Description

Dunlin House is an impressive family home in a wonderful private setting on Dalmuinzie Road, one of Aberdeen's most prestigious addresses. The grounds extend to 2 acres with private paths around the pond and through the wooded grounds which offer delightful amenity. Built in 1988, the property was designed to take full advantage of the setting with large windows and glazed doors overlooking the wooded policies and beautiful large pond.   The current owners have carried out significant upgrades including reconfiguration of the accommodation, a new kitchen and new bathrooms. The property has versatile accommodation including a large open plan formal sitting room, three en suite bedrooms, two further bedrooms, a gym, family room and study. The kitchen is a great family space with dining and sitting area overlooking the pond.

Double electric gates allow access to the sweeping tarred drive which leads to a large parking area adjacent to the front of the property and on to a separate gated exit.   An entrance vestibule with an abundance of natural light has excellent built in storage. The hall leads past two versatile rooms which are currently used as guest bedrooms and a modern bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate large walk in shower. At the end of the hall is the impressive central atrium with cupola and oak staircases to the upper and lower levels.

The atrium is open plan to the elegant sitting room which is a generously proportioned room with triple aspect floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden.

The heart of the home is the inviting dining kitchen which has a prime location within the property and occupies the whole of the lower ground floor. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed around the garden views with floor to ceiling triple aspect windows next to the dining and sitting areas which bring in an abundance of natural light. A central woodburning stove framed by large windows either side, makes a fine focal point. The kitchen has been finished to the highest standard with Sub Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances complementing the stainless steel and wood cabinets. Integrated appliances include double ovens, induction hob with overhead extractor fan and griddle, two wine fridges, dishwasher, microwave, two fridge freezers, warming drawer and double fridge drawers.   The large island with ample worktop space and the induction hob extends to a dining table.

The ground floor also includes a study, family room, gym, conservatory, utility room with pantry, library/storage room and boot room with WC.

The study is a fantastic versatile space with glazed doors to the front of the property and a built in bookcase. The gym is a light-filled room with wooden floor and a mirrored wall. Off the gym is a conservatory which is the perfect spot to relax and has doors to the garden. The utility room is accessed from the gym and is fitted with wall and base units.
