11 Douglas Street, Parap NT 820

Feels. How a property feels is one of those things that is hard to define. When it feels right though, you'll know it.

11 Douglas has that indefinable presence to it. It just feels right.

So, let's take a look at what makes this home so special…

Two access points off Douglas St, one through electric gates to the driveway and carport (4 vehicles). The other is through one of the most beautiful tropical gardens you'll find. With an absolutely stunning "raintree" occupying a significant presence, you immediately feel at home and at ease. The garden adds a sense of joy to those who live here and will for those about to make this their home.

The home itself is elevated and renovated. Clad in zincalume colorbond cladding, with banks of louvres, the home is distinctly Darwin from the outset. This is how to live well in the tropics. Two external staircases, one to the front door, the other to the large rear deck. Upon entry (front) you're greeted to freshly polished cypress pine floorboards, a luxurious kitchen, corner bi-folds that open straight to the large timber deck that becomes the epicentre of the home. The deck overlooks the inground concrete pool and the rear gardens.

The kitchen is a standout. Miele appliances, centre bench with an induction cooktop. Stunning stone benchtops. A luxurious kitchen it is. Bathroom, same again. Recently renovated, stylish, spacious and simple. 3 bedrooms upstairs, all with BIR's, fans and air-conditioning. Louvred from floor to ceiling, you get sensational cross ventilation. The gardens also contribute to the houses thermal characteristics, especially the front garden which keeps the home cool. For the most part, you'll live with everything open and enjoy the space, and moderated weather the garden provides.

Downstairs we have another bedroom, with polished concrete floors, built-in robes and direct access via sliding doors to both the front garden and the pool at the rear. Perfect for guests or the well looked after child. A second (separate & renovated) bathroom and laundry are also at ground level.

Significant downstairs entertaining space occupies the rear of the home also, with easy pool access. There's a separate pool house that requires some work to match the rest of the home also.
