Darlington is arguably the most desirable location to live life beautifully in the Hills. Close-knit community, great schools, stunning environment, and nestled in some of the best nature-scapes Perth has to offer. This home delivers all that, plus a whole bundle of bonus benefits, including something not a lot of other Darlington properties can boast: a patch of wonderfully flat lawn. Now a good place to sprawl out and play outdoor games, it was once a grassed tennis court (in fact, the owner will pass on the nets and equipment, if you have a resident budding Australian Open player, so you can use it as such). With a block over ½ acre there is massive potential - think a food forest, perfectly planned vegetable gardens, or build the ultimate resort-style pergola for Summertime soirees while the children splash in the sparkling pool. It's also within walking distance to 'The Village' centre, so your youngens can access the newly refurbished sporting facilities, best skate park in the Hills, and incredible playground (while you partake of delicious afternoon tea at one of the two fabulous cafes).
With 5 lovely bedrooms plus 3 well-appointed bathrooms, this storybook-esque charmer has room for a large family or offers the opportunity for grandparents to join the crew and still live semi-independently; the downstairs comes complete with an additional bedroom plus a full bathroom. All the lucky folk who get to live here will be delighted by the city, scarp, treetop, and valley views, perfectly framed by the large timber windows and only a step away with the multiple options for sitting in the afternoon sun and breathing out - there are sweeping verandahs, massive pergolas, and a private, second-floor balcony from the main bedroom. Although the kitchen and main bathroom have already been updated, should you wish to renovate further, you'll be inspired by the Jarrah features, high, timber-lined ceilings, stained glass windows, and antique light fittings.

There's parking under the 2-car carport plus additional spots for your trailer, caravan, or boat. In the back shared laneway, there's also an extra car park with the Colorbond garage - not that you'll need to use your car much while you're exploring Darlington itself! Walk to the post office, bottle shop, art gallery, and access the spectacular bridle trails that will take you in either direction for long walks and the chance to stop and chat with your new neighbours. In a 10 minute drive, you can be in the heart of Midland and on the train to the CBD or beyond, making this the ultimate sanctuary for busy families.
