A multi-peaked roofline and slatted front fence are the first hints of the chic, spacious living offered by this modern home. A perfumed garden planted with gardenia and magnolias leads to the wide front door and entrance hall with sightlines to an expanse of open plan living. A plush and cocooning media room set to one side of the central hallway.

Natural light bathes this high-ceilinged family/meals/kitchen, thanks to large windows and sliding glass doors to a corner alfresco living area. Neutral coloured walls and richly toned blonde bamboo floors emphasise the generous proportions of this central space.

The kitchen features a Corian island bench with waterfall ends and an integrated breakfast bar. Ample storage – including an appliance nook ¬–surrounds a 900 mm oven, 6-burner hob and dishwasher. A full-height tiled splashback is a stylish and practical inclusion.

Sliding doors from both the kitchen and family to the alfresco entertaining area blur the distinction between indoors and out and encourage relaxed and frequent outdoor meals in the deep shade of the north-west facing alfresco entertaining zone. A tropical pavilion, water feature, central lawn, and chicken coop create an inviting and fun garden ‘room’. In addition to a shoppers’ entry, the double garage allows direct access to the backyard.

A multi-purpose work/play space marks the transition from shared spaces to the privacy of the bedroom wing. The main suite features a walk-in robe and dressing room, ensuite with shower, double vanity and separate WC and a bedroom with a large window open to views of the garden and lawn. Three junior bedrooms with built-in robes share the family bathroom and a separate WC.

Only 100 metres from the much-loved Heritage Trail and Woodbridge reserve, this Foothills home delivers the exhilaration and freedom of Hills lifestyle and the ease and convenience of nearby schools, public transport and the services and amenities of Mundaring Village and Midland CBD.
