Truly One-Of-A-Kind Retreat

Back on the market: Take advantage of this second chance to own this remarkable property.

Whether you're looking for something truly unique for yourself as a main residence, a weekender, or your future Airbnb guests, you can only imagine what it's like to escape into nature here. Be mesmerised by the stunning vistas of the Darling Scarp and twinkling lights of Perth City through the large, timber-framed windows every single day. This is a one-of-a-kind elevated haven boasting breathtaking views, modern amenities, a bonus room to use as a home office (or writing retreat!?), and further potential to make your dreams a realty!

Although this home is technically 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, it's absolutely not lacking in charm or the feeling of abundance. All that natural sunlight bounces around the open-plan living area while the high, raked ceilings create a sense of space. Plus the kitchen features such delightful mod cons, it'll probably be hard to want to spend much time anywhere else. In fact, you'll probably often find yourself caught up in that magnificent view from the surrounding windows. The main bedroom is simply stylish with a ceiling fan and walk-in wardrobe, a perfect little sanctuary with pretty views to boot. The cleverly designed second bedroom or home office, nestled beneath the main residence, boasts fresh carpets and a brand new air con - just the thing for an extra guest or young person seeking their own semi-independent space. And thanks to the current owners, the entire property has undergone a fantastic transformation with brand new solar inverter, 15 solar panels, and an Enviro heat pump water heater for better energy efficiency. Smart locks and Google Home integration with smart lighting will provide a little bonus of modern convenience.

If you love Darlington because of its unparalleled surroundings, the fully fenced, elevated block will have your heart skipping a beat. It's bursting with native bush that's been cleverly landscaped to keep a touch of wild beauty while making it manageable to maintain. The front balcony, with its romantic fairy lights, is just the spot to unwind or find inspiration and the spacious patio adjoining the newly built Colorbond shed will probably fast become a favourite dinner 'destination' with a view. The new shed is a versatile space that could become a private yoga or art studio, massage treatment room, music hub, or pretty much anything else you could dream of! And when you want to venture out to connect with the friendly locals, you'll find them at the oval walking their pups, or on the trails making the most of the spectacular bush environment, or at some of the best cafes in the Hills, or at the local Winery. There are plenty of choices here to get out amongst nature, but the best part of the day will probably always be coming back to the home.

You won't find something like this on the market again anytime soon!

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING WHEN ATTENDING A VIEWING:
1. Please park on Allpike Road or the surrounding area and walk down the driveway. Multiple vehicles down the battleaxe driveway can cause a challenge!
2. If you are bringing children, there are three sets of sliding glass doors strategically positioned on two sides of the home - originally intended to open onto a wraparound verandah. These doors are equipped with manual locks and flyscreens for added security, however, please use caution when moving around the home.
