SECRET FOREST

Whether you’re raising a brood of forest-loving babies or looking for a sense of escape without sacrificing the convenience of nearby services and facilities, this subtly renovated home offers the answer with its magical setting less than 5-minutes from Mundaring Village. The elevated property is swathed in a cloak spun from the magic and beauty of the Australian bush. Displaying a quiet modernity so as not to clash with its natural setting, the home offers a practical family layout with multiple living spaces indoors and out, an above-ground pool that appears to float in the tree canopy and a powered Colorbond garage/workshop.

The front door opens to a formal entry, currently a home office, before leading into a lateral expanse of open-plan living with an electric oven, 4-burner gas hob and a slow-combustion fireplace. Painted brick, timber benchtops and a farmhouse sink come together to fashion an atmosphere of style and easy welcome. Soft grey walls and crisp white trim offer a neutral background, allowing the home’s exquisite setting to shine.

A wide hallway at one end of the central living zone leads to a sunken lounge/media room and the main bedroom. At the end of the hall, a pair of glass doors open onto a patio paved with recycled brick leading to the decked pool. The main bedroom boasts a walk-through robe leading to a fully tiled ensuite with a shower, vanity and WC. Three bedrooms are arranged in a separate junior wing, along with a family bathroom and a powder room – a practical and sanity-saving feature when everyone is trying to get ready for their day at the same time. Ducted evaporative cooling provides summer climate control, and an open fireplace in the lounge/media room conjures visions of cosy nights watching movies or playing games.

A walk-through laundry with good storage and a functional work surface opens to a large outdoor entertaining area paved with recycled brick and with a sheltered area at one end for alfresco dining. Recycled brick paving extends around the home to provide space for outdoor living and entertaining, and flows seamlessly out to a decked, sparkling above ground pool.

The 1/2-acre block is fully fenced with a paved driveway leading to the powered Colorbond shed/garage and is embraced by a natural bush setting.

Active kids and their parents will love that Mundaring Arena and walking trails are steps from the front gate and that the bustling village of Mundaring, a choice of schools, and access to arterial roads are all a very short drive away.
