OLD MEMORIES, NEW BEGINNINGS

A short flight of stairs rise to a home set well back on a level north-facing block. It's being sold as is, so there's work to do, but the plan is a good one: bedrooms down one end, a big family room in the middle, and a kitchen that links formal and informal dining and living. Mundaring Primary School is steps away, and the village shops are a few minutes off.

Behind the front door, a tiled formal entry splits the house in two: family room to the right, sunken lounge to the left. The family room is the big one, with windows to the north and south, a slow-combustion fireplace for the cold months and split-system air-conditioning for the rest. A sliding glass door opens onto the veranda, which runs across the back of the house and wraps around both the east and west sides.

The kitchen sits at the rear, linking the family room and the formal dining room, so whoever's cooking isn't cut off from everyone else. There's an island bench with an electric cooktop, timber cabinets beneath a long stretch of benchtop, and a built-in breakfast bar. A large window looks out to the backyard - handy for keeping an eye on the kids, or a happy distraction while doing the dishes. Off to one side, the dining room steps down into the sunken lounge at the front of the house, a quieter place to retreat to once the family room has been taken over by Lego.

A hall runs from the family room through the bedroom wing. The principal bedroom is generously sized, looks to the front garden and has its own ensuite with shower, vanity and WC. The family bathroom has a shower, vanity and tub, and there's a separate WC off the walk-through laundry, which helps when the morning rush is on. Two more bedrooms sit at the end of the hall, one on either side, each with a ceiling fan and one with a built-in robe.

Outside, the backyard has a powered shed with drive-in access and a powered garage with remote entry this gives you more space to park and store.

Mundaring Primary School is steps from the front door, and the village shops are a few minutes away, so the daily run is short. The layout is already there, and the yard is a blank page; the rest is up to whoever gets the keys.
