The owners have done a magnificent job of restoring this character weatherboard cottage and extending it to twice its size through a modern iron-clad addition that includes beautiful bathrooms, large bedrooms and a light, bright studio at the back. High vaulted ceilings, tiled floors, split system air-conditioning and glass sliding doors to the backyard and deck make the studio a perfect artist’s retreat complete with a sink for washing paintbrushes. Alternatively, it would make a fabulous games room for kids or a sunny conservatory.
At the front of the home the lounge room is within the footprint of the original cottage and has ornate cornices and ceiling roses, a large brick fireplace, polished Jarrah floorboards and a split system air-conditioner.
The kitchen has been tastefully upgraded with funky black and white tiling, black benchtops, white cabinetry, a big freestanding stainless steel oven and gas cooktop, dishwasher and a generous fridge alcove. A small breakfast bar connects the dining area with the kitchen and leads out onto an alfresco entertaining deck under a shade sail: the perfect place to laze away Sunday morning with coffee and a newspaper.
The original architectural flourishes have been retained in the master bedroom, which now incorporates an integrated ensuite. A large, freestanding bath set against a big picture window looking out over the garden connects you with nature to heighten your relaxation. A vanity sits against the wall and a door to a small private deck is accessible through this glass-clad space, veiled by sheer white curtains.
The remaining two large bedrooms share a light, bright modern bathroom with another feature freestanding bath, shower, toilet and stylish vanity. There is a powder room off the walk-through laundry that leads to another deck and the tidy, landscaped backyard.
Storage is no problem with an attic accessible by an attic ladder in the hallway plus a large garden shed to the side of the house. There is plenty of parking space for several vehicles in the gravel driveway that wraps around to the back of the house. A vegie patch of raised stone beds lines the back fence and neat gravel paths wind through easy care garden beds and mature trees to a large, well-kept lawn in the front.
Get your exercise in nature and walk the famed heritage trail that lies over the road, or if yoga is more your thing, head down to the community hall for a class. All you need in the way of shopping is just minutes away in Mundaring’s town centre and the city is within a short commute with public transport close by if required.
This stunning renovated cottage is sure to get your heart started, don’t miss out!
