Design Features:
OPEN-PLAN: Designed to make the most of Perth’s climate
FRENCH STYLE: Rich, walnut stained heringbone French
and scope for indoor-outdoor entertaining, the open-plan living
area opens up to the alfresco. Both formal and informal living
spaces give a choice of zones for entertaining any style or scale.
oak floors run throughout the open-plan living spaces, study and
to the landing of the grand staircase.
GARDEN QUARTERS: In the garden, a self-contained
studio apartment was designed to be the perfect guest wing,
teenage retreat or au pair apartment. Quaint sloping ceilings
lend to its cosy feel with a picture window from the bedroom,
offering a glittering outlook across to the pool. Beneath the
apartment is a four-car garage, accessed from a rear-of-way with
covered access to the home.
EYE-CATCHING: Spread over three levels, the classic
symmetry of the home’s elevation is even more stunning paired
with the sweeping cobblestone horseshoe drive and marble
entry portico flanked by Plantation-style columns.
STREET APPEAL: Set amidst tall green trees on its
prestigious Dalkeith street, the home nestles comfortably into
the streetscape, giving the historical impression that it could
have always been there.
WELCOME: In the quiet locale, there’s nothing to be heard
but the trickle of the water fountain as one approaches the
sweeping cobblestone drive. The black marble portico with high
gloss black lacquered double doors, inspired by London terrace
homes, gives way to an entrance designed to leave a lasting first
impression.
ENCHANTING ENTRANCE: With its soaring ceilings,
highly polished Marquina and Carrera marble checkerboard
floors, ornate chandelier and grand wraparound oak staircase,
the entry foyer sets the scene for the rest of the home.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME: In the entry foyer, the
black and white marble floors are complemented by bolection
moulding and high white skirtings, blending classic English
manor elements with Hamptons influences.
BEDROOM RETREATS: Six bedroom suites include the
capacious master suite, where a Sex and the City style dressing
room has a makeup table and central jewellery island with
beautiful French doors that open onto a marble-tiled balcony.
SOAK IN STYLE: In the master ensuite, a freestanding
clawfoot tub stands on a marble plinth; the centerpiece of the
room.
CLASSIC KITCHEN: The classic kitchen features granite
benchtops and an endless scullery with pantry, caterer’s entry
and large cool room.
EVERYTHING - INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK: Every piece
of this home is of the utmost quality – including the kitchen sink,
an original Shaw’s butler’s sink specially imported from the UK.
DRAWING ROOM: A marble gas fireplace lends a cosy
touch to the drawing room.
ALFRESCO KITCHEN: Like the rest of the home, the
copper cabinetry to the alfresco kitchen was chosen so it would
age gracefully, acquiring a beautiful patina as the years pass.
