House of the week: Re-imagined classic
The four-bedroom home sits on an 837 sqm block at 33 Martin Cres, Coconut Grove, backing onto a seasonal waterway and close to parklands and walking paths.
Selling agent Andrew Harding of Ray White Darwin said the house began its life as a classic railway cottage in Fannie Bay around 1923 and was shaped by the generations of Top Enders who have called it home.
'This residence has evolved into what may be the finest modern Troppo home in Darwin,' he said.
'A seamless fusion of heritage and contemporary design, it stands as a true testament to tropical architecture at its best.'
The house was moved to Martin Cres in 1981 before it was extended and renovated, with an upper level added in 1983.
The home has banks of louvres, timber floors, exposed timber beams and high ceilings throughout.
There is easy indoor-outdoor flow with multiple balconies and outdoor living spaces.
A contemporary kitchen has stone sink, black cabinetry and a feature window, while an elevated dining space looks out over the kitchen and living areas.
The lounge opens to a small deck and looks out over the pool and lush landscaping.
The two oversized bedrooms on this level have private balconies while one has a luxury ensuite with bathtub and treetop views.
There is also second living area and family bathroom on this level.
Internal stairs lead up to a third bedroom that could be used as a home office or living space.
Under the house there is a generous entertaining space, a bathroom and a storeroom.
Separate from the house is bungalow with deck and bedroom space.
The block has lush tropical gardens, an in-ground pool, electronic gate, pedestrian entry and side access.
The home is close to the Nightcliff foreshore, markets, schools and shops and a short drive to the Darwin CBD.

Model reportedly ‘splits' from restaurant mogul husband
Rumours a popular couple have 'split' appear to have been confirmed after fans began speculating the married pair were no longer together. Georgia Fowler and her husband Nathan Dalah have reportedly ended their marriage, according to The Daily Telegraph. The Kiwi model, 33, and her restaurateur husband are said to have parted ways, with Fowler recently leaving their New York home and being spotted in New Zealand and Australia. 'It ended a few months ago,' a source told the publication. 'It all happened very quickly.' The report comes after Fowler shares a series of snaps from a jaunt to Sydney, where she appears to be wedding-ring free. The 'genetically blessed' couple, who have two young children together, have also 'not been seen together in months', it was claimed. Fowler, her husband and their kids moved from Sydney to New York so that Dalah could open his hugely successful Fishbowl franchise in The Big Apple and Fowler could further establish her modelling career. The cult Aussie takeaway, which rebranded in the US as This Bowl, has been very popular with Americans. Famed as being a healthy fast food chain that sells Asian-inspired salads, the brand opened its first store in Bondi Beach in 2016, and the rest, as they say, is history. Recently, some customers have claimed the restaurants, both in the US and in Australia, have made them sick. Dalah described the situation as an 'outlier incident', and gave insight into some of the food safety practices the business has. This includes an alarm sounding every 15 minutes to indicate staff need to change their gloves and another alarm every 20 minutes to indicate a need for sanitising. 'We take this very seriously, we understand who our customer is and we understand the level of trust they put in us and as a result, food safety is the number one thing,' he told Fowler and Dalah – the twin brother of fashion designer Jordan Dalah – tied the knot in the Southern Highlands in January 2023 after announcing their engagement in 2022. At the time, Fowler revealed that Dalah proposed during a photo shoot for Tiffany & Co. Fowler's most recent Instagram post includes a photo where her left hand is visibly without a wedding ring. It also contained a photo of a book, open on a page that reads, 'But perhaps women secrete their own despair in the process of being mothers and wives'. Fowler shot to fame after walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Neither Fowler or Dalah have responded to reports about their rumoured separation.
