Designed by renowned architect Garry Marinko, Dalkeith's 'Poll House' is an exceptional three-bedroom home with ensuite bathrooms with an ancillary villa at the rear of the property. The House boasts bold design elements. Weaving semi-industrial features of insulated and polished concrete and soaring, curved ceilings with louvered skylights. Merging clever design features and contemporary elements, this home's attention to functional and aesthetic details must be seen to be believed.
Apart from the spectacular Jarrah sculpture that greets you at the front door, the simplicity of the residence's street front hides the extraordinary delights within. Step inside and be greeted by polished concrete walls that envelope the entrance, leading to a spacious open-plan living/dining, a magnificent central focal point area that overlooks the impressive central courtyard and its mature shade Plane tree. Slide open the expansive sliding doors that flow to this incredible space, which twice played host to the Australian String Quartet, and you have an unrivalled entertainment/alfresco area that easily doubles as a relaxing retreat under dappled shade.
Boasting two courtyards in the main home, interior and external spaces cleverly merge. Boasting a contemporary kitchen, study, reading zone and workstation, space is abundant for all family members.
All three bedrooms in the main house feature their own ensuite with the main bedroom overlooking a light-filled internal courtyard, and features a mix of polished concrete, glass and warm timber, its curved wall behind the bed and timber shower decking in ensuite lending a natural aesthetic and open-air feel.
Another fabulous feature of this home is its fully self-contained villa at the rear of the property. Private and secure, it has a one carpeted, bedroom with floor-to-ceiling robes, a well-appointed kitchen, open space living/dining areas and bathroom/laundry with a fully enclosed, private courtyard, replete with mature tree providing a shady canopy. The villa serves as a tranquil space for guests, full-time parents living onsite, or an ideal zone for the university student, or artist in residence looking for a quiet reprieve. With private access to Tree Martin Lane and garage, this is the perfect add-on to compliment a home already gracing so much space.
All seasons are covered with a sparkling solar heated pool providing a cool reprieve in summer months while you'll feel like you're on holiday in winter with your very own private steam room to take care of the winter blues. Evening luminosity is of a different kind in the main home with light emitted from hidden sources above cabinets and fibre optic flooring lending a special touch.
With zero steps to ensure a seamless flow between spaces and easy wheelchair access, no stone has been left unturned in what has to be one of Dalkeith's most prized homes, one that has featured in over 20 prestigious Australian and international books and magazines, a testament to its unique aesthetic in both form and function.
Combined with its proximity to prestigious schools, leafy parks, and quality shopping and just a short walk to Swan River and nearby Dalkeith Village and local cafés, this home couldn't be better positioned to enjoy the spoils of a beautiful, riverside lifestyle in arguably Perth's most desirable suburb.
