AN AMAZING and RARE OPPORTUNITY to BUY in the HILLS' Dress CirclePerched on the edge of the Darling Scarp and boasting the most incredible panoramic vistas, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom property is one of a kind. Built in 1980, this distinct home is one of the few constructed in this era remaining true to its architectural ethos; with the bonus of a self-contained granny flat with its own laundry facilities and modern upgrades ideal for extended families. The new owners of this split-level home will fall in love with the soaring ceilings, the connection to nature and the views encapsulated by the split-level design. Open-plan living and dining at the heart of the home feature timber-lined cathedral ceilings, polished slate flooring, walk-in pantry, a fireplace and access to alfresco dining adorned with a trailing grapevine. In addition to mature flowering plants, herbaceous borders, shrubs and trees, the landscaped grounds showcase the sweeping and uninterrupted views reaching for the coast. Multiple decks, courtyards, a shady walled garden and a below-ground pool further enhance year-round outdoor living. As the block scales down the ridge sharply from the lawn into natural bushland, and with the nearest homes 25 metres down the hill, imagine the serenity soothed by bird songs in this quiet cul-de-sac. Photos and words don't do this clinker brick and clay tiled roof home justice; you need to see it to fully appreciate the architecture and decor. Renovators will appreciate the opportunity to add value by retaining the unique architecture and modernising the interiors. This superb block could also inspire investors to build a spectacular home, capturing those priceless vistas and gorgeous gardens. You might be on top of the world, or at least the Darling Scarp, but you have everything you need and desire a short distance away, including Kalamunda village where you'll find a range of cafes, boutiques, supermarkets, medical facilities, Kalamunda Water Park and galleries (including the Zig Zag Cultural Centre), as well as artisan and farmers markets each weekend. The area boasts several excellent public and private schools, such as Kalamunda Senior High School, revered for its art programs. The Perth Hills is a mecca for trekking and cycling and you're close to many trails, including the renowned Munda Biddi Trail and 1000km Bibbulman Track trailing all the way to Albany. The nearby Bickley Valley delights with wineries, cideries, family-run orchards (where you can harvest your own fruit), outstanding cuisine and scenery galore - just as well you have a wine cellar to stock. For those times you need to leave this idyllic spot, you have easy access to bus routes and arterial roads taking you directly into the city, Perth airport and beyond. Immaculately presented throughout, this solid home is move-in ready for large and/or extended families. The granny flat is perfect for older parents or children craving their own space and independence, as it is private access and separate outdoor living. Alternatively, the granny flat would be a stunning place to work from, or to design your dream gym/yoga/pilates studio or as a creative space, and as it's tiled, it would be easy to clean up any paint spillages.Nigel Peters is looking forward to your enquiry on 0407 212 156 to discuss the many options this premium property presents.
