Dalkeith Character Beauty
If the walls of this adored c.1930's family home could talk, they would speak of backyard hide-and-seek, fireside family time and picnics at the river's edge - decades before TV, mobile phones and gaming consoles existed!

Beyond beautiful established gardens lies a stately four-bedroom (plus study), two-bathroom residence, positioned on a sprawling 1012sqm block. The welcoming white-painted limestone and brick rendered elevation features a wide verandah with wrought iron balustrading and white timber window frames.

Boasting original features including lofty decorative ceilings and jarrah floorboards just waiting to see the light of day, the property also features a substantial extension added in 1980, including an enormous air-conditioned games room, a bedroom, study and a spacious laundry.

The formal lounge and dining area at the front of the home include a cosy fireplace with a mantle piece and marble surround, a chandelier light fitting and a split system air conditioner. Adjacent, the oversized master bedroom has a spectacular ornate ceiling, built-in robes, split system air conditioner and a decorative brass pendant light. Two further bedrooms upstairs enjoy access to the timber balcony and a wall-mounted air conditioner in each.

A gorgeous sunroom to the rear of the original dwelling invites an abundance of natural light into the home through wall-to-wall windows, and offers a picturesque outlook to the lush back yard and wraparound timber pergola.

There is plenty of storage throughout the home, including a built-in linen closet, space under the stairs, the roof, and the double lock-up garage with rear access via Ringneck Lane.

This beautiful property is positioned in the prestigious and tightly-held suburb of Dalkeith, just a few hundred metres to Melvista Park, Birdwood Reserve and the glistening Swan River. You have the opportunity to either renovate/remodel this beautiful home or start from scratch and build the luxury home you've been dreaming of - either way, this idyllic location offers the perfect place to continue creating wonderful memories for your own family.
