SWEET SANCTUARY - 51 years in the making
Every now and then you come across a property that just has that 'something special vibe' about it. This home is definitely not the most modern home nor does it shout out bold ego striking architecture but it has something that no other new home can give you and that's the presence of love, care and attention.
Yes this 'Sweet Sanctuary' has been the beloved home of the current owners for 51 years who have lovingly extended, restored and nurtured it from the original use of an 'Orchardist Cottage'. It's hard to put into words just how inviting and charming this property is but all I can say is that beyond the fortress like limestone boundary walls and electric gate that guard this sensitive sanctuary is a feeling of Zen and mystery intertwined with an old world English influence and a knowing that this is home.
Further enhancing the cocooning nature of this property are the gardens, gardens that both embrace you and leave you in a sense of suspense as they guide you on a hypnotic tour around the sprawling 2494m2 site filled with pockets of serenity and surprise framed by organic granite stonemasonry. But what will really surprise you is the surreal location of this property butted up against regional native parkland with remnants of the old orchard history with a scattering of fruit trees still in existence amongst the native flora. And as one would expect with the street name 'High Peak Place' this block provides a commanding position providing elevated views both over the regional parkland and through to the coast. Does it get much better than this?
Yes it does! Nestled at the heart of this picturesque estate is a nostalgic and homely residence. Originally Circa 1950's this home has been extended to accommodate families, offering four bedrooms and one bathroom plus two separate living zones. The formal living area (lounge and dining) is just divine showcasing the character of the 1950's with a large central fireplace, wooden floor boards and expansive picture windows that highlight the alluring surrounding gardens. Adjacent to the lounge room is also a study or hobby room, whilst off the formal dining is a cute alfresco area to enjoy that quiet morning cuppa. The second living zone comprises an updated kitchen with granite benchtops and casual meals area that overlooks a sunken family room with direct access to the vegetable patch, sprawling green lawns and pool area with an amazing backdrop of the reserve and coastal vistas.
Additionally there is a large double garage with easy driveway access, decent size garden shed and a secret door that allows you to gain entry to once was the old orchard of yesteryear.
Its time to hand the baton and the legacy to a family who is going to care and appreciate this captivating estate. Do not let this opportunity pass you by contact Ben Ciocca and David Farrant to organise your prompt inspection of the 'Sweet Sanctuary'.

Lesmurdie overview
Like Kalamunda, the development of the "Lesmurdie" area is closely tied to the exploitation of the Jarrah forest in the region by the Canning Jarrah Timber Company Ltd. In 1897, Mr Archibald Sanderson, a Perth journalist commenced the acquisition of a number of these properties, with a view to building up a "rural retreat" and he named his property "Lesmurdie". Lesmurdie Cottage was a shooting-box in Banffshire, Scotland, near Dufftown and was let to Mr Sanderson's father for shooting. It was in memory of this cottage that Sanderson applied the name to his property.
