About this property

This property has been renovated with the kind of care that improves everything without erasing what was already good. The original bones - raked timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams, a central chimney piece - are all still doing their job; they have simply been given better company. Eight acres of bushland, a wraparound verandah, dual-aspect glazing that pulls light deep into the plan - it adds up to a home that feels complete, settled, and genuinely hard to leave. 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 1984-built brick and iron Impeccably renovated New kitchen and baths Exp beams raked ceilings Fully fenced auto entry 9 x 6 powered workshop 3.3 hectare/ 8.15 acres Mains Water Cul-de-sac hideaway Step inside, and the home's original character is immediately apparent - and very much intact. White-painted timber panelling, raked pine-lined ceilings with exposed beams, and a central brick chimney piece that anchors the whole plan: the renovation has worked with these elements rather than over them, adding a new kitchen, new bathrooms and new flooring that sit comfortably alongside what was already here. The chimney quietly defines the boundary between the formal lounge and dining room and the open-plan kitchen and family room without ever closing them off from one another. A slow-combustion fireplace faces the kitchen/family side; an open fireplace faces the other. In the cooler months, both rooms gather around their respective hearths; in warmer weather, split system air conditioning keeps the house comfortable throughout. The kitchen is the home's brightest room - deliberately so. A square island with stone benchtops sits at its centre, with an integrated breakfast bar along two sides and storage along the other two. High-quality appliances include an induction cooktop, 900mm wall oven, integrated dishwasher and rangehood. A walk-in pantry supplements generous under-bench cabinetry. A run of north-facing windows draws light deep into the plan and blurs the boundary between interior and garden - the room has the quality of floating within the landscape. The chimney's role as an organisational device rather than a barrier means that daily life can expand or contract as occasion demands. Breakfast at the island bench, casual evenings in the family room, and more considered meals or gatherings that naturally spill into the formal dining and lounge or out onto the verandah - the plan accommodates all of it without effort. The dining room enjoys a northerly aspect; the formal lounge looks out across a reticulated lawn to the trunks of tall eucalypts beyond. Three junior bedrooms sit at the entry end of the plan, each fitted with built-in robes, ceiling fans, split-system air conditioning, and plush carpet. They share a renovated family bathroom - a calm, considered space with a freestanding tub positioned to take in bush views. The laundry has been given the same quality of attention, with built-in storage and a generous run of bench that makes short work of sorting and folding. The principal suite occupies the eastern end of the home with its own verandah access via a sliding door, a renovated ensuite, and a walk-in robe that was created by absorbing a redundant hallway - now fitted with drawers along two walls, ample hanging space and integrated lighting. Outside, the verandah wraps the full perimeter of the house. To the north, a fenced home paddock and raised vegetable beds, to the south, a landscape of tall gums and grass trees. The current owners have managed this land with a careful hand - clearing excessive undergrowth without erasing the natural character that defines it. The result sits precisely at the point where a garden becomes something larger. The property is fully fenced with dog-proof fencing, accessed via an automatic solar-powered gate, and connected to mains water. Automatic zoned reticulation serves the lawns and garden beds, and roof sprinklers provide additional peace of mind. A freestanding powered workshop - 9 x 6 metres with a concrete floor - completes the picture. Mundaring village is an easy drive, with schools, shops and community close at hand. A thoughtful renovation has given this Perth Hills home a character that feels completely of its time and entirely its own - tall gums, grass trees, dappled shade and clear light framing it on all sides.
