Make 2022 a year of new beginnings, the year you reshape your life; ditch the commute, grow your food, walk the kids to school, follow your creative urges, or build a home-based business. This unique property makes the dream of a more balanced life possible.
A large, bright family home with multiple living areas, a below ground pool, and a backyard with drive-in access and outbuildings offer families room to grow, play and learn. An original Overseer’s cottage – relocated in 1908 from Mundaring Weir – wide jarrah floorboards, jarrah dado, and brick fireplaces create a charming, flexible space with numerous uses.
Entry to the residence is via a high-ceilinged foyer with a formal lounge room and the principal suite to either side. A wide arched doorway opens the foyer to a central open-plan living zone with a large, family-friendly kitchen, ample space for a table and sofas, and a slow combustion fire, split air-conditioning, and a ceiling fan. A staircase leads to a good-sized mezzanine with exposed beams and a dormer window.
A U-shaped benchtop with an integrated breakfast bar defines the kitchen, where an electric wall oven, 5-burner gas hob and dishwasher are in place to make daily meal prep and clean up a breeze. The living zone extends to the outdoors with a sliding glass door onto a paved year-round entertaining area; this sheltered space expands to a larger patio overlooking the below ground pool.
Arranging the main suite towards the front of the floorplan delivers a sense of privacy and retreat. This spacious adults’ zone features two walk-in robes and an ensuite with a corner spa, shower, vanity, and WC. Three bedrooms with built-in robes sit in a separate junior wing along with a family bathroom and a walk-through laundry with a separate WC.
A driveway at the property’s south boundary runs to an open lawn and garden area with raised vegetable beds and fruit trees. A thriving fig tree shades a good-sized storage shed at one corner of the east-facing backyard; there is also a smaller garden shed and a woodshed.
The timber cottage needs work, and any plans for its use would require shire approval; the charming structure, with links to the history of Mundaring, bursts with potential – auxiliary accommodation, a teens’ retreat, studio space, or separate home office. With its location at the front of the block, exposure for a business is good.
An excellent Mundaring address puts the much-loved Sculpture Park at the end of the street and Sacred Heart Primary School opposite the front gate. The village centre is minutes away, miles of walking and riding along the Heritage Trail are within walking distance – the best of the Hills are on the doorstep, and the ‘good life’ can be found behind the front gate. Don’t wait to take the first step towards a new, rebalanced lifestyle
