Built in the late 1960s and extended in the 70s, this home is all laid-back cool without the kitsch. Ascend the Jarrah staircase with its retro glass pendant into the soaring vaulted space of the second storey, which contains the master suite and office. The large master bedroom has a huge picture window, which maximises the treetop view and the light facilitated by the glorious elevation of this house and the steep slope of the neighbouring bush reserve and Convict Creek. Block-out gold drapes ensure this west-facing window doesn t heat up the space in which there is also a reverse cycle air-conditioner, large built-in dresser, walk-through robe and ensuite. The office next door would be great for a home business with its own external entry door that leads to a large east-facing sun deck, one of several fantastic outdoor entertaining spaces.
The front door opens into the main tiled living room, which has raked ceilings, a corner slow combustion fire, reverse cycle air-conditioner and a bar making good use of the space under the staircase. There s a sliding door out to yet another alfresco dining area, which connects with the long patio that runs the length of the house and morphs into a wisteria arbour.
The family-sized renovated kitchen has white cabinetry and ample charcoal benchtops with an electric oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, built-in pantry and an informal meals area. The formal lounge is spacious enough to also host a large dining set or perhaps a piano or special furniture piece. The stone open fireplace is a lovely focal point and looks great against the Jarrah floorboards. French doors lead down the hallway to the shared bathroom, laundry and junior bedrooms that are anything but junior in size. Spacious with big windows to the garden, Jarrah floorboards, generous built-in robes and dressers, and a reverse cycle air-conditioner in one these are superbly comfortable rooms.
Like many properties in Darlington, this 2,050sqm sloping block facilitates a multi-level home built into the hillside. It boasts a rare white quartz deposit that has been used to build many of the stone steps and pathways that meander through the garden. A sealed driveway leads to a double auto garage (and additional parking) next to which there is a huge brick paved area, a powered shed and a fantastic entertaining gazebo. Twinkling city lights can be clearly seen from this elevated platform above the street. What an incredible place to entertain and relax with friends!
Direct access to the highway means this convenient property is barely 10 minutes from Midland, close to the Swan Valley and flanked by the green belts of Greenmount and John Forrest National Parks. This interesting property has too many wonderful features, nooks and crannies to describe. Only a viewing will suffice.
