High on the hillside in a leafy, very Darlington cul de sac is this hidden gem. With only a single owner since its construction in 1974, it's now time for the baton to be passed - and for it to be given a bit of a polish to restore it to its former glory. Still in original condition, this 4x1 has endured its fair share of adventures. Continue its journey with a renovation and you'll be rewarded with a totally unique family home that you can continue to make memories in for many more decades yet. Refit the kitchen and bathroom, replace the flooring, and add a fresh coat of paint and you'll be a good part of the way done. So bring your wildest dreams, your enthusiasm, and a bit of elbow grease, and get stuck into it.
There are more than a few features here that you might want to retain, from the architectural to the decorative. And it includes the below ground pool in the backyard.

Inside the house you'll discover beautiful leadlight windows and skylights, arched doorways, a sweet vintage bathroom cabinet, ceiling fans, and ducted aircon, as well as an interesting timber panelled doorway from the entry foyer to the dining room.

It's hard to go wrong when it comes to owning property in Darlington, especially when it's one this size. At over 2,000sqm this is a large block, and best of all it's in a fantastic cul de sac location. Peaceful and located between an assortment of parks and reserves, it's certainly a bit overgrown at the moment but is worthy of some TLC to take it from unruly jungle to lush green haven. The beautiful established trees deserve showcasing, and with some winding paths between flower-filled garden beds, a bird bath or two, and some benches strategically placed in shaded spots, all the magic of this property will be recaptured, and then some. Rope in the handiest green thumbs you know and it'll be a labour of love.
A worthy challenge.

Track propertyThe 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.Â
