Darlington WA 6070

There's a reason 'location, location, location' is a standard catch-cry in real estate, and this property proves it. The views from this beautiful Darlington block are simply stunning and capture the fruit tree-filled gardens below as well as the valley to the south. It's also close to town, with less than a 10 minute walk to cafes, sports facilities, and schools. So if your priority is the location of your new home, this one will fit the bill perfectly. Constructed in the late 1950s and extended since, the large house offers plentiful space plus interesting textures and features such as timber accented everything, exposed brick walls, bay windows, and wonderful leadlighting. It is partway through another renovation, however, so you'll have to be willing to pick up where the owners have left off. If you happen to be a fan of rolling up your sleeves and applying some elbow grease, this gem could be polished up in no time flat, and ultimately see you with the renovation of your dreams in the best little spot in the hills. Features Include: - Built in 1958 & extended over the years- 3 good sized bedrooms - 2 bathrooms- Bonus study or reading room- Lounge with open fire- Big country kitchen- Meals and family rooms- Downstairs kids activity room- Double carport- 6m x 9m shed- Numerous fruit trees featured in gorgeous, established outdoor garden areas- Extensive rock walls & ponds- 2238sqm block (over half an acre)- Opposite Darlington Primary- Walk to the centre of Darlington Village While the house itself needs some work, you'll only need to step outside on the heavy lifting days to be reminded why you chose this spot. Be enchanted by lush gardens that have been established for many years. Green thumbs needn't start from scratch but simply enjoy the plants that already exist here- and add more of their own! Ponds and rock walls add that rustic touch and are in keeping with the natural Darlington surrounds. The big shed is also a handy feature, catering to those with a handful of toys to store, or the resident handyperson, artist, or mechanic. Set on a block of over half an acre, this property is a sought-after size in a sought-after location, so don't overlook it.Bring your renovation project to life.For more information on 5 Amherst Avenue Darlington or for friendly advice on any of your real estate needs please call Lindsay or Shirley 0414 996 706
