This leads to a broad hallway which flows to the kitchen, living and dining, above which soars an atrium-style ceiling, flooding this space with light.<br/><br/>Throughout, find timber flooring, stained glass windows, plenty of glass doors out to the greenery, ornate ceilings and the same quality and style in each bathroom and bedroom. <br/><br/>The grand bespoke kitchen is a room in which the entire family will no doubt want to congregate, cook and keep warm in winter, thanks, to two Agas with gas stove tops (one for cooking, one for heat, if you so wish) and a huge timber-topped kitchen island with double sinks. Additionally, enjoy a Miele dishwasher, extensive cabinetry, butler's kitchen with sink, side marble benchtops, large walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelving and two fridge spaces.<br/><br/>Here, glass doors open to a pergola and terrace, ensuring plenty of light reflects beautifully from the chandeliers above the central kitchen island.<br/><br/>Elsewhere on the ground level, this home boasts a sitting room at entry, a formal dining room, side entrance/mud room from the front garage, formal living room, and a sunroom.<br/><br/>Facing Waratah Avenue both upstairs and down are two double-sized bedrooms with walk-in robes and stunning black and white ensuites with separate baths, frameless showers with and English-style, free-standing vanities.<br/><br/>With a seemingly endless ability to offer more space at every turn, find a self-contained apartment on a second level, complete with kitchen, living, two bedrooms, bathrooms, a terrace with views over the entrance garden and stunning tree canopy - even a lawn space that sits atop the kitchen below!<br/><br/>Back downstairs, a large study features phenomenal built-in cabinetry and glass doors out to the garden. From here, stairs lead to a limestone basement, perfect as a music room/studio, while another set of stairs going up brings you to a 'loft' room with its own terrace, bathroom, and split system AC.<br/><br/>Outside, you could be forgiven for feeling immersed in a quaint rural estate, with limestone garden edging dotted with fruit trees, a huge Plane tree to one side and a Morton Bay Fig tree at entry. At the front of the home is a double lock-up garage, and fenced parking for extra vehicles. More parking is possible through the iron gates on the Brockman Avenue side.<br/><br/>This is a prime location, proximate to the Dalkeith Village Shopping Village, Nedlands Golf Club, Dalkeith Primary School, Masons Gardens, and a sweep of riverside walks. <br/><br/>To experience this rare delight for yourself, contact either Peter Roberton, Director of William Porteous Properties on 0427 958 929, or Eric Hartanto, Principal of Hartanto Properties on 0421 272 152, the joint exclusive selling Agents.<br/><br/>SUMMARY:<br/>5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (plus powder room)<br/>1424sqm block<br/>Soaring ceilings, timber floors<br/>Multi-generational living (upstairs loft room, and self-contained apartment)<br/>Huge kitchen, Miele appliances, Aga gas stoves/ovens, butler's kitchen, walk-in pantry, marble benchtops<br/>English-style vanities/marble bench tops/bidets/quality bathroom fixtures<br/>Walk-in & built-in robes throughout<br/>Double lock-up garage/extra storage in garage roof<br/>Extra outdoor driveway parking (fenced)/additional parking off side gates
