This home and property has been loved by 4 families over the last 110 years. Rare salvaged materials like the Huon and Oregan pine cupboards from a girls school, 6m jarrah posts from the old Perth Railway station, jarrah ceiling beams from the South Perth Ballroom and the bifold doors and many of the larger windows from Winterbottom’s showrooms have all been incorporated in this amazing restoration. Recently, the current owners have wrapped this property with their love and appreciation of it’s historic features, maintained them and improved them as needed.

As you drive up to this property you will be impressed by it’s stunning street appeal. It really is something special with white picket fences, gorgeous front lawn and wonderful, wide verandahs to sit on and enjoy a lovely spring afternoon chatting to family and friends. I can imagine festive lights adorning the verandahs and picnic blankets out on the lawn to celebrate your special occasions and playing bocce with children’s laughter in the background.

On entering this bespoke home you will be greeted by a large central hallway with jarrah dado walls and 3 metre high ceilings. Off this hallway you will find the 3 double bedrooms and the lovely front formal lounge room. These rooms feature restored and maintained filigree ceilings, jarrah floorboards, jarrah dado walls and French doors leading out to the verandahs. The formal lounge features a Jetmaster fireplace making it the perfect cosy winter space.

Towards the rear of the home is the open plan meals, living and kitchen. A row of French windows adorning the north facing wall gives homage to the pretty garden outside of bamboo, palms and sweet magnolias. Architectural features of raked ceilings with jarrah beams and exposed brick walls along with the French Godin slow combustion fire and salt glazed old quarry tiles give this area warmth and a sense of being. The kitchen has been renovated with lovely white cabinetry and wooden bench tops. Top quality Smeg appliances will please the cook of the home along with the old wood burning range which would be a treat to use on a chilly winters weekend.

The bathroom and laundry have been renovated in keeping with the style of the home at the same time providing modern conveniences. A clever study area has been created down this side of the home away from the living areas and overlooking the tranquil side garden.

Not only is the home special so is the landholding. The property offers a pool, huge workshop, orchard, natural bushland, a winter spring feed dam and even room for a pony! The pool is decked with a Bali style gazebo creating a wonderful entertaining space for a balmy summers evening. The huge workshop, with 3 phase power and water, has been added on to recently giving it space for almost any pursuit; classic cars, a home business, for those who like to tinker or for those who like to create. Rear access from Eason St is an added bonus. The towering jarrah ceiling in the original section gives it so much character it would make the most amazing artist’s studio and gallery.

The land is also, a little bit of paradise for children a wonderful place to develop their love for all things natural, to collect eggs from chickens and harvest fruit from your very own orchard.

Ambeurja is a one of a kind, situated in one of the prettiest streets of this historic location. It does still need a bit of work done to it but would be a wonderful legacy to leave to future generations. Close to schools and an array of shops and services in the village of Mundaring and an easy commute to the airport, 19km and city, 38km.
