Dalkeith, 26 Hobbs Avenue – High $8 millions

Natalie HordovWestern Suburbs Weekly

BUILT by Palazzo Homes, this two-storey residence is certainly palatial.

It offers the ultimate in luxury living, yet has an understated elegance, a refined presence.

As you enter the 1017sq m property through twin iron gates, the striking facade, with a textured stone feature walls and overhanging timber-lined porch, makes a striking first impression.

Inside, the home has grand proportions and subtle touches of opulence.

A chandelier cascades through the curved stairwell, there is beautiful, polished Venetian plasterwork in several areas, imported British wallpaper, American oak parquetry flooring, gleaming granite surfaces and an onyx wall that glows at night.

The attention to detail is incredible with leather detailing in the cabinetry in the master dressing room and black suede surfaces for watches and rings in all the dressing rooms, and the porcelain floor tiles that flow from inside to poolside are in perfect alignment.

Whether you are a professional looking to work from home, love to entertain on a small or large scale, or are just looking for a home to accommodate your family, this magnificent residence caters to all needs.

It has a formal reception room, office, theatre room, dining area and huge family area with a double-sided gas fireplace.

The main kitchen has a curved breakfast bar, white lacquer cabinetry and Miele appliances, and there is a second wet kitchen where food preparation can take place out of sight.

There is more living space, with another lounge room, with fireplace, upstairs.

There is no such thing as a minor bedroom in this house, each of the five bedrooms, including the guest suite, has a dressing room and ensuite.

The master has a boutique-sized dressing room and his-and-hers luxury ensuite.

Outside, there is an alfresco area, pool house (or sixth bedroom) with a bathroom, gorgeous pool and a mirrored trompe l’oeil wall.

This highly desirable home is an equally attractive location, close to the river, UWA, private schools and just a short drive from the CBD.
