So Much Character!
HOME OPEN CANCELLED
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!

Tease some grape vines or wisteria over the pergola, string some fairy lights, and you've got ambience aplenty. Then there's the pool, sparkling and inviting and ready for summer. Let the kids loose and they'll never be bored again. Schools, sports clubs, shops, cafes, and the Hills' iconic winery are all only minutes away, making the location of this property the icing on the Darling(ton) cake.
