Darlington Hills Dreaming
At 12 Montrose Avenue sits a charming, true-blue hills home on a sprawling block with valley views, epitomising a home among the gumtrees and that quintessential Australian vibe. With room to breathe both inside and out and to explore, this home is for those who appreciate their privacy and are looking to spend their evenings recharging from the city in a sun-dappled, fragrant bush setting.
The house is a timber-framed red cedar home with zincalume roof which produces that beautiful pitter patter sound from the rain. Timber floorboards lend a rustic feel to the home, while the multitude of windows allows for gorgeous vistas from all rooms into the native bushland and across the valley. The home currently has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and multiple living areas perfect for a growing family.
Spread over multiple levels, the ground floor hosts a modern chef’s kitchen, dining room and a large light filled living space as well as large entry hall and study. A timber staircase leads upstairs to a large open space and the master bedroom with WIR and ensuite. Downstairs are 3 minor bedrooms with a family bathroom. Outdoor living is taken care of with a traditional Australian style veranda stretching off the rear of the home on the ground level, with treetop views and enough room for summer BBQs with friends.
The bush block and location are the star of this home, with native gardens requiring minimal care and plenty of room for exploring. A separate utility room is also onsite handy for hobbies or extra storage. If you’re looking for a tree change and need a family home ready to move in and enjoy, make time to see this hills home in this quiet cul-de-sac.

History:
Darlington developed as a locality from the establishment of the Darlington Winery in the late nineteenth century. From 1890 to 1954, Darlington was served by the Mundaring Loop on the Eastern Railway, which bisected the town. Darlington was included in ‘picnic’ and ‘excursion’ train itineraries in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1966, the line was officially closed by act of parliament and the tracks removed. The Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, or ‘bridle trail’ as it is known by locals, now occupies the former railway route, and has become a popular walking and bike trail.
Darlington had extensive orchards during the early 20th century. D. H. Lawrence stayed in a local guest house for a short time during his visit to Australia. Guest houses were also used as convalescent homes during the Second World War. By the mid-20th century, many artists had lived in or been associated with the small community. The Darlington Arts Festival, an annual event, has been going for more than 40 years. It includes art exhibitions and other events on the Darlington oval.
