A sense of history unfolds as you move through this property. At the front of the home, two large rooms with original jarrah floorboards and wainscoting are arranged on either side of the central hallway. Impressively high ceilings add to the sense of volume here and throughout. An open fireplace sits at one corner of what was perhaps the original sitting room.

The wainscoted hallway leads to the centre of the current floor plan and a sizeable lateral space currently styled as a formal lounge and dining room. Originally two rooms, the space has been opened to form a modern living and entertaining area filled with natural light and double doors onto the verandah - creating easy indoor-outdoor living.

The kitchen – a part of the later extension but still displaying the impressive ceiling height – has ample bench space, a dishwasher, an electric oven and a 4-burner hob. A study nook sits to one side of the open-plan kitchen/family room; this flexible space could be styled as an impressive walk-in pantry. A wall of north-facing windows frames views of the backyard and fills the open-plan living zone with natural light filtered by a vine-covered deck.

Three double bedrooms and a study/5th bedroom are arranged towards the rear of the home and share a sizable family bathroom, while the principal suite opens to a private corner of the front verandah – the ideal place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and gaze across vines and rose bushes to a neatly trimmed hedge. A walk through-robe leads to an ensuite with a corner spa and overhead shower.

A large utility room and laundry leads to a third bathroom that sits adjacent to the rear deck, an elevated outdoor living zone shaded by vines and overlooking a generous-sized backyard with raised vegetable beds and a chicken coop at one corner. Thody Lane runs along the rear boundary; not only does it give this home its name, but it also provides easy access to the backyard.

The level, dual frontage 1897 sqm lot is zoned Town Centre and can be subdivided (STA) to R60 at a minimum. Let the charms of this Hills original seduce you with its perfumed gardens, generous proportions, high ceilings and a palpable connection to local history.?A brilliant location puts sporting facilities, schools and the bustling Mundaring village within walking distance. Those seeking outdoor adventures can head to the Heritage Trail and begin exploring its 30 km of trails.?
