Can you imagine loving your home so much you stayed put for nearly 40 years? This is the kind of Darlington darling that'll keep you spellbound, even if you're a frequent flyer on the local Hills properties Facebook pages. After close to 4 decades, the owners of this great character home have decided it's time to pass the baton to another fortunate family. Loaded with 1970s charm courtesy of raked ceilings, brick feature walls, and timber everything, it's ideal for a family that will appreciate that truly unique Hills lifestyle. The kitchen and a few other spaces have enjoyed little makeovers here and there to keep everything fresh and clean, but the overall style of this home has remained true to its roots.
Architecturally designed and multi-level, you can see the thought which has gone into the design of the house to make it family friendly. All bedrooms are generously sized and include built in wardrobes, skylights allow natural light to brighten the living spaces, and the landing features a wonderful floor to ceiling bookshelf that enthusiastic readers will be delighted by. Split system aircon is a useful creature comfort but winters will be enjoyed by the warm glow of the cosy fireplace. Family game nights are on the cards!

The name "Darlington" is derived from adding the English suffix "ton", meaning "town" to the name of the range in the area - Darling Range which was first named "General Darling Range". The name was first used by Dr Alfred Waylen who established the "Darlington Vineyard" here in 1883-4.
Darlington remains one of the few locations in the Perth hills with an early 20th century village ambience. It is known for its vibrant community with seemingly as many committees and groups as it has residents. The suburb has a local general store however residents rely on the the facilities at Midland and Mundaring which are close by. There are also various primary and secondary schools in the area.
