Are you all feeling the squeeze in your current home? Is everyone yearning for a little bit of breathing room plus you'd love a block where your children can run and play freely without worrying about bothering the neighbours with their wild, happy abandon? If it's time to stop living on top of each other, this remarkable 5-bedroom sanctum must be at the top of your list. It's classic '80s but extremely solid with fantastic bones and is set on 5 acres of truly lovely Hills bush. The thoughtfully designed layout, with its separate Junior and Parent wings and dedicated study, means everyone gets a space to learn, unwind, and play. When it's time to come together, you get to choose! Organise an epic board night game in the formal sunken lounge or plan Friday night pizza nights in the sun-drenched family room or, if the kids need some adult-free time, they can just toddle off to their own living area in their own wing of the home.
Everything is neat and tidy, and perfectly liveable as is. Whether you're inclined to embrace a little of the past and keep its 1980s charm, or are ready for some updates, you can take your time and transform it one room at a time. The main bedroom here holds so much possibility - it's a spacious suite away from the Junior wing with a vintage peaches and cream ensuite and semi-separate shower. Choose to modernise the ensuite or go all out creating a large ensuite and maybe turn the study into a dressing room! This entire suite is waiting to be tailored to your big vision. Equally, the brilliant foundations here would only take a little inspiration to be transformed into a modern marvel with classic features - keep the raked ceilings with exposed beams and lay new flooring in the communal living areas and you have a beautiful blend of old and new.

• 5-acre bush haven with classic 1984 built brick & tile home • 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms • Parent & Junior wing • Main suite features walk-in robe & ensuite • Separate Junior wing with some bedrooms featuring robes • Home office or study • Formal sunken lounge • Family room with raked ceilings • Split system air conditioning • Gabled patio overlooking a peaceful bush setting • Double garage • 6m x 6m 3-phase powered workshop • 4m x 6m high open carport and another 4m x 6m section • 50 kl concrete water tank • Circular gravel driveway • Bore & 22,700 litre plastic reticulation water tank • Visiting birdlife and resident bandicoots on peaceful, pristine block • Backs onto the Heritage Walk Trail • 2 hectares
While inside is bursting with options, outside is where magic is already happening. A gabled patio overlooks the pristine bush waiting for Summer BBQs and wine nights, bottomless tea with friends, or just your quiet spot for a little bit of reading on the weekends. The circular gravel driveway is fantastically functional and if you have someone who loves a DIY project or three, they'll adore the large, 3-phase powered workshop. There's also a carport and an additional storage spot so your resident Project Manager doesn't have to share their precious space. The property has two water tanks, the 50kl concrete tank for the house, and the 22,700L plastic tank filled from the bore for the retic.
And your private oasis backs onto the Heritage Walk Trail, should you and your brood need a little extra space to find connection with nature. It's about a 15-minute quiet walk to Morgan John Morgan Reserve with Train Park for the kids and Glen Forrest Gourmet for the coffee lovers. Midland is just a short drive down the hill, Mundaring an even shorter trip further up the hill, and both have access to public transport, shopping, sporting facilities, and community groups to join.
