SPACIOUS HAMPTONS' CHIC
It is tempting to overdo superlatives when describing this property. Designed by renowned Dalkeith architect Marshall Clifton, the original house has been renovated and extended with great panache and superbly maintained. Cool and chic with a modern light colour palette, the interior is a gleaming master class in how a home can conquer time, light and space.
A high vine covered front wall screens the home from the street, giving privacy to a large courtyard at the front of the house - perfect for hors d'oeuvres and cocktails to the sound of water cascading into a pond.
In fact, privacy is a special feature of this home.
Inside, high ceilings, white walls and exquisite natural travertine create a timeless space with a touch of black in the flooring and iron balustrading.
Designed to be the hub of family life, an open plan room stretches the full length of the ground floor, where a meals area, breakfast bar and a world class gloss finished stone bench topped kitchen come together in a dazzling tour de force.
Here is the natural place to share meals, discuss the day and enjoy time together. Formal and informal rooms complete the ground floor and give multiple living options to the whole family.
Level one is young person central with five spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms and an activity room that opens onto an enormous deck with spiral stairs down to the pool.
If you have children, the parent's retreat high above the rest of the house will win your heart. This private
sanctuary has a sweeping river view past the Point Walter spit to East Fremantle where the river turns towards the ocean.
Complementing the Hamptonesque charm of the house perfectly, the lush splendour of the garden is breathtaking. An outdoor kitchen off the alfresco area overlooking the garden is ideal for outdoor living with Perth's exceptional climate. A huge pool with poolside cabana, mature trees, palms, ferns, flowering shrubs and citrus trees transport a tropical resort right into the heart of Dalkeith.
Only a minute's walk from Bishop Park and the river, close to schools, the University and everything a growing family could need, 133 Victoria Avenue encapsulates the luxurious, joyous Australian lifestyle for a family that is looking for space, style and charm in a prime location.
