RESERVED BY NATURE

There's a particular magic in this pocket of the Hills - a village up the road, a nature reserve over the back fence and enough quiet in between to notice the difference. This 2329 sqm property sits behind established gardens at the bottom of a cul-de-sac; with access onto Barlee Street Reserve - a gate at the rear opens straight onto the reserve. The gardens are crossed with paths that wind between beds planted for colour through every season, with a slow, layered generosity to the planting that speaks of years of care and a passion for gardening.

A formal entry opens two ways - to a carpeted lounge and dining room on one side, and the principal bedroom suite on the other, both taking in the front garden through large windows. The lounge keeps enough of its own formality - the carpet, the quiet, being set apart at the front of the home - to make sense for a birthday lunch, or the good china at Christmas. The main bedroom has a ceiling fan for the warmer months, a walk-in robe with enough hanging space for two, and an ensuite that's had an impressive update.

Beyond the entry, glazed sliding doors reveal the real heart of the home - an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, laid with large sandstone tiles running underfoot. The kitchen sits in one corner, fitted with an electric oven, a two-drawer dishwasher and a four-burner gas hob, with stone benchtops set above and below high-gloss white cabinetry. A breakfast bar handles the quick weekday mornings, and there's an easy run from the meals area out to a gable-covered alfresco - useful whether you're setting the table for four or fourteen. A slow combustion fireplace anchors the living zone with the glow of the fire through the cooler months, plus ducted reverse cycle throughout for year-round ambient living. A well-appointed laundry sits off the kitchen, out of the way but never far.

A junior wing opens off the living space, with two carpeted bedrooms, built-in robes, a separate WC and a gorgeous new fully tiled family bathroom. The current owners use one of these rooms as their own, taking advantage of direct access to the rear patio and the mirror-fronted robe that reflects the garden along one wall - a reminder that this floor plan works more than one way, depending on what a household needs.

Past the open-plan space, a poolside entertaining area sits under a high gable with an overhead fan, the pool backed by bushland. From here, the garden invites exploring - archways, a winter creek, colour that holds through the seasons - all the way to the gate onto Barlee St Reserve. A double garage with auto roller door, solar panels and a sprinkler system take care of the practical side of things. The 7.5m x 6m gabled workshop positioned to the side of the home has direct vehicle access from the driveway entry.

The shops and cafes of the Mundaring Village are only minutes away - Local Schools, Government and Private, Primary and Secondary, are all within easy reach, as is the Mundaring Arena/Recreation Ground, Mundaring Sporting Club, Golf Course and the Heritage Trail, which offers hours of walking and riding. Bus routes and road links put Midland, the airport and the CBD within a manageable commute, away - close enough for the everyday.
