An iconic roofline and deep wrap-around verandahs declare the rural approach of this memorable Hills’ home. A floorplan centred around a vast ‘great’ room brings a relaxed informality with a stone fireplace and slow combustion fire, delicate, reclaimed leadlight windows, and a modern country kitchen with stone benchtops and blonde timber cabinetry, creating a welcome sense of calm and wellbeing.

This spacious, open-plan living area is sheltered by the extra-wide decked verandah and alfresco entertaining area at the front of the home, while highlight and bi-fold corner windows fill the space with beautiful natural light.

The kitchen sits comfortingly in one corner of the central living zone. It features modern Ariston appliances – a stainless steel dishwasher, 900 mm freestanding oven and an integrated stone breakfast bar island with ample storage. Feature bricks, honey toned cabinetry and industrial style lighting blend seamlessly to create a modern country feel. A solid timber window at the kitchen corner folds open to create a servery out to the verandah – perfect when entertaining outdoors.

Beautiful leadlight windows open the main bedroom to views across the front verandah to the surrounding landscape. A wall of built-in robes, warm feature bricks, a ceiling fan and reverse cycle air-conditioning create a serene retreat. Semi ensuite access to the sizeable, renovated bathroom underlines the pampering Spa like atmosphere. A generous second bedroom uses a pair of timber-framed windows to capture views of the garden. This is an ideal space for children or guests with a wall of built-in wardrobes, a ceiling fan, and reverse cycle air-conditioning. It is currently styled as a home office/guest room.

A deep alfresco entertaining deck with wide steps lead from the rear verandah to a sunken patio paved with recycled bricks and shaded by a mulberry tree; an easterly aspect makes this an idyllic setting for lazy weekend breakfasts. A fenced home paddock encloses a series of garden beds wound through with brick-paved paths leading to a fabulous fire pit. A nature playground with garden/woodshed, a chicken coop, double carport and a large workshop with a concrete floor allow for as much or as little rural activity as you choose.

Around 1-hour from the Perth CBD, this rural escape lets you take time out without planning or travelling for too long. Whether you relax in the beauty of the natural setting, or meander to the end of the road to paddle and walk around Lake Leschenaultia, spending time here makes the rest of the world disappear. Find your own sweet sanctuary and escape to the country.
