68 Minora Road, Dalkeith, WA 6009

AUCTION ON SITE SAT 22ND FEB AT 3PM (Unless Sold Prior)

Comfortably nestled on a sprawling quarter-acre block, this unassuming 5 bedroom 3 bathroom family gem surprises with a flexible and functional floor plan that adapts to your lifestyle. 

This exceptional property was carefully selected for its premium locale and the powerful significance of the number 68, renowned for symbolising luck and prosperity in modern culture. Designed to be both beautiful and unique, the home is the result of a year-long collaboration between a skilled Feng Shui master and architect, ensuring every detail aligns perfectly with the family's astrological and BAZI destiny analysis. The end product is a one-of-a-kind residence, thoughtfully crafted to enhance both aesthetic appeal and positive energy flow.

This prime location puts everything at your fingertips, just footsteps from our picturesque Swan River and the lush green parklands that so beautifully frame it. Stroll to Dalkeith Primary School, local cafes, restaurants and the ever-handy IGA supermarket on Waratah Avenue. 

As for the house itself, whether you embrace its original circa-1950s character or add your own personal modern touches throughout where you see fit, the smart layout and generous indoor-outdoor space make it the perfect place to grow, entertain and make your mark. 

A gorgeous white picket fence and double driveway gates not only secure some extra parking space in front of the garage, but also create a safe haven for your kids and pets to run around in. The latter is also prevalent within the most expansive of tree-lined backyard settings - home to green lawn, a huge below-ground swimming pool and a terrific poolside entertaining patio.

However, it's the residence's north-facing frontage that will capture your imagination right away, as well as its striking tiled sunroom entrance. A carpeted front lounge room warms you with its Regency gas log fireplace, before leading through to the formal dining room - also carpeted for comfort and boasting a split-system air-conditioning unit for climate control.

The bedrooms are carpeted also, inclusive of a generous front master suite with split-system air-conditioning, a lovely northern aspect to wake up to, a walk-in dressing room with ample storage and built-in-wardrobe space and a neutral ensuite bathroom - shower, toilet, vanity, heated towel rack, heat lamps and all. The main family bathroom is nice and practical, comprising of a bathtub with a showerhead, a toilet, vanity, heat lamps and a skylight for natural illumination.

A huge second bedroom has its own retreat area, as well as a split-system air-conditioner and full-height built-in-robe and storage options. The central kitchen is graced by low-maintenance timber-look floors and features another skylight, alongside a stainless-steel range hood, a Westinghouse Silhouette gas cooktop, a Chef oven/grill, a stainless-steel Venini dishwasher and an adjacent casual-meals area.

Down below, the commodious family room is the ideal second living zone with high raked ceilings, split-system air-conditioning, easy-care floors, its own Regency log fireplace and direct alfresco, pool and yard access. Large third and fourth bedrooms also sit off here, with both having built-in robes and storage cupboards, split-system air-conditioning units and sharing semi-ensuite access into a connecting third bathroom - Roman bath/shower, toilet, heat lamps, twin-vanity basins and all.

Off the kitchen, the separate laundry features storage, a heated towel rack and external/side access for drying. The wildcard in the floor plan sits off the family room though - a fifth bedroom-come-study with matching floors, its own high raked ceiling, stylish light fittings and the potential to convert into a nursery too, if need be.

Love a social match? The Dalkeith Tennis Club and Nedlands Bowling Club are just around the corner. Need to venture further? Claremont Quarter's vibrant shopping scene, top private schools, the University of Western Australia, premier medical facilities and even the Perth CBD (less than 15 minutes away) are all within easy reach. 

A rare find with room to move, this one is an absolute must-see, in the heart of riverside Dalkeith.
