A gorgeous faux stone veneer façade, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and distinguished provincial architecture make 46 Manning Boulevard, Darley, a residence of undeniable presence. The approach ascends the hillside via a stamped concrete driveway, revealing a separate parking area before arriving at the home, where diamond-cut concrete and meticulously landscaped surrounds complement its distinctive exterior. Beyond the striking first impression lies a thoughtfully composed residence featuring four oversized bedrooms, three beautifully appointed bathrooms and an exceptional connection between its interiors and outdoor entertaining spaces.
Upon entry, a dedicated guest suite offers privacy and comfort, ideally separated from the remaining accommodation. The home then unfolds into an expansive living domain, where stepped cornices, extended skirting boards and hybrid flooring reinforce the considered provincial aesthetic. Generous living and dining zones flow effortlessly together, creating an inviting setting for intimate family occasions and larger gatherings alike.
The kitchen is a defining feature, pairing timeless shaker cabinetry with decorative-edged speckled granite benchtops, a statement barn-style sink and premium SMEG appliances. Rich in character and thoughtfully integrated with the adjoining living and dining areas, it balances traditional craftsmanship with the functionality expected of a contemporary home.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with two further oversized bedrooms leading to a substantial main suite that offers a private retreat within the home. The ensuite introduces Calacatta marble tiling within the shower, stone benchtops and a colonial-style vanity. The remaining bathrooms continue the home's attention to detail, each featuring an oversized frameless shower, while the central bathroom is further appointed with a freestanding bath.
The grounds extend the home's appeal well beyond its interiors. A wraparound veranda traces the residence, creating a seamless transition between indoor living and the surrounding landscape. A private viewing platform capitalises on the elevated position, while a separate entertaining area and tranquil water feature establish distinct spaces for hosting guests or enjoying a quieter moment outdoors. The fully landscaped setting brings cohesion to the property, enhancing its presentation and sense of privacy.
Further complementing the residence is a substantial powered barn, finished in matching faux stone veneer to maintain the architectural integrity of the main home. Offering versatility for a workshop, storage or specialist pursuits, it provides valuable additional functionality while remaining consistent with the property's established character.
This property brings together distinctive provincial design, enduring materials and an elevated setting in a residence unlike any other. From its commanding façade and carefully considered interiors to its landscaped surrounds, private viewing platform and matching powered barn, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a home defined by individuality, craftsmanship and presence.
