A treasure set high on Brooking Road, on almost 2-acres of partially-cleared land, with glorious views across the valley and outlooks to Hovea and Parkerville. This beautifully renovated 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home is a wonderful opportunity for anyone longing to be surrounded by nature's beauty but unwilling to compromise on comfortable living.
The front door opens to the formal dining room where the original fireplace - fitted with a slow combustion heater - is the focus. In this modern and welcoming entertaining zone visions of time spent with family and friends over relaxed, long lunches are inescapable. This home oozes conviviality; offering winter cosiness and in summer, a wide verandah for relaxed alfresco living.
The formal loungeroom surrounds you in contentment; a quiet space ideal contemplation, curling up with a book or catching a movie. The room is fitted with a reverse-cycle air-conditioner and glass doors lead to the hall and to the activity/informal lounge room.
The activity/informal lounge room with windows on two sides offers a bright and relaxed entertaining area, with views north and west and lots of natural light the space would also make a perfect craft room or playroom. The current owners adapt this space for guests as a functional third bedroom - with access to the verandah and the family bathroom, it is ideally placed for privacy.
The main bedroom sits at the front of the home with views to the native garden, understated, graceful and finished in calming tones, this restful space promises quiet mornings absorbed in the beauty of your surroundings. The junior bedroom boasts a full-height wall of fitted wardrobes.
The white-painted kitchen with exposed beams and shiplap walls is a functional space. Pine benchtops and under bench cabinets bring a sense of warmth - the feeling here is country modern. Double French doors lead out to the side of the home where you will find the citrus orchard.
A modern and comfortable home that remains true to its origins, the predominantly white interior helps this gem to glow, while the judicious use of colour manages to feel both modern and authentic. Original features shine, while the layout allows easy movement through the home in keeping with the demands of a modern lifestyle.
The original 1900s home and cookhouse that still exist on the property add to this authenticity. These buildings are charm personified and with some work, could be transformed into a stunning artist's studio, guest house or a teen's retreat. A powered workshop behind the home and a garage/shed beside the driveway provide scope for outside activities and additional storage.
The useable block is orientated east-west and runs parallel to Strettle road, ensuring expansive views to the south. Strettle Road reserve and Nyaania Creek are steps from the front gate. Infused with style, history and nature this property is a haven in the Hills, a chance to step out of the hustle and bustle yet maintain easy connections to Mundaring Village and Midland with rail links to the Perth CBD.
