Set in the sought-after dress-circle in Lesmurdie, with sweeping views across the coastal plain to the city and beyond, this distinctive two-storey residence offers space, flexibility and a wonderful sense of individuality.
Built in 1969 and positioned on a generous 1,419sqm block, the home combines updated interiors with the character and proportions of its era. Multiple living areas, accommodation across two separate levels, established gardens and an impressive collection of outdoor spaces create a property that can adapt to many different lifestyles.
The upper level forms the heart of the home, where the modern open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas enjoy an abundance of natural light and magnificent outlooks. Large windows and sliding doors frame the views, while a wood combustion fireplace adds warmth and character. A generous wraparound balcony incorporates a sheltered timber-decked patio, creating an inviting place to relax while enjoying the peaceful garden setting.
Also on this level are two bedrooms with built-in robes, a versatile study and a family bathroom with a bath and shower. A spacious covered alfresco area overlooks the established gardens, offering another peaceful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The ground floor provides a remarkably flexible second living zone, complete with its own kitchen, dining and living areas, bedroom, ensuite and separate entrance. It is ideal for extended family, older children, guests or anyone seeking additional privacy and independence. The two levels were previously connected by internal stairs, offering the potential to reinstate the connection if desired.
Outdoor living is a real highlight. The enclosed outdoor theatre creates a memorable space for movie nights and entertaining, while the adjoining patio and elevated spa provide plenty of choice for relaxing throughout the seasons. Mature trees, lawns and established planting surround the home, creating privacy and a lovely Hills atmosphere.
A separate 16sqm studio, converted from the former garage, offers further versatility as a home office, creative space, gym or retreat. There is also a double carport, several garden sheds, generous storage and additional driveway parking.
Comfortable and full of personality as it stands, the property also presents an exciting opportunity for buyers wishing to add their own style. While some areas would benefit from further updating and external maintenance, the substantial layout, panoramic outlook and sought-after location provide an excellent foundation for the future.

Like Kalamunda, the development of the "Lesmurdie" area is closely tied to the exploitation of the Jarrah forest in the region by the Canning Jarrah Timber Company Ltd. In 1897, Mr Archibald Sanderson, a Perth journalist commenced the acquisition of a number of these properties, with a view to building up a "rural retreat" and he named his property "Lesmurdie". Lesmurdie Cottage was a shooting-box in Banffshire, Scotland, near Dufftown and was let to Mr Sanderson's father for shooting. It was in memory of this cottage that Sanderson applied the name to his property.
The suburb has two shopping centres in the area including Lesmurdie Village on Sanderson Road and the Lesmurdie Road Shopping Centre on the corner of Rooth Rd and Lesmurdie Rd. There are three primary schools including Lesmurdie Primary School, Falls Road Primary School and St Brigid's, and also three high schools including Lesmurdie Senior High School, Mazenod College for boys and St Brigid's College for girls.
