Hovea WA 6071

If your property ownership dreams include a creamy character cottage straight out of a storybook, this heavenly slice of Hovea is about to woo your heart. Set on the prettiest of 5 acre blocks, this home has everything you've ever wanted for that picture perfect family life - from the wide, shady verandahs to the spectacular family room with one-of-a-kind ceiling to the sweet tyre swing waiting for a young person to love it, just hanging in the ancient gum. This place isn't just pretty. It's stunning. Sweeping views, garden walks with the kids to pluck a strawberry or two from the veggie patches, and long, lazy Tuscan-style lunches under a grapevine arbour that's just begging to host the best type of gathering. With a long, tree-lined driveway and automatic gates that make a grand entrance, this property is the definition of Hills charm. Oh goodness, wait until you see it lit up at night!

Inside? It gets even better. Originally built in the roaring '20s and beautifully extended by the renowned Allan Davies in the '90s, this cottage oozes character and feels like home the moment you walk through the door. The first thing you'll notice? Those breathtaking high, raked ceilings - even in the main bedroom - giving the house an airy, expansive vibe that's impossible to ignore. The formal lounge is pure magic: soaring ceilings, big timber windows, and a wood fire set for snuggling. The open-plan living area is flooded with natural light, and you'll love cooking up a storm in the gourmet kitchen, with granite benchtops and a pantry big enough to store absolutely every single thing you could ever need. There are two well-appointed bathrooms (with three toilets, so no morning rush dramas), and a bonus study for anyone working from home. And then there's Allan Davies' famous indoor-outdoor entertaining room; a standout feature that connects the inside with the great outdoors. This house is all about blending classic charm and a nod towards history with luxe, modern convenience and it nails it.
