It's not hard to imagine quiet mornings spent on the wide welcoming porch of this charming Darlington cottage. The original 1930s home has been expanded and remodelled yet retains many original features. High ceilings, a stone fireplace and a decorative cast iron Metters oven speak of the past while full height windows and reverse cycle air-conditioning are a nod to modern life.
A large, sunny foyer and adjoining study nook/library lead from the front door into an expansive open plan family/meals/kitchen. A stone surround fireplace fitted with a slow combustion fire, jarrah floors and deco-style architraves give this flexible, central hub instant appeal. The soft, earthy tone of terracotta tiled floors describe the kitchen where an electric hob, oven and dishwasher sit surrounded by ample storage and a central island bench.
Full height windows fill this central living space with natural light filtered by established gardens and a grape strewn pergola. Seamless movement from indoors to out and the delightful granite walled gardens form the perfect space for alfresco dining and entertaining.
High ceilings and jarrah floors give the main bedroom original charm; reverse cycle air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort. Double French doors connect the main bedroom to a walk-in robe and dressing room and an ensuite replete with shower, vanity and W.C.
Both junior rooms are generous and arranged to allow for adjoining study/workspaces. These light-filled rooms share the corner spa, shower and W.C. in the family bathroom. A third W.C. adjoins the cottage-style laundry.
Steps lead from the pergola to a below ground sparkling pool in an elevated setting which offers a secluded place to cool off in summer as you float gazing at the treetops. A driveway provides vehicle access to the large backyard, powered workshop and the double carport situated adjacent the decked porch.
Don't miss the opportunity offered by this Darlington charmer. The property delivers original charm and modern convenience in equal measure.

The 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.
