2 Browne Avenue, Dalkeith, WA 6009

A home where its architecture shapes emotion should be celebrated. But when its light filled spaces move with the rhythm of daily life, it should be revered. 2 Browne Avenue in Dalkeith eloquently achieves both of these and much more.

An understated six-bedroom, five-bathroom residence, it displays quiet confidence, where materiality, form, and proportion are as compelling as it is calming. The double-height, glazed wall anchors the home's unfolding narrative, allowing sunlight to filter through to each space. A study in restraint, it is an exploration of scale without excess and of luxury without ostentation.

But for all its design prowess this is, primarily, an articulate and highly versatile family home.

Beyond the threshold, the spaces shift effortlessly between grand entertaining zones and intimate retreats. The formal lounge and dining rooms offer poise and are designed for conversations that last well into the evening. The sunken family lounge, separated by an oversized pivoting timber door, invites a slower rhythm, where comfort is given equal weight to its aesthetic.

At its heart, the open-plan kitchen and casual meals area is a triumph in simplicity-clean lines, generous proportions, and a delightful contrast in textures. Natural stone surfaces, handcrafted joinery and extensive storage options offer an incredibly practical zone to connect, create and dwell.

Glass doors dissolve the boundaries between inside and out, leading to an alfresco terrace and beautifully landscaped gardens that stretch its entire frontage. Here, moments unfold naturally-morning light reflecting off the below-ground pool, quiet afternoons shaded by mature trees, and evenings where the stillness of the garden becomes part of the home's design language.

Upstairs, the primary suite is an experience in itself. A curved glass wall frames views over 300-year-old Tuart, Banksia and Redgum trees dotted along the fairways of the prestigious Nedlands Golf Club. A private terrace adjacent to the ensuite facilities provide another vantage point while the bathroom itself is a masterclass in proportion and materiality-a walk-through dressing room, a deep bath framed by a north facing window, an oversized frameless shower, all finished in a palette of stone, timber, and steel.

The textured finishes here are intentional. Soft whites, natural timber, and polished stone create a language of contrast, one that responds to the shifting daylight and the ever-changing seasons. Architectural gestures are subtle but well received -a bold staircase, well positioned windows, bespoke joinery, and highly useable spaces.

And then, there is location. Positioned on one of Dalkeith's most distinguished streets, moments from the Swan River, Claremont Quarter, and some of Perth's finest schools, this is a home that needs little introduction. Capitalising on its rare northern exposure, the design smarts embrace its prime golf course frontage and is ultimately, a home crafted for family.
