle in a premium location. Surrounded by established homes and moments from the Swan River, Claremont precinct, elite schools and easy CBD access, this is family living at its finest.
Behind manicured hedging, bespoke landscaping and classic red brickwork, the home welcomes you with a sense of timeless elegance. This property was renovated throughout in 2016 and has been recently refreshed. A landscaped front garden with water feature sets the tone, while parquetry floors flow throughout the interior, immediately establishing warmth and quality.
To the left of the entry, formal living and dining spaces provide an elegant setting for entertaining. The dining room comfortably accommodates large gatherings, while the adjoining sunken sitting room features a fireplace and double doors opening to the front garden, an inviting space for relaxed evenings or hosting guests.
Moving through to the heart of the home, the kitchen and informal living zones impress with soaring pitched ceilings and abundant natural light. A casual meals area sits alongside the kitchen, ideal for everyday family life. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with statement pendant lighting, extensive bench space, generous storage and pantry, built-in wall oven, gas cooktop and concealed rangehood. The cabinetry complements the home's classic style while offering excellent functionality. Tucked discreetly behind the kitchen is the laundry with direct outdoor access.
Overlooking the kitchen, the main family living room is anchored by a gas fireplace with a stone feature wall and framed by large windows that capture leafy garden views. This zone truly forms the centre of the home, designed for connection, comfort and everyday living.
Sliding doors lead out to a paved patio that enjoys elevated views over the expansive backyard. Steps guide you down to the lower lawn where a large swimming pool and generous grassed area create a private environment for children, entertaining and outdoor enjoyment. Established trees and hedging line the perimeter, offering both beauty and privacy with multiple outdoor living zones.
The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully zoned. The master suite is privately positioned toward the front of the home alongside a dedicated study, ideal for working from home or quiet study. The master bedroom is generous in scale, featuring corner windows overlooking the front garden, built-in robe, ceiling rose detailing and plush carpeting. The adjoining bathroom is finished in marble tiling and includes a bath, large walk-in shower and vanity, continuing the home's refined aesthetic. Ducted air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort throughout.
Three further bedrooms are accessed from the family wing and are all well-sized and carpeted. Nearby, a games room with pitched ceilings enjoys views across the backyard and features sliding doors to the patio, perfect as a children's retreat or additional living zone.
Adding further flexibility is a substantial lower-level space comprising a fifth bedroom, bathroom and living area. This level functions beautifully as a teenage retreat, multi-generational living zone, guest accommodation or additional games room. It can be accessed internally via stairs from the bedroom hallway and also enjoys direct access to the backyard, enhancing its independence and versatility.
Offering scale, flexibility and a coveted riverside lifestyle, this is a home designed to grow with families and adapt to every stage of life. A rare opportunity to secure significant land, timeless design and a premier Dalkeith address.
