72 Darlington Road

Darlington WA 6070

Darlington is arguably the most desirable location to live life beautifully in the Hills. Close-knit community, great schools, stunning environment, and nestled in some of the best nature-scapes Perth has to offer. This home delivers all that, plus a whole bundle of bonus benefits, including something not a lot of other Darlington properties can boast: a patch of wonderfully flat lawn. Now a good place to sprawl out and play outdoor games, it was once a grassed tennis court (in fact, the owner will pass on the nets and equipment, if you have a resident budding Australian Open player, so you can use it as such). With a block over 12 acre there is massive potential - think a food forest, perfectly planned vegetable gardens, or build the ultimate resort-style pergola for Summertime soirees while the children splash in the sparkling pool. It's also within walking distance to 'The Village' centre, so your youngens can access the newly refurbished sporting facilities, best skate park in the Hills, and incredible playground (while you partake of delicious afternoon tea at one of the two fabulous cafes). With 5 lovely bedrooms plus 3 well-appointed bathrooms, this storybook-esque charmer has room for a large family or offers the opportunity for grandparents to join the crew and still live semi-independently; the downstairs comes complete with an additional bedroom plus a full bathroom. All the lucky folk who get to live here will be delighted by the city, scarp, treetop, and valley views, perfectly framed by the large timber windows and only a step away with the multiple options for sitting in the afternoon sun and breathing out - there are sweeping verandahs, massive pergolas, and a private, second-floor balcony from the main bedroom. Although the kitchen and main bathroom have already been updated, should you wish to renovate further, you'll be inspired by the Jarrah features, high, timber-lined ceilings, stained glass windows, and antique light fittings.
