ON A PARTICULARLY LUSH 2526 SQM, STANDS A HOME THAT HAS HAD 3 OWNERS SINCE BEING BUILT IN 1927. THERE ARE VARYING OPINIONS AS TO THE BUILD DATE BUT THE ORIGINAL OWNERS GRANDDAUGHTER IS CONVINCED THIS IS CORRECT. THE 'ABBOTT' FAMILY OWNED THE PROPERTY BETWEEN 1927 AND 1971. THE CURRENT OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THE OLD IRON ROOF (2008), THE SEPTIC TANKS AND LEACH DRAINS (2005), REWIRED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE HOME, REPLACED NEARLY ALL CEILINGS, RENOVATED THE KITCHEN AND REPLACED THE SOLAR HWS IN 2008. THEY HAVE RENOVATED THE BATHROOM, AND MADE A FEW INTERIOR ALTERATIONS TO 'OPEN' THE LIVING AREAS. THEY HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE FRONT TIMBER VERANDAH BOARDS AND ADDED DUCTED EVAPORATIVE A/C. THIS IS A 'QUEENSLANDER' CHARACTER HOME WITH JARRAH FLOORS (MOST BENEATH TIMBER LAMINATE FLOORING), 3 METRE HIGH CEILINGS AND MATURE GRACEFUL GARDENS IN A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION IN THE CENTRAL VILLAGE AREA OF DARLINGTON. A LARGE, NOW 'OPEN' PLAN LOUNGE AND DINING AREA WITH FEATURE TUCK-POINTED FIREPLACE BACK TO BACK WITH THE KITCHEN, BOTH WITH SLOW COMBUSTION WOOD STOVES. THE VERY SOLID KITCHEN HAS BEEN BRIGHTENED AND ENHANCED WITH A 900MM GAS TOP OVEN. THERE ARE 3 VERY LARGE BEDROOMS (FRESHLY PAINTED) AND A STUDY. THERE IS A LOCKABLE SLEEP-OUT AND UNDER HOME STORAGE INCLUDING BUILT-IN SHEDS. A SINGLE GARAGE IS IN PLACE - THERE IS ROOM FOR A DOUBLE. THE OWNERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR WORK IS FAR FROM COMPLETE - AND MORE RENOVATING IS REQUIRED. A CHARMING PROPERTY IN A LOVELY SPOT.
