There is so much living to be done in this incredible home and so many spaces in which to do it. Soaring 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 benchtops, 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 roofline. 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 has 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 cupola. 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 2,073sqm 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 verandah 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 pool, there is a below ground trampoline, cubbyhouse and playground dotted around the grounds with a back gate leading to the oval.
