Occupying 2,023sqm of prime Darlington real estate, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home epitomises idyllic country living.
Originally constructed in 1921 as one of the first homes in this highly sought-after hills enclave, it was later extended in the 1970s by architect Ken Waldron. This is a prime example of his distinctive design incorporating the natural landscape into the home while accommodating family living with separate and communal areas. His vision can be seen in several other nearby properties - so not only are you investing in a wonderful lifestyle but also in a piece of history through the decades.
And what a lifestyle you and your family will enjoy with so much space for the kids to roam free among nature and wildlife. Summers memories will be created floating around the pool beneath the trees while in the cooler months snuggling around the bonfire roasting marshmallows.
It's easy to see why so many creative souls are drawn to Darlington for the scenery, wildlife and tranquillity. Darlington is proud of its tight-knit community and offers a lively social scene ranging from drinks at the Pines, to catch-ups at the local cafes and Darlington Estate winery (and at the proposed wine bar) and the annual Darlington Arts Festival.
It's just a short walk into Darlington Village, where you'll find shops, cafes, excellent schools, Darlington oval, tennis courts, a skate park, the heritage railway trail, public transport and Juniper Gallery, inspired by former local artist Robert Juniper. Midland, Glen Forrest and Mundaring are a short drive away, as is Bilgoman Aquatic Centre, walking/cycling trails, galleries and several national parks, including John Forrest National Park, as well as Mundaring Weir.
You really need to see this gorgeous hills home appreciate the lifestyle you could enjoy for many years to come. Please don't hesitate to contact Prak on 0402 149 626 to arrange a viewing today.
