Standing serenely at the end of Echo Road, this iconic home emerges into the towering gum trees with flair and elegance, a true tree house which will suit buyers who are looking for something a little different, a little unusual, something which stands out among the crowd. Architecturally designed by Sam Green, this steel framed home literally perches on the edge of the valley among the swaying gum trees, with visiting cockatoos at eye level. Evoking feelings of flying even when standing in the kitchen, this home is ready to take its new owners on a journey of alternating quiet serenity and exciting moments in the beautiful natural environment of the Perth Hills.
The dramatic floating bridge leads into the formal entry foyer, with views directly onto the outdoor deck which appears to be floating in the treetops. With some clever pruning, this view could be further dramatized to include sweeping views over the valley of Kalamunda National Park and beyond. The home itself is divided into two wings on either side of the formal entryway, with sleeping quarters on the left hand side and living on the right. The sleeping quarters of the house comprises of three bedrooms, all with views directly into the swaying gum trees and access to a wraparound balcony. The main bedroom features a large walk-through wardrobe with plenty of storage space and entry to the ensuite, which is generous, featuring an oversized shower and skylight feature. The two minor bedrooms share an American "Jack and Jill" style ensuite, with direct access to the bathroom from both bedrooms. A spacious laundry with concertina doors is also in this wing of the home, which complements the practical layout by providing a streamlined chore schedule no tramping with dirty clothes from one end of the house to the other!
On the right hand side of the home is the living space, an open plan area with soaring ceilings and glass fronted to take advantage of the stunning views into the treetops. A country-style kitchen with breakfast bar and island provides plenty of space for meal preparation or hosting a soiree in the treetops a true entertainers delight, this flow between kitchen, living space and outdoor deck will make for spectacular parties. A third bathroom and flexible space (think study nook, guest accommodation, library) is tucked away to the side of the living area. Outdoors, there is a two-car garage with electric roller door and small garden shed. Garden maintenance-wise, this home will be very minimal as the steeply sloping block is teeming with native flora and fauna, which doesn't require any upkeep beyond a little clearing every now and then. Bordering the home is direct access to bush walking paths through Gooseberry Hill nature reserves and into Kalamunda National Park, as well as only being a short walk into Kalamunda town central.
