75 Minora Road, Dalkeith WA 6009

Welcome to Cranleigh, a stately, classical residence imbued with quality older style finishes and located on a leafy quarter acre block just minutes' walk to the river. It enjoys a north facing backyard, mature trees, large and numerous living areas and a selection of 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with ample space to repurpose and redesign parts of the home into more bedrooms and bathrooms, as you require. The current owner design the house with an emphasis on having different zones for entertaining and living, that all looked into the garden and took advantage of the natural light, north and east orientation, and the full 1012sqm of land. It has a 3 car lock up garage and all sits behind a fully secure perimeter fence with electronic gates.

The home's namesake comes from the long-time owner's connections with a family home in England, and the result is a harmonious and considered colour scheme, style, and a welcoming warmth.

Behind the secure front gates, a curved driveway leads to a portico at the front entrance. Inside, a bright and open entry hallway with soaring ceilings reaching to the top of a graceful staircase. Straight ahead we flow on to the formal living, kitchen, dining and living areas.

On the ground floor is the main bedroom, located at the front of the house. It has its own additional lounge/retreat, ensuite bathroom, and walk in robe.

The second bedroom on the ground floor is virtually in a wing of its own at the rear of the property, and again, has its own lounge/retreat, and built in robes. It is adjacent to a large bathroom with spa bath, separate shower, vanity and WC.

The kitchen, open plan to a casual living and dining area, features stone benchtops, Miele gas and electric stove top, walk-in pantry, and ample timber cabinetry.

Unique frosted glass and timber doors open into a 'hidden' Butler's kitchen and/or laundry, home to a Bosch washer/dryer, double fridge, and further storage space.

In a bid for peace and privacy, look no further than the living room and library/study on the norther end of the home. Again, come home to phenomenal space to entertain, read, listen to music, work, or watch movies.

Angled exposed timber beams above combine with the cosiness of a gas fireplace and large glass doors opening to the garden.

And when it comes time for special occasions, a hushed formal lounge room with large adjoining formal dining area, more like an English-style conservatory, thanks to an arched white timber ceiling and arched glass doors and windows to the garden, provide the ideal ambience for any event.

Added to the lifestyle element is that the well-tended and peaceful rear garden and terrace alfresco are viewed and accessed from every living space on the ground level, with multi-panelled glass doors bringing the outside in if desired.

Upstairs, a softly carpeted landing with views across the front garden and driveway lead to a third extensive bedroom, one enjoying plenty of natural light and high ceilings. Adjacent is an enormous space, utilised as a home office, but roomy enough for another two bedrooms with a new bathroom. Whatever your requirements, this area is loaded with possibility.

Other features within and outside this lovingly designed property include reverse cycle or split system AC in some areas, electric remote-controlled front gates, pagoda-style stone alfresco accessed via the indoor dining space, artificial grass in the rear, garden pond, fruit trees, camelias and all manner of lush greenery.

A proper wine cellar under the house is great for the discerning wine collector and sommelier, or use it as extra secure storage.

As for convenience, living here means a short stroll to the banks of the Swan River, Dalkeith Tennis Club, Dalkeith Primary School, the bus stops on Victoria Avenue and Dalkeith Village Shopping and Medical Centre. Families will love the space, privacy, the various living areas and the potential to make your mark upstairs and down.
