THE LIFESTYLE YOU WILL LIVE:
There is so much living to be done in this incredible home and so many spaces in which to do it. Soaring 3.6m ceilings, exquisite period detailing and polished Jarrah floorboards throughout are just the beginning. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is modern yet rustic with timber bench tops, a massive freestanding Falcon electric oven and gas cooktop, and stainless-steel dishwasher.
From the kitchen you can view the activities in the sunken, sprawling lounge and games room. What a sensational space! It has a bar, slow combustion fire, reverse cycle air-conditioner and one of two lofty cupolas drawing your eyes upwards and adding dramatic flair to the roof line. All along this north-facing side of the house, from the living, lounge and games room, there are windows and doors opening out to the glorious alfresco deck, which makes casual entertaining so enjoyable, it'll be an everyday pursuit.
A stately library and sitting room by the graceful foyer have walls bedecked in beautiful Jarrah bookcases and a window seat looking out over the front verandah and lawn. It has a charming fireplace and ornate ceiling roses and cornicing, which feature throughout the home.
You'll feel like the royalty in this master suite. Vast, grand yet simple, this magnificent space has a contemporary, fully renovated ensuite, a walk-in robe and views across the garden to Darlington Oval from the bay window beneath another soaring 8m cupola (steeple). The junior bedrooms are located throughout the house: one overlooking the pool at the front, one by the master, another attached to a walk-through activity/TV room, and another hidden up a winding, wrought iron staircase to the second floor. This loft bedroom has a wall-mounted air-conditioner and its own little activity space next door that would alternatively make a great storeroom. These bedrooms share a powder room and the spacious family bathroom, which like the ensuite, has also been treated to a sleek, modern makeover.
The sprawling, landscaped grounds of this superb property are beautiful without being formal or fussy. A charming white timber portico welcomes guests in from the street down a brick pathway flanked by lawn and the fabulous below ground pool. Elegant wisteria fittingly graces the iron lacework veranda that wraps around from the tandem carport to the alfresco dining terrace and lounge deck on the north side, which sits beneath a lofty gable roof patio. The winter creek that emerges from the ground in the middle of the lawn has been landscaped with granite boulders to create a truly spectacular amenity. Beyond this, a separate gated driveway accesses the powered workshop/double garage. If the kids ever get tired of playing in the concrete below ground pool, there is a back gate leading to the oval and skate park.
This is a premium address in sought-after Darlington where everything is at your fingertips, including a variety of excellent public and private schools, transport links, shops, services, and sporting facilities. It's just a short stroll to Darlington Village or for more substantial shopping head into Midland, which is less than 10 minutes away.
