Rare Darlington Opportunity
END DATE SALE: All offers presented to the owners at 2pm 15th February 2023, unless sold prior.
It's not very often the opportunity for a starter or first home comes up in iconic Darlington. It's one of Perth's most desirable suburbs to bring up children, semi-retire peacefully, or start a new chapter. And this sweet little abode is simply bursting with possibilities. It's 100% absolutely and utterly liveable as it is, with its tidy little kitchen, easy clean floors, and air con in all the right rooms. Unlike other homes built in the '70s, it doesn't have any dark or gloomy spots, instead taking full advantage of the dappled Hills light streaming in large windows welcomed by light, neutral colours throughout the main living areas.
However, if you're hankering for a bit of a makeover project, you'll be champing at the bit after checking out the bathroom and you can go to town on Pinterest with the blank slate the laundry offers. Fresh carpets or flooring, a lick of paint in the bedrooms, and so many options for the open plan, informal living space with its cosy slow combustion wood heater. Speaking of do-able renovation, if you've always dreamed of turning some Hills land into your own personal, green oasis, you can absolutely go to town on this yard - or just turn it into a Waterwise, native, almost-zero-care haven. There's already an existing gabled patio in the backyard to work with.
Features Include:
1970s built brick & tile home
Incredible starter or downsizer
3 bedrooms
1 bathroom
Open plan informal living space with easy-clean floors, lots of light & neutral colours
Cosy slow combustion wood heater
Split system air conditioners
Gabled patio entertaining area
Double carport
Old shed
1,262 sqm block (roughly 1/3 of an acre)
Incredibly rentable - investors take note!
We can't make enough of how singular Darlington is as a community - that close knit vibe, fantastic schools, the most beautiful environment, and with access to equal amounts of civilisation (cafes, library, wineries) to nature (Bridle path, walk trails, the quarry). Walk to the 'Village' centre (BYO pup or cricket set or footy), convince yourself you've earned one of the glorious cakes from The Hive, and hit up the skate park. Nearby is also the post office, bottle shop, hairdresser, art gallery and within 10 minutes, everything you need to access via the Midland train and bus station. We don't think this one will last long at all (especially given how perfect it is for investors!)
Make the call - change your life!
