A beautifully hand-crafted home nestled amongst the treetops of Darlington in a quiet cul-de-sac, 5 Allan Place is a rare blend of charm, space, and solid craftsmanship - a true family haven set on a sprawling block of more than half an acre.
Built with integrity and bursting with rustic charm, this steel-framed, timber-clad residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a spacious family home surrounded by nature.
Step up through landscaped brick paving and retained garden beds to the home's cabin-like façade, featuring cedar cladding, timber verandas, and raked timber-lined ceilings throughout. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by warmth and rich character - a central steel beam clad in timber, natural pine ceilings, and beautiful light-filled spaces thanks to large windows framing the leafy surroundings. A central timber-clad steel beam runs through the heart of the home, highlighting its thoughtful architecture and robust structure.
The layout offers flexibility for growing families or those working from home, with four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with leafy outlooks and split-system air conditioning. A study or fourth bedroom provides added versatility, as does the games room which acts as the third living space and could be used as a 5th bedroom, if required. Three distinct living zones cater to every lifestyle need - from quiet evenings to family gatherings.
The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the home with relaxing garden views, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and built-in storage behind curtains. The remaining three bedrooms are all a decent size and all all have built-in storage and lovely garden outlooks.
The kitchen is a functional galley style, fitted with a gas cooktop, electric wall oven, dishwasher, and generous walk-in pantry - all overlooking the family area and adjacent to the dining and lounge rooms.
And with three separate living zones: lounge/dining, central kitchen/family room and a large games room or kids' playroom at one end of the home, you'll have plenty of room for everyone.
Outside, this property truly comes to life. Surrounded by native gardens, tall trees, and birdsong, the outdoor spaces are a dream for nature lovers and young adventurers. There are two powered workshops - approx. 6m x 6m and 6m x 4.5m - ideal for tradies, thise who love to tinker, and for storage of extra vehicles, or even an ideal creative space. One features large double doors; the other has wide pedestrian access. Wander through native gardens and fruit trees, relax by the pond, or watch the kids explore the bushland. There's even a sunken space to reintroduce a pool where one once stood.
