18 Oakleigh Road, Darlington

Apologies - Home Open has had to be CANCELLED this weekend 21-22 May.

Set on almost one and a quarter acres alongside Windy Creek, this north-facing character home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms epitomises idyllic country living. Constructed from locally quarried granite by a local engineer who fulfilled his vision of blending his home into the landscape.

From the moment you arrive, it's easy to understand why there have only been two owners, and the last time this property sold was 20 years ago. The pitched patio with bush views and wrap-around veranda connects the stunning grounds to the interior inviting year-round entertaining, with plenty of spots to relax with a book and a glass of wine from the nearby Darlington Estate winery.

The expansive living area opens to alfresco dining through bi-fold doors and features stunning parquetry Jarrah flooring. During the cooler months, the wood heater will keep your family cosy, along with the individual kitchen certain to inspire culinary heights.

Artists, writers and creatives are naturally drawn to the Perth Hills for the scenery, sense of community, wildlife and tranquillity; so how lucky is the new owner of this home to have their very own studio perfect for creating. This space is also ideal for a handyman or it could be used as a second living space, or for yoga, where you will surely feel at one with nature.

It's just a short walk into Darlington Village where you'll find shops, cafes, excellent schools, Darlington oval, tennis courts, a skate park, the heritage railway trail, and public transport. The well-known Juniper Gallery, inspired by former local artist Robert Juniper is but a short drive. Midland, Glen Forrest and Mundaring are a few minutes by car, as is Bilgoman Aquatic Centre, walking/cycling trails, galleries and several national parks, including the nearby Nyaania Creek Reserve which has a 2.4km trail meandering past waterfalls, rapids and scenic views.

To fully appreciate the charm of this property, please don't hesitate to contact Nigel Peters at nigelp@theagency.com.au or on 0407 212 156 today.
