Be sure to view the high definition video to truely appreciate what is on offer.
Ideally located on 1012sqm in one of the quietest and most desirable pockets of Dalkeith just minutes to the river’s edge, this enchanting home also enjoys easy access to excellent schools, boutique shopping and gourmet restaurants.
The original architect, Carolyn Marshall, had a vision for a classic Tuscan aesthetic which has been beautifully complemented by a meticulous renovation to achieve a unique balance of luxury European style and effortless Australian living.
The façade may appear quite formal yet that first impression quickly melts as you find the interior is most definitely that of an enchanting and welcoming family home. Entry through the grand timber doors reveals a double height foyer with a stunning wall of glass designed around a magnificent gently sweeping staircase of travertine and intricate wrought iron.
On the ground floor, you will find an executive home office fitted with a custom-built bookcase and stunning ceiling to floor plush velvet window treatments. Also, on this level is a peaceful guest suite with French doors opening to the pool and a gorgeous full bathroom with a large gilt mirror and just enough colour to brighten anyone’s day!
Everything about the discrete formal lounge and dining room is luxuriously warm and inviting from the fireplace to the gold velvet drapes and the expanse of irreplaceable travertine flooring.
The kitchen has been completely redesigned and is now an exquisite showpiece of custom joinery in imported Italian oak and beautiful marble look stone benchtops with matching splashbacks. You will find nothing less than the highest quality European appliances including a Bertazzoni oven and Vintec wine cabinet while storage options from the main kitchen and concealed scullery are endless. An integrated dining table blends the kitchen into the family room which has a charming fireplace and ceiling to floor drapes for a cosy winter ambience or open all the Palladian doors to the loggia for seamless indoor / outdoor summer living.
During the renovation project, the north facing rear garden and pool area were completely re-landscaped to achieve a sun filled private space perfect for the whole family, entertaining friends or maybe relaxing alone with a good book.
Upstairs the opulent master suite holds pride of place in the north-east wing and has a private balcony overlooking the pool and gardens. The attention to detail during the renovation of this space is second to none from the elegant layered curtains to the handmade Roman bath while the marble slab tiles in the ensuite are breathtaking.
The opposite wing is dedicated to the family with three additional queen size bedrooms as well as a quiet sitting room. All bedrooms have new window treatments and two have double French doors opening to a shared balcony. The beautiful family bathroom has a full-size bath as well as a shower plus the convenience of a separate powder room. A large outdoor patio completes the upper level and this lovely room has a kitchenette and an open fire with chimney making it the perfect spot for a lazy Sunday barbeque lunch.
