Recycled bricks form a wide terrace that extends to an expansive verandah and the front door of this characterful Wooroloo home. This easy indoor-outdoor design makes perfect sense in a setting as impressive and beguiling as this. Double French doors open to a large, timber-floored family room and kitchen. Overhead fans, a slow combustion fire and a reverse cycle air conditioner deliver a space that is sure to be at the centre of life, no matter the season.

An island bench with an integrated breakfast bar defines the kitchen, a good-sized space with an L-shaped benchtop, 900 mm oven and dishwasher. Set behind the kitchen is a sunken dining room, a lovely, light-filled space with an easterly aspect and a retro Metters stove – a perfect setting for long lunches with family and friends on a cold winter’s day.

The main bedroom is arranged at the front of the floorplan with double doors opening to gorgeous views of the natural landscape and the recycled brick terrace. This idyllic setting feels like an eco-retreat where you greet the day, coffee in hand and eyes filled with restorative green vistas. An ensuite with a chic Italian spa bath and double shower continues the spa-like atmosphere of the main bedroom.

The junior bedrooms are arranged along a central hall leading from the open plan living zone and ending at a large multi-use activity room. Great as a playroom for young children where their toys and ‘stuff’ are away from the central living zone and offering a degree of autonomy to older children when styled as a study or teens’ retreat, the activity room opens to a broad, sheltered verandah to create a functional indoor-outdoor space.

A fenced block towards the end of a cul-de-sac ensures a sense of privacy and the atmosphere of a rural retreat. Coming home to this property feels like leaving the rest of the world behind, yet the friendly townships of Wooroloo, Gidgegannup and Chidlow – all of which have primary schools – are within easy reach. The services and amenities of Mundaring and Midland are easily accessed via the Great Eastern Highway. If you yearn for rural life, with the space and freedom to raise kids, animals and gardens, this unique and charming property will make your heart beat a little faster.
