Come home to a piece of Hills' history. Built in 1938 as Donovan's Service Station, this charming property was relocated, updated and expanded to create a flexible family home with high ceilings, jarrah and blackbutt floors and an open plan family/meals area. The 2646 sqm block is steps from John Forrest National Park, within walking distance of Helena College and a 5-minute drive from the bustling village of Mundaring.3 beds 2 baths 3 WC Expanded 1938 cottageHigh ceilings, jarrah floorFamily room w SC fireOP kitchen/meals areaBelow ground salt pool3-phase pwd workshopOutdoor entertaining2646 sqm (1/2-acre) lotWalk to Helena CollegeMany original 1938 features remain in a home that has been expanded to create a floorplan with multiple living zones, an open plan kitchen and meals area and a multipurpose activity/playroom/study.
