"Felicity" - Intense Happiness
If you're meant to be a Darlingtonite, you'll know. You'll find yourself taking the back way up the hill through Darlington, just to see if there are any new properties with For Sale signs out the front. You'll be doing "just a quick check" daily on your favourite real estate sites for new Darlo listings. And you'll already know what it will feel like to clip the leash on your pup, wave to your neighbours, and walk up and down the gently sloping streets breathing in the fresh Hills air.
Circa 1930s, Felicity Cottage is a one-of-a-kind. The word 'Felicity' means intense happiness, and could there be any more foreshadowing of the good life than this? The previous owners have respected this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home by restoring it with love and care, ensuring it's Jarrah weatherboards are solid, the lovely lounge retained its open fire, the country style kitchen could be featured in any renovation magazine, and its Blackbutt flooring gleams. The sunroom alone will have you falling in love with Felicity Cottage, in that hard, all-consuming way.
