ALL OFFERS ABOVE $1,950,000 WILL BE PRESENTED.

Handcrafted from locally-sourced granite in the 1920s, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is a work of art. Known as Nyanya, and named after Nyaania Creek running through the 4,810sqm block, this sprawling property transcends, complete with a waterfall and spectacular valley views.

Since the current owners fell in love with the elevated single-storey property, they extended the ground floor and added a second storey where a rooftop garden once bloomed. With 700 sqm of living space, including open-plan living/dining, a sitting room, media room, formal lounge and a guest suite, this landmark home is a dream come true for families.

European influences are seen throughout, from the bespoke wrought iron balustrades to the shutters, original stained glass, solid oak flooring and extra high ceilings. The chequered-floor terrace opens to nature, bookended by bi-fold doors, and generates a seamless flow from the foyer to the main living area.

Alight the oak stairs to a kid's retreat with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft with birdseye views into this zone. Add a kitchen to convert this wing into a self-contained apartment, as it has direct outdoor access and a balcony. The vast primary suite features a balcony, dressing room and an ensuite with an oversized bath and a Juliette balcony.

The kitchen inspires culinary greatness with the Belling cooker, handmade turquoise subway tiles, valley views and an expansive island with a granite top. The well-equipped outdoor kitchen is housed in a stone building that once accommodated the stonemason who handcrafted this home.

The repurposed railway sleepers featured in the ceiling beams once formed the railway track (now a heritage trail) weaving through this picturesque property long before the block was halved. It's believed the original owner built a deck to watch the trains approach before catching his ride into the city. Today, the deck festooned with ivy and sweeping vistas overlooks the below-ground pool bordered with granite.

The 100sqm powered shed/workshop with extra high roof is perfect to house boats, caravan, or your precious car collection.

Despite its grandeur, this is a home designed for living, inviting you to entertain, sink into a couch with a good book or create your own masterpiece; after all, this is a property that inspires creativity.

You might have escaped to the country, but it's only a 30-minute drive from Perth's CBD and 10 minutes to Mundaring and Midland. You have kilometres of walking trails, and it's a short stroll to Helena College Primary School, Darlington village with cafes, shops and Darlington Oval. It's a short distance to Bilgoman Aquatic Centre, Darlington Estate Winery, Darlington Primary School, Treetops Montessori School and Helena College High School. Dedicated private bus services provide convenient, direct transportation from Darlington to other prestigious schools in the greater area such as Guildford Grammar, Perth College, St Brigid's College and Mazenod College.
