What's around Glen Road

House description

“ASPECT & PROSPECT”

The two most important qualities for a desirable property are aspect and prospect said Leslie Wilkinson, the founding dean of the faculty of architecture at the University of Sydney.

1190 Glen Road, Darlington is a perfect example of a property Wilkinson would consider desirable, with both a strong northern orientation and a wonderful deep, aspect across parkland and a treed creek-line.

This tranquil property is almost unique with its rural atmosphere created by 4 acres of land brought under cultivation in the 1890's, and yet is remarkably close to good schools, the centre of the hamlet of Darlington (enjoy the stroll), Midland (10 minutes), access to the airport (20 minutes) and Perth CBD (30 minutes).

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial property that could invite construction of a classic dream double story home that would possess superb northern light and unbeatable valley views.

In the meantime however, resting on the property is a very comfortable and substantially restored 1980's brick and tile 4 x 2 country home with an excellent 144 sqm stable 60m away.

The house is approached from Glen Road by a shady and cool gumtree-lined avenue of 75m.

THE HOUSE has very high ceilings and is really conveniently designed with the master bedroom and en-suite bathroom plus a child's bedroom or home office on one side. On the other side are two bedrooms (one a double) with the family bathroom and laundry. These spaces are divided from each other by the kitchen/family/dining area and a separate lounge.

At the front door and family room entrance there is an extensive undercover outdoor area suitable for an outdoor kitchen that flows through to long wide verandahs providing an enormous space for children or for entertaining.

Located at the end of a private driveway, this property is surrounded by very good neighbours and will suit people looking for room to move into a secure location. Glen Road at this point is not a through-street meaning that traffic is completely local.

This property offers a peaceful lifestyle on a large level block where you can spend quiet time with your friends away from the humdrum of typical urban life, enjoy the northern aspect and know that children are safe. Of course everything needed to involve you or your children in equestrian pursuits has been done, and large flat spaces offer room for jumping and dressage without the need for a formal arena.
If you would like to know more about this property or if you would like a relaxed private viewing, please call Lil on 0449 905 406.
