40 Beatrice Road

Dalkeith WA 6009

This is everything a family home should be. It's large, luxurious yet laid back, located in WA's finest neighbourhood... and it has sprawling gardens and entertaining areas, complete with an enormous swimming pool, vine draped trellises and majestic gum trees.
Filled with natural light, the home's unique L-shaped layout affords garden access and views from nearly every room. This perfect indoor-outdoor flow sets the scene for any mode of entertaining, and can easily host lively garden parties for several hundred.
This impressive residence has seen many such occasions since it was built, among its notable past owners a mining entrepreneur and philanthropist and the property later became the residence of Nobel Prize laureate who, to this day, is the only laureate born in Western Australia.
Quite an extraordinary residence the open and light-filled design continues to be as stylish and inspiring as the day it was built. The home has been beautifully maintained and extended, including a major addition by acclaimed architect Geoffrey Summerhayes.
One of its special quirks is the secret passage way hidden behind a bookcase in the master bedroom. A long hallway flanked with built-in robes leads through to a secret room, a perfect office away from distractions or a private retreat - its potential is only limited by your imagination...
Among its many other highlights are the sun-drenched balconies, atriums and courtyards that envelop nearly every room; the expanses of formal and casual living areas and the two large studies each wired for broadband.
Sitting on a substantial corner block of approximately 1108sqm, the home is moments from the river, primary school, tennis club and Dalkeith Village. It's a quick drive to the CBD, the coast and the city's most respected schools.
This is a one-of-a-kind property, which offers a lifestyle opportunity most only dream about. Don't delay in expressing your interest.
