Light-Filled Architectural Masterpiece
Directly opposite Nedlands Golf Course and screened by established greenery, this unique residence designed by renowned architect Paul Odden occupies an impressive 1,072 sqm Dalkeith landholding.
Its one-of-a-kind design takes full advantage of the leafy location and idyllic northern aspect, with expansive walls of glass flooding the home with natural light. With six bedrooms, four bathrooms, several versatile living areas, and a multi-textured palette of building materials, it's a magnificent architectural showpiece.
Throughout, find jarrah and parquetry timber floors, Carrara marble, stucco cement finishes, and abundant storage, including built-in cabinetry, robes and linen closets. The first living area, by the entrance, is a formal lounge room with a soaring raked ceiling and full-height curved glass windows overlooking the gardens. Step down to the spacious open-plan living and dining area, complete with a built-in gas fireplace, certain to have hosted many a lively party over the years.
The kitchen will be a talking point, with Miele cooking appliances and a central island bench fitted with drawers. A large picture window provides a bird's eye view to the alfresco area, while the adjacent sitting area flows outside through full-height glass sliding doors and enjoys a serene outlook encompassing the below-ground swimming pool, gardens and parklands beyond.
The lower-level bathrooms feature terracotta floor tiles, marble and cement finishes and frameless shower screens. They service the four downstairs bedrooms, including a spacious guest suite with a private ensuite and access to the front and side courtyards. This level also includes a well-equipped laundry, a convenient built-in study nook by the kitchen, and two linen presses.
The cement and marble staircase curves toward the second level, where you'll find a study fitted with a raked ceiling and extensive cabinetry, and overlooks the home's front entrance below. Another bedroom boasts a private ensuite, built-in bedhead, robe and desk - with a corner window providing a gorgeous leafy view and river glimpses. Finally, the primary bedroom suite will take your breath away, with the full-width curved glass wall terminating at a private balcony terrace with river glimpses. Wake up to stunning views over Melvista Park every morning! The jaw-dropping ensuite includes a fully-fitted walk-through robe, an oversized frameless shower, an indulgent jet bath, double vanity and a separate WC.
Outside, established gardens offer privacy while you enjoy alfresco dining and the sparkling pool, complete with a robot cleaner and mosaic-tiled ledge. Brand new buffalo lawn provides a soft play area for kids and pets when you're not across the road enjoying the sweeping green open space.
Secure this architectural masterpiece and make it your own, or move straight in and enjoy the unique features and layout immediately. It's an iconic property in one of Perth's most exclusive and desirable locations. Stroll to river foreshore parklands that stretch for kilometres, dinner and drinks at Steve's Hotel, and endless restaurants and cafes on Broadway. This property is perfectly positioned for the Nedlands medical precinct and UWA and a selection of Perth's best private schools.
