Gracious Cape Dutch style home in sought-after Dunkeld
Situated in one of Dunkeld’s finest roads, sits this beautiful Cape Dutch homestead dating back to the 1920’s. Single storey with a charming farmhouse feel, the owners have cleverly updated all the bathrooms and kitchen in the main house, as well as built an entire guest bedroom suite, all in keeping with the original Cape Dutch style of this striking home. This property is a tranquil haven in the heart of suburbia and offers all the benefits of its central location, an opportunity to enjoy community inspired living in a suburb where neighbours support each other and work together to create a relaxed and safe environment..
From the wooden front door, one walks in to the spacious entrance hall through to the formal sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace and on to the welcoming, wide verandah, which flows out to the glorious lawn and garden with a pool. The superbly appointed kitchen is open to the cosy TV room making it the ideal place to prepare and eat meals and spend time as a family. Positioned close to the kitchen is a separate dining room which calls for gracious dinner parties! Off the kitchen is a scullery area and separate pantry. There is also a well-sized study and guest cloakroom.
The bedroom section of the main house consists of a spacious main en-suite bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace and an adjoining room which is ideal as a nursery or sewing room.
