43 Jutland Parade

Dalkeith WA 6009

Situated on one of Australia's most exclusive streets, peering out over the wide expanse of the Swan River's Melville Water - a view stretching out over to Point Walter and Mosman Park beyond - lies a Dalkeith executive residence of exceptional character, quality and architectural integrity. Built in 1937 in the seminal late Art Deco style, 43 Jutland Parade is remarkable in its ability to transport you back to a time of burgeoning elegance, simplicity and symmetry - while its modern refurbishments cover all expectations of comfort and luxury. Geometric and decorative in the details, the essence of the design takes in gentle curvature that not only adds a nautical dimension to its front faade and living spaces, it also gives one a sense of actually voyaging on a great ocean liner. Consider its endless balcony that traces the perimeter of its structural contours, wander around and take in the elevated view from almost any vantage pointInside, the sense of scale is immediate. Five grand bedrooms - each considerably more spacious than the modern standard - soar beneath gallery-height ceilings adorned with detailed cornicing in a unique ornamentation. Every surface, from the polished Jarrah floorboards to the sculptural architraves and original fireplaces, speaks to a period of handcrafted excellence which exudes quality and passion.Upon traversing the welcoming entry foyer, a voluminous ballroom-like lounge emerges with cascading window hangings, flowing seamlessly to a dining space just as suited to black-tie banquets as Tuesday night barbecues. Speaking of, when it comes to options for alfresco dining and entertaining, you're spoilt for choice, with either poolside environs or an elevated option overlooking the quiet greenery of the David Cruickshank Reserve arrayed there and ready.Served by Jutland Parade's natural elevation and capitalising on its commanding location, no matter where you are in this house you'll feel a connection to your surroundings. While some larger residences can feel a little gloomy even at midday, 43 Jutland Parade is generally filled with soft, radiant sunlight: yet despite the abundance of glazing, it gets the ratio just right, allowing for privacy and containment while the temperature remains stable in Perth's hot summers. There's even an original, immaculate 1930's bathroom in resplendent jade green: a vivid display of 1930's craftsmanship at the pinnacle of its design phase. At home perhaps in New York's Chrysler Building, so flawless is the workmanship you'd think it was done yesterday, not 90 years ago.And that's the overarching principle here: even a well-maintained residence doesn't necessarily endure for almost a century without a foundation built on true craftsmanship and quality. Even the contours of the pool echo the pattern of the fireplaces, as if the house itself speaks in a private rhythm: a language of its own. Outside, rose gardens - now over half a century old - bloom with generational pride. They, like the house, seem to have always belonged - but it doesn't feel dated. The human pursuit for permanence - somewhere that's secure in its own skin in an otherwise ever-transforming world - is very much on show here. With 43 Jutland Parade, you get a sense you've really arrived somewhere. You just might have come home.
