2nd Chance for a Retro Revival
This property is for those willing to get their hands a bit dirty. We'll make no bones about it: it needs a good makeover! But it's confirmed as structurally sound and it's the most unique home you'll probably ever come across, so if you appreciate a bit of charm and quirk in your life - this one's for you. Lean into its original 70s styling and keep features such as the amber glass windows and wood panelling, or mix it up to suit your vision. Either way, the layout - with a courtyard right in the centre of it - is an absolute stunner.
Big open living spaces, high ceilings, and windows of varying heights bring in all that gorgeous Hills light and create a warm vibe. So does the fireplace and feature stonework, both perfect for that winter ambience. The galley kitchen is as 70s as it comes, so consider whipping up some fondue and then enjoying it with friends in the courtyard with a cocktail or two before taking a dip in the pool. Vintage vibes never felt so good.

Boya overview
To supply the stone required to build the groynes at Fremantle Harbour, a Government quarry was established in the hills a little south-west of Darlington. A spur line was run into the quarry from the existing railway and, by July 1901, dozens of iron and hessian huts housing approximately 150 workmen were clustered near the site. In August of 1901, construction began on a railway siding for the use of this settlement and the first name proposed was "Yan-Yeen". This was rejected because of a duplication in Victoria and the Aboriginal word "Boya", appropriately meaning rock/stone, was chosen instead. It was later found that the correct Aboriginal name for the area was "Nyeedoup" but Boya remains appropriate as the Aboriginal sub-tribe who once inhabited the hills were known as "Boya-Ngoora".
