Is there, was there, could there ever be anything more comforting than a home as sweet as this one? In this 1950s-built (with 1970's architect-designed extension), immaculately cared for home, you can experience that feeling every day with a step back in time to a simpler, gentler lifestyle from an era where things were built to last. Picture warm afternoons on the cool verandah, watching the kids disappear into a world of their own in the sprawling, green and growing backyard. Imagine yourself curled up next to the crackling slow combustion wood heater in the front lounge, or taking a quiet moment to yourself in the back sunroom with its raked ceilings and exposed timber beams. Just down the hall awaits three bedrooms, the main with a ceiling fan for Summers and the secondary with sweet, vintage wallpaper that's just as darling today as it was the moment it was chosen because this home has been loved and maintained for its entire existence.
We know not every day can be as idyllic and carefree as it was in your childhood, but you can still be delighted by hidden treasures in adulthood. With a little work, you'll be able to transform this open-plan kitchen and meals area into a real treat to spend time in. It already has all the inviting ambience that wraps you up like a hug. The galley kitchen has some ripper timber cabinets and the original tiled flooring, so even if a reno is on the cards, you may want to keep some of the authentic features. This meticulously maintained, one-owner home, where three children were lovingly raised, may just be the next adorable chapter of your own family's story.

Speaking of, there are a hundred different ways to be part of this close-knit 'village'; join the local cricket club, take the pup for a walk at Darlington Oval or the kids for a play at the playground, meet for coffee and cake at a choice of cafes or the winery for a tipple, or put on your walking shoes and hit some of the best nature walks and trails in Perth.
