22 Honey Street, Mount Helena WA 6082

If your house hunting is not aimed towards cookie-cutter suburban bland because you're more of the romantic renegade type, this property is calling your name. If you're a dream maker, you don't mind rolling up your sleeves, and you absolutely cannot wait to brush cobwebs off your imagination and turn a vintage dame into a heart with soul, look no further. Set on a huge block of pretty, gently sloping land, this 1930s character cottage is surrounded by old fruit trees still bravely producing, birds who think they own the place, and that unmistakable cottage-in-the-bush magic that's getting more rare every year. There's so much room. Room for veggie beds, chickens, a cubby (or two!), a firepit, and all the wholesome Hills living cliches you unabashedly want.

The cottage itself is a new story unfolding. It's raw and honest; partially peeled back to its bones so you get a little taste of the 'before' to see how stunning the 'after' could be. Some reno work has been started, mostly removal, revealing some beautiful original timber floorboards that harmonise with the exposed timber beams overhead. The big pot belly stove anchors the main living areas and will keep you oh so cosy during the Winter months, there are two bedrooms and one larger-than-expected bathroom with some elements you might choose to keep or reimagine, but the point is, you have space. Space to revamp, replace, restore, and put your stamp on this charming spot without wrestling with awkward configurations of someone else's extensions or tiny rooms. The kitchen has had its flooring stripped and currently wears a basic but functional setup with cabinetry and a large freestanding oven, ready for hearty meals to keep the troops fed while you dream up the bespoke masterpiece it's all destined to become.
