3 Darkin Close, Smithfield

Timeless Florentine Elegance, Exceptional Craftsmanship & Versatile Dual Living

Lovingly maintained by its original owners and built with an unwavering commitment to quality, this substantial residence is a beautiful example of timeless European elegance. Inspired by classical Florentine architecture, the home combines impressive proportions, solid construction and stunning elevated views with an exceptionally versatile floorplan designed to accommodate changing family needs.
Constructed with suspended concrete floors and built to stand the test of time, this is a home where quality and longevity were clearly prioritised. Its enduring architectural style, generous living spaces and thoughtful design offer a level of substance and character rarely found in contemporary homes.
The main residence occupies the upper level, with the significant advantage of direct street-level access without a single stair to negotiate. Four generous bedrooms provide ample accommodation, complemented by spacious living areas, a large kitchen and a separate dining room ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.
An expansive balcony extends the living space outdoors, capturing spectacular elevated views and providing a wonderful setting to entertain, unwind or simply enjoy the outlook.
The lower level adds an entirely different dimension to this impressive property, featuring a remarkably spacious, self-contained two-bedroom residence complete with its own kitchen, living area, bathroom and laundry.
Currently rented for $475 per week, representing $24,700 per annum in gross rental income, the lower residence is tenanted until February 2027, providing an established income stream with potential for future rental growth, subject to market conditions.
Whether accommodating ageing parents, adult children seeking independence, extended family or maintaining the lower residence as an income-producing investment, the possibilities are particularly appealing.
With James Cook University just a short distance away, the location also presents an attractive opportunity for those considering the ongoing rental potential of the lower residence.
