18 Gilbert Street is just that. Set in a tranquil, tropical native garden and in a safe, quiet neighbourhood. Perfect for a discerning buyer where residents can unwind, enjoy their space with privacy and a relaxed resort vibe. Welcome home.
The property has a double-gated vehicle entry and a small pedestrian gate, leading you through paved paths and gardens to the shaded under-the-house entertaining and games areas on the ground level. These large spaces are ideal for birthday parties with easy access to the in-ground spa with its cascading waterfall.
Upstairs, the home has a generous living room with solid timber floors and sliding doors that pull back to create a seamless flow between the living area and an expansive deck that looks over the spa, the shady garden and where the afternoon cool breezes arrive daily.
The kitchen has wrap-around counters, overhead storage space, a dishwasher and a new gas oven. There is a separate dining room nearby with additional dining and lounging spaces on the deck .
Down the hallway, past the modern main bathroom with bath/shower and toilet, are three bedrooms with built-in robes, including the large master bedroom suite with views over the spa. The sounds of birds and cascading waters of the spa are a perfect way to relax.
Upstairs there is a descending internal staircase to the lower level large bedroom/bedsit with two external doors. One leads to the spa, the other to an under-the-house sitting area, the second full bathroom, and a galley kitchen opposite the laundry. The facilities at this level make it perfect for guests, a teenage retreat or independent living.
Importantly, the home has had significant architectural improvements built to cyclone code: the key extensions include the deck, master bedroom and downstairs bedsit, which serves as a cyclone shelter. The original structure (an historic Darwin classic C1 design) has also been strengthened, contributing to its proven resilience over the years.
The garden is fully fenced with an additional garden gate leading to the green belt that runs beyond the perimeters of the home, with a short walk through to Richardson Park.
