5 Dunkley Ave, Applecross is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 6 parking spaces and was built in 1992. The property has a land size of 956m2 and floor size of 450m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2022.
With riverside parkland out front, long views across the water to Dalkeith, and a shore that feels like your own private beach to watch the dolphins and swans, this is a serene location for a much-loved family home. On the market for the first time since it was created by the builder owner for his own family, it is designed for gathering and entertaining, with plenty of space for everyone: pool, poolside studio and kitchen, games room, two living areas, lift, several terraces, and a massive undercroft with extensive parking, workshop, storage zones, and space for the boat.
Arranged around an impressive central staircase, the main living level embraces the river views and flows easily to outdoor terraces to enjoy the natural beauty of the location. A long separate living room has bay windows to the riverside, and overlooks the stunning pool and gardens to the rear.
Facing the river, kitchen with its European appliances, leads to a northern terrace to enjoy the view, and beyond the open-plan living and dining is an impressive games room and bar on the way to another terrace overlooking the pool. The alfresco area is vast, with two gazebos, serene low-maintenance gardens, and a wonderful bonus for family flexibility: a two-roomed studio, bathroom, and a curved kitchen that can open up to the pool for parties and extended family gatherings.
More verandas wrap around the upper floor, and you can step out from the expansive master suite for an even more spectacular perspective on the river. Also on this level is a family bathroom and three more bedrooms, including one with a bay window looking to the water and another with doors to the river front terrace. Everything is inter-connected, with easy internal access from the undercroft to all levels via the lift or stairs.
The home is solar-powered, with reverse cycle air-conditioning, lush reticulated gardens, alarm security, and the wonderful practicality of all of that space for vehicles, boat, kayaks and workshop below.
Here, on the curve of the river at Lucky Bay, is a very special place for the next family privileged to call it home.
