In the highly desirable centre of Darlington, hidden behind a very private street frontage lies this beautiful resort-style home. Once you enter the property via the private courtyard, the large 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home on a leafy 2,527 m2 block is difficult to leave.
Inside, a lounge area and study enjoy beautiful views over the large deck, to the lush garden, sparkling pool and valley beyond. In fact the home is designed so that all living and entertaining spaces all converge to face this gorgeous view.
The massive master bedroom and ensuite is a true parent's retreat, which brings a sense of peace and relaxation that makes you want to just exhale. The adjoining ensuite is so much more than a stunning bathroom….it doesn't end there, as it continues to a private outdoor garden with a huge stone bath, inviting you to light the candles and sink into the warm water and enjoy romantic uninterrupted views of the night sky.
The huge designer kitchen is part of a large open plan living space and boasts granite bench tops, with waterfall edges, Miele appliances and a huge walk-in butler's pantry. It's perfect for entertaining inside, or the on the deck overlooking the garden and pool. High raked ceilings add to the feeling of space inside this light and bright home. Stunning solid Australian oak flooring runs through the entire house. The north-facing family room makes the most of the sun throughout the day. In a separate wing of the home, a further 3 bedrooms all have built-in robes and access to another beautiful bathroom, with bath, shower and double hand basins.
An impressive self-contained studio with a 5th bedroom, third bathroom and kitchenette overlooks the pool. Whether it's an entertaining space, accommodation for visiting guests, or a beautiful studio to work from home, this is open to so many possibilities. This bright and airy pavilion with reverse-cycle air conditioner, is flanked by 7 metres of solid jarrah bi-fold doors that completely open up the space, for long lazy days spent enjoying the large, custom-built concrete pool with granite pavers and built-in barbecue. There's even a groovy loft space offering multiple possibilities, such as teenager's retreat, another sleeping area or meditation space.
The home sits on a private corner block, offering multiple garden areas to enjoy and something not many Darlington properties have - loads of flat, useable space. Around the property, garden paths lead past stone walls, a kid's tree-house, veggie patch, woodshed and a large garden shed. Pretty, reticulated garden beds, lush green lawns, well established trees and plenty of natives attract an abundance of birdlife.
