News Corp Australia Network

An acreage property with all the features a true Territorian could wish for, including huge shed, pool and deck, is on the market in a Darwin suburb not known for its big blocks.

Selling agent Nick Mousellis, of Nick Mousellis Real Estate, said 42 Hargrave St, Muirhead, was tucked away in an acreage pocket many locals didn’t even know existed.

“This area is the Knuckey Lagoon of the northern suburbs,” he said.

“It’s tightly held and the quality of the neighbours is excellent.

“They tend to be private people who take pride in the presentation of their homes.”

Mr Mousellis said the house at 42 Hargrave St was a bespoke build of high calibre.

“The owners carefully picked a builder who was prepared to work with them to achieve their vision,” he said.

“Everything, from the thought process through to the construction and completion, was done to a meticulous standard.

“The house has attention to detail and practicality galore.”

Set on a 4,020sq m block, the home has timber and stone accents and a neutral colour scheme throughout.

In the main house there are three bedrooms, a study and open plan living, dining and kitchen.

There are floating timber floors to the living areas, a timber barn door to the study and a walk-in pantry in the kitchen.

The main bedroom has a luxurious ensuite, big walk-in robe and sliding doors looking out to the lawns and gardens.

The huge entertainer’s deck has a timber ceiling, vertical garden, industrial style fans and an outdoor kitchen, all overlooking the big pool set into a timber deck.

“The swimming pool is positioned in the perfect spot so parents can overlook the pool from anywhere in the house and keep an eye on the kids,” Mr Mousellis said.

A guest suite off the deck has a bedroom, built-in robes and bathroom.

The double lockup garage attached to the home is 7.6m x 7.6m and there is a separate shed with double roller doors and workshop area.

The block has established gardens, manicured lawns, a sweeping driveway and tree-lined fence line.

The property backs onto a green belt and is minutes to Royal Darwin Hospital, shops and schools.

“This home is away from the crowds but still close to everything,” Mr Mousellis said.

“When you’re there you could easily believe you’re in the middle of the New South Wales hinterland.”

The property is for sale for offers over $1.75 million.
