A picture perfect family haven set amidst the Jacarandas in Perth's most prestigious Riverside suburb. Set on a sprawling, old fashioned quarter acre block, this lovingly restored 1930s family home is set amidst picturesque gardens in the heart of this family friendly, water front precinct.
Let the children roam free in the safety of their own private wonderland, bursting with colour where swings hang from trees, chooks roam and birds come home to feed. Full of character and charm, this original Dalkeith residence has been meticulously restored with a historian's eye for design and detail.
From the bevelled leadlight window panes to the original plate rails, architraves and light fittings, this art deco gem has been transformed and restored melding the character of the era with the needs of modern day family life.
Nestled between the foreshore and golf course, high ceilings, polished timber boards, original fireplace and stained glass windows abound.
Behind the characteristic bungalow facade lies a family home and sanctuary perfect for a young family looking to become a part of this wonderful, welcoming community.
Walk through the original deco door through to an intimate and inviting entertaining and living space with picture rails, a working fire place, highly polished jarrah floor boards and a wonderfully welcoming family vibe.
The original kitchen has been meticulously renovated and restored with funky vintage touches seamlessly integrated with contemporary features as the working hub of this much loved family home. A dining space with sliding timber doors onto a gorgeous timber deck created using original recycled jarrah boards welcomes the outside in and offers up the option of alfresco living on warm summer nights.
Open the doors each end and welcome the sea breeze through the house as temperatures rise. This is a home thoughtfully designed to allow breezes to penetrate and to offer cool respite during those seemingly endless long hot summer days.
A peaceful and private master bedroom with original timber boards, elevated ceilings, built in robes and windows overlooking the garden beyond sits alongside a second bedroom with original features and extensive built-in robes.
An immaculate, fully restored art deco bathroom in evocative period colours sits between the master and children's bedrooms exhibiting the same rigorous attention to detail displayed throughout.
From the evolving, easy care gardens to the artist's studio with polished boards nestled beneath the Jacarandas, this is a home full of old world charm and allure.
Become a part of the neighbourhood, strolling from river to park to school with Mason's Gardens and the yacht, tennis and golf club just minutes away.
Homes like these, set on a rambling quarter acre in the heart of one of Perth's most desirable suburbs do not come around often. Take the opportunity to truly embrace the ultimate lifestyle and location.
