AUCTION ON SITE SAT 1ST MARCH AT 2:30PM (Unless Sold Prior)

The prestigious riverside suburb of Dalkeith is synonymous with luxury homes, yet 36 Watkins Road stands in a league of its own. This exquisite five-bedroom, four-bathroom estate, curated by the acclaimed architect Philippa Mowbray, reimagines Tuscan romance with the comfort of contemporary Australian living. It's a masterpiece of considered design and timeless beauty.

Step inside, and you're transported to a world where classical European elegance meets modern functionality. Originally crafted around 2000 and beautifully renovated in 2014, this exceptional residence bears Mowbray's hallmark style-thoughtful use of light, space, and natural materials. Yet beyond its design, this is a home that truly nurtures the soul.

At the entrance, a sweeping curved staircase with intricate wrought-iron balustrading hints at the grandeur within. A statement chandelier casts a soft glow over limestone flooring, setting the tone for interiors imbued with warmth and sophistication. Natural elements such as solid teak floors and limestone accents create a seamless harmony that whispers, "welcome home."

The renovated kitchen blends impeccable functionality with timeless style. Premium appliances, a mix of gas and induction cooking, and a scullery make it a culinary haven. Dark stone benchtops and custom cabinetry exude understated elegance, while a generous island bench serves as the perfect gathering point for family and friends.

Each of the five bedrooms is thoughtfully designed to offer privacy and comfort. The downstairs guest suite, conveniently located next to a bathroom, provides ease for hosting. Upstairs, sunlit bedrooms enjoy verdant views, reflecting Mowbray's commitment to harmonising indoor and outdoor living.

The master suite is a serene retreat, featuring garden vistas, a calming palette, and an adjoining ensuite. A versatile study, theatre room, or nursery adds to the home's adaptability, while the basement wine cellar offers an intimate space for connoisseurs to curate and savour their collection.

Outside, the estate's meticulously landscaped gardens extend the Tuscan narrative. Reticulated with a combination of bore and mains water, these lush spaces invite alfresco dining, relaxation, and entertaining. A seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas ensures every corner of this home enhances connection and tranquillity.

A Tesla Charging station as well as an open carport that may fit up to three to four cars in addition of the garage is also a valued feature of this property.
