Tucked within a beautiful tree canopy on one of Dalkeith's most covetable streets, this single level, effortless residence is a peaceful respite from modern life, ideal for people of all ages and stages.
From the four, good-sized bedrooms, study, and two bathrooms, to two large living rooms (plus a retreat or second study area) a front, north facing patio and alfresco, fully reticulated gardens behind a secure perimeter wall, with and triple carport, there is plenty of ease, comfort, and bright and breezy spaces to ensure everyone has a place to wind down or entertain.
Throughout much of the home, soaring, 3.6m timber ceilings and timber floorboards imbue a sense of natural earthiness. Coupled with ample sliding glass doors, garden-facing windows and an open plan kitchen and casual living area, the sense of space is amplified.
An inviting glass-encased entry foyer with the high ceilings that typify this property is a great introduction to the home.
The true heart of the home is found in the generous kitchen, living and casual dining, where the beautiful timber design and vaulted ceilings really come alive and established garden surrounds breathe life into every corner.
An extensive central stone island and breakfast bar complement sleek top and bottom cabinetry, ample pantry space, double fridge space, Miele ovens, gas stove top and dishwasher. All this overlooks the casual living and dining, as well as the easy-care gardens.
Located in its own 'wing' of the home for added peace and quiet, find a main bedroom with double built-in robes, a fully tiled ensuite with timber ceiling, a frameless rain shower, and towel heating. It looks into private gardens and has a peaceful ambiance.
Adjoining is an office with built-in storage, ideally positioned to make the most of the peace and quiet.
The remaining three bedrooms are all located adjacent to one another down a small set of steps. Fantastic for visitors, growing kids, or visiting grandkids, these rooms all enjoy built-in robes and entry straight out into a casual retreat, play or study area.
The family-sized bathroom has a separate bath, and large vanity, and adjoining a powder room with separate WC and garden-facing wet room with a spa bath. Additionally, this area boasts a separate laundry with side access to the drying court.
For more formal occasions, a carpeted living room with dining area is found adjacent to the kitchen and it is immediately apparent that this space lends itself to special gatherings, dinner parties, or simply getting away from it all. Surrounded by the greenery outside, this area really offers a sense of seclusion and peace.
Throughout, find ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, extensive storage, and recessed or pendant lighting.
Outside, the front north-facing gardens are the perfect place for entertaining or relaxation. Choose from the covered stone patios accessed directly from the house, or a paved alfresco adjoining the steeped stone and grass garden, lined with graceful trees and limestone walls, and boasting a corner water feature.
Completing the picture is a front triple carport and wide driveway, ensuring parking for various vehicles.
Of course, location here is paramount. You are on the river end of Viking Road, and with that a short stroll to the water's edge and the riverside parks and beaches for which the location is famous. It is less than 10 minutes on foot to Dalkeith Primary School, Dalkeith Village Shopping and Medical Centre. Around the corner is the Dalkeith Tennis Club.
Whether you're a busy professional on your own, a single parent, a couple, a family with young kids, teenagers coming and going or downsizers with grandchildren and family members regularly visiting, this home is your opportunity to live in a beautiful location, near the river, in a beautiful suburb, with every amenity in close proximity.
