This home takes family living and elevates it with unapologetic flair. It's a split-level lbeauty in a cul-de-sac in coveted Darlington for a clever crew who want the best of both worlds - the tranquility and community of a Hills lifestyle plus all the modern luxuries of a comfortable, resort-style environment. The natural flow of the home means every family member is gifted space to make their own from the theatre room (complete with recliners and a 'starlit' ceiling) to the guest house where older children or visiting friends can have independence. Life here could look like plucking fruit from your own trees in the morning for smoothies to afternoons after school splashing about to evenings chatting over a charcuterie board under the soft glow of the kitchen lights. Congratulate future you. You've made it.
Love an entrance? So does this home. Check out that wide welcome with the striking feature wall. The warmth of Blackbutt underfoot is something you'll appreciate complemented by the coolness of limestone walls and the soft, lush quality carpets in every bedroom. The main suite is also tactile sophistication - chandelier-lit, electric roller shutters, and a private view over the pool. The ensuite is straight out of a boutique spa: underfloor heating, dual showers, standalone bath, chandelier and twin vanities. Even the walk-in robe feels curated with an end-to-end dressing space and built-in makeup station. The kitchen is a pristine flex of modern muscle with a list of features and the Butler's pantry is so well set up it's practically a second kitchen (it has its own sink, dishwasher, and endless storage!) The open-plan living will draw everyone together anchored by an open fireplace and framed by plantation shutters. The double sliding doors help blur the line between indoor and outdoor entertaining, and there's even more with an expansive games room and home office that could easily double as a fifth bedroom.
