Magic in Mundaring
The sense of arrival here is immediate. A long driveway moves through layered gardens before delivering you to a cedar home that seems to float among the trees. This is proper privacy – the kind that makes you forget the village centre is just a five-minute walk away. You could be deep in the hills, yet the bakery, supermarkets and coffee are all within easy reach.
The home presents a straightforward floor plan that works well for daily life. A central hallway provides clear separation between living spaces and the bedroom wing, with the formal dining room occupying an elevated corner position that places you in the canopy. Morning light filters through established trees, and the room feels more treehouse than traditional dining space. The kitchen is practical rather than showy, fitted with a freestanding oven, dishwasher and a servery window that maintains connection to the dining room.
From the carpeted lounge room, a sliding door opens to the front deck – a generous space that becomes an extension of the living area in the warmer months. The reverse-cycle air conditioning handles summer heat, while the mature trees provide natural cooling and the dappled shade that makes outdoor living enticing.
The bedroom wing is sensibly arranged. Two bedrooms share the family bathroom, with the current principal bedroom benefiting from split system air conditioning and a ceiling fan. The adjoining powder room can also be accessed via the deck, a detail that proves its worth when you're entertaining or working in the garden.
The first bedroom connects to a spacious storeroom with a dropped floor – a ready-made opportunity for conversion to a second bathroom if that suits your needs. A walk-through laundry with a separate toilet completes this section of the home, and those two double linen presses in the hallway solve the eternal storage question.
But step outside, and the real story unfolds. Almost 3,700 square metres of gardens wrap around the house in layers – a mix of native eucalypts, established exotics, fruit trees and the remnants of structured garden beds. The bones are excellent. This was clearly a considered landscape in its day, and while it needs attention now, the framework remains. You can see the potential garden rooms, imagine the restored vegetable beds, picture the fruit trees producing again. The reticulation system is already in place for sections of the garden, and scheme water is connected.
This is the kind of property where children create elaborate games among the trees, where you spend weekends gradually bringing order to the wilder sections, and where the undercover area beneath the house suggests possibilities for a workshop or studio space. Friends arrive for lunch and stay until evening, drawn by the atmosphere of seclusion and the novelty of finding such expansive grounds so close to everything.
The location delivers genuine convenience – walking distance to the village means less time in the car and more time at home. Mundaring Primary School sits nearby, with Parkerville Steiner schools or Helena College for secondary education. Midland is a 20-minute drive for major shopping and services, the airport is 35 minutes away, and Perth CBD is accessible in around 45 minutes. Yet the property feels entirely removed from the chaos of suburbia.
