Mostly hidden, in a neighbourhood brimming with Hills character and with Beelu National Park directly opposite, this home sits in a landscape where it would be easy to believe little has changed since it was built. Verandahs and patios wrap around the house and gardens terraced with stone walls screen it from the road. Inside, the floorplan is flexible, with multiple living zones, a craft room and an open-plan kitchen and meals room. Windows frame timeless views from most rooms. A freestanding, air-conditioned studio/office and adjoining workshop sit at the end of the driveway. Red-tailed black cockatoos, wrens and kangaroos visit, just as they always have and in spring, when the wildflowers in the Park and along the roadside bloom, it's hard to say where the Park stops and the garden starts.

Beyond the front door, the lounge room reveals high ceilings and exposed beams. A slow-combustion fire anchors the room in the colder months, and split-system air conditioning keeps it comfortable the rest of the year. Large windows look out over the front garden, and exposed brick ties the house to its 1970s origins, as does the arched entry leading to the northern end of the plan. This multi-purpose space works as a games room, a guest room or a large, light-filled formal dining room. Timber-lined walls and ceiling, windows on two sides and an elevated position give it the feel of a tree house, and you look out through the patterned trunks of gum trees.

A pair of saloon doors separates the lounge room from the kitchen and meals area, where a bank of east-facing windows and a glass door bring in light and greenery. The timber kitchen has plenty of storage and a freestanding electric oven. Off the kitchen, a walk-through laundry/boot room has its own WC, and there's a WC for cleaning up after time in the garden.

At the start of the bedroom wing, a carpeted craft room/study has a wall of built-in storage and garden views that will either inspire your work or distract you from it. Three carpeted bedrooms open off a central hall. One of the junior rooms has built-in storage and a ceiling fan. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe, a ceiling fan and semi-ensuite access to a bathroom with a shower, vanity and WC.

The atmosphere at this property you might expect to be a long way from everything, but Mundaring Village is within easy reach for shops and services, and so are the local schools - Sacred Heart School, Mundaring Primary School and Mundaring Christian College. The Community Sculpture Park is nearby too.

Beelu National Park is integral to life here, crossed by walking paths, including the Bibbulmun Track, which runs through the Park between Mundaring Weir and Kalamunda. A walk can be a short loop before dinner or a long day out. You can walk over before work, or on a Sunday afternoon with no plan. The house takes its cue from all this: it has never tried to compete with its surroundings, and in this corner of the Perth Hills it's still easy to see why people came here in the first place.
