665 Osborne Street, Mount Helena WA 6082

Rustic Hideaway

Admittedly this home is not the flashiest on the block, but there's plenty of magic to be found. It was constructed in the '70s, and no doubt there are plenty of amazing stories and fond memories contained within - if only walls could talk! Raked ceilings, an open fireplace, and Jarrah floorboards carry the original character of this home through to present day, with interesting features such as the curved pony wall and floor to ceiling shelving and cupboards not often found anymore. What it lacks in modern pizzazz it certainly makes up for with a warm and welcoming vibe, and a big dose of good old-fashioned charm.

There's plenty of storage and activity space in this home, which will suit a rambunctious family or anyone who loves hosting loved ones and showing off the beauty of the Mundaring Hills region. Aside from the generously sized laundry, kitchen, and living areas, there's also the main bedroom with its built-in wardrobe, which could easily become a bit of a sanctuary if you add in some potted plants, a rug, and a comfy armchair. This hideaway feeling isn't limited to the bedroom but is echoed throughout the property with an expanse of gorgeous natural bushland shielding the road from view and providing a sense of seclusion and privacy. Wildflowers and native animals round out this storybook property nicely; nature lovers will adore it all.

There's space here to do whatever you like. The promise of a pool in the future is a major drawcard, but as it is there's plenty to love already and - potential pool aside - winter could easily become your favourite season in such a place. Bonfires are certainly on the cards, or intimate gatherings around a fire pit with warm drinks in hand. There's a small orchard to pick from, a fenced area for a pet or three, and more than enough room for the ultimate veggie patch of your dreams. Or a food forest!? This is the kind of property where you head outside for a spot of weeding and end up happily pottering about for hours without a care in the world (beside where you put your gardening gloves). Unpolished gems aren't for everyone, but this one could be just right for you.

This bushland beauty is waiting for you.
