An iconic stone chimney leaves no doubt about the mid-century credentials of this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home. Working with a light hand and sensitivity to original aesthetics, the current owners have created a light-filled home that feels as modern today as it did when first built in 1966.
Open the front door to reveal the high ceilings, jarrah floors and an interior bathed in light. Sliding doors lead to a spacious lounge room with an original stone fireplace fitted with a slow combustion heater. Double glass doors to the front verandah and large corner windows fashion an airy and welcoming space. Adjoining the lounge is a formal dining room, sliding doors create an uninterrupted visual and physical connection between spaces and allows for flexibility in use.
The kitchen boasts new cabinets and wooden benchtops, a 4-burner hob, dishwasher and wall oven. The original hearth remains in place as a charming reminder of the home's history while a large walk-in pantry offers modern convenience and ample storage.
A wide central hallway with built-in storage leads to the 3 large bedrooms all with warm-toned jarrah floors and big windows creating light open spaces. A shared family bathroom features a tub, shower and vanity.
It's easy to embrace the indoor-outdoor ethos of mid-century thinking with a backyard that delivers ample useable space, a fire pit and a series of lawn areas. Along the rear of the home is a deep verandah with a spacious laundry at one end. A covered entertaining area – complete with the home's original Metters oven for warmth – provides the setting for year-round entertaining with fantastic views of the family-friendly yard with a treehouse, chicken run and raised veggie beds. A drive-through garage and workshop round out this idyllic setting.
Visions of a quintessential Hills lifestyle are inevitable here; this is a home you will love at first sight and for decades to come. The property includes a separate, 3-room studio space – ideal for use as teens' retreat, yoga studio, games room or spacious home office. This structure would make a fabulous stand-alone apartment/granny flat (previously approved plans for this are available).
It is always a thrill to discover a home that has been carefully and sensitively renewed, with this home, that thrill is multiplied thanks to a fantastic half acre block in an incredible location. Minutes from the services and amenities of Mundaring, the property is within walking distance of parks, trails and schools.
