Where? Fannie Bay, near the Racecourse. Parsons St. One direct neighbour only. Great spot. If you’re a local Darwin person, you’ve been past it a million times. It’s now leafy and green, and very discreet.

The Home…
Elevated, and original. It’s been home to a long time Darwin family, so, there’s much to tell.
The home is also best viewed in real life – you’ll get a far better appreciation of what’s on offer this way.
Who’s this home for? It’s for those that want AAA location and are happy to do the work. A restorative project it is. The home is absolutely livable, and totally functional. It’s not modern, nor does it have what many expect when buying a new home. What it does have, and it has it in spades, is the scope to be re-imagined into an amazing home. Thers gardens, rooms downstairs and of course the location. A new chapter is now commencing.
Location is a quiet tree lined street with the racecourse nearby; the property is shaded by a historic tree standing sentinel in the front yard. Theres plenty of shade covering the property, and it’s a welcome respite from the Darwin heat. It’s also a statement to the passage of time. Both the tree and the family are part of the story – a symbiotic relationship it’s been.
Tropical gardens with a mix of natives encase the home sitting on a generous 1050 m2 block of land.
The home itself is a Territory icon – an elevated 3-bedroom home with 2 office / bedrooms built in underneath. Upstairs the home is warm and inviting, filled with memories and trinkets that showcase years of Territory living. The kitchen has built in storage and an arched doorway that connects through to the adjacent living and dining areas that have timber flooring and large windows banks that frame the treetop views. Down the hallway there are three bedrooms all with tree/garden views. The bathroom with a shower screened in the original yellow glass panels synonymous with the 70’s era and contrasting mosaic tiled flooring.
The current owners have decided to sell via the easiest method in today’s market, and that’s simply come and have a chat to me, darren@central, and I’ll show you why it just makes sense.
