50-52 Dalry Avenue

There are homes that make a statement the moment you arrive and 50-52 Dalry Avenue is one of them. Pull up the circular driveway, step beneath the portico and through the double doors, and you'll immediately understand that this is something a little out of the ordinary. Built for a family that likes to do life properly, this grand residence offers five bedrooms (or four plus study), anchored by a lavish master suite complete with walk-in robe and a twin-vanity ensuite that feels more day spa than family home. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized with built-in robes, and the main family bathroom with shower, bath, twin vanities and separate toilet keeps the morning rush civilised. Pitched ceilings crown the open plan kitchen, meals and living area, where an island breakfast bar, 900mm oven and cooktop, and walk-in pantry do the heavy lifting and the whole space opens directly to a large covered entertaining terrace overlooking the pool and spa. A separate rumpus room means everyone gets their own corner of the house, while 9ft ceilings and stunning spotted gum timber floors set the tone throughout. Outside is where things get truly memorable: the covered entertainer's terrace with travertine tiling flows to a sparkling inground pool and spa, a firepit for the cooler nights, and lush established gardens that are a haven for native birds all complemented by a double garage, workshop, shed and solar panels. Set within a harmonious and tightly held neighbourhood renowned for its sense of community and leafy surrounds, this is Park Orchards at its finest polished, generous and quietly unforgettable.
