Mount Helena WA 6082

Wide, solid jarrah floorboards throughout bring cohesion and a sense of permanence from the moment you enter the front door. To one side of the entrance is a large study with a long wrap-around jarrah desk - ideal for a home office, this room sits quietly at the front of the home away from distractions. A sense of calm continues across the hallway in the tranquil sitting room and formal dining room where muted, warm colours and plush carpet bring an air of cosseted luxury.
The first of three large living areas - the open family room/kitchen sits at the centre of the home. The family room with a built-in bar (and walk-in liquor cupboard) is a fantastic informal space, visible from the kitchen yet arranged to give a degree of division and allows for the kids to play or watch TV while dinner is being prepared. The kitchen is stunning, white cabinetry and deep granite benchtops define this functional space. A corner pantry, two utility cabinets, wide oven, induction cooktop and dishwasher make for fuss-free prep and clean up. A breakfast nook with views to the alfresco deck sits between the kitchen and family room.
Behind the kitchen is a billiard room large enough for a competition-size table. This flexible space could be put to many uses. French doors open from here and the family room to the alfresco entertaining zone. The concept of seamless movement from room to room is nowhere better expressed than in the clever way this home wraps itself around its central alfresco area.
Enclosed on three sides - with French doors to the family room, billiard room and bedroom wing - this impressive open space with a built-in BBQ, wok burner, fridge and pizza oven affords restful views of lawn surrounded by formal gardens with a backdrop of native landscape. Sheltered, with room for a sofa and chairs, there will not be many days of the year when this isn't the best place to be.
The master suite and three junior bedrooms, are arranged along the western side of the home and shaded by the wrap-around verandah and established citrus trees. The three large junior bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and are convenient to the modern, easy-care family bathroom with plantation shutters and feature stone vanity and sink. A powder room, linen press and walk-through laundry with ample storage are arranged along the hallway of the bedroom wing. The generous main bedroom with a fabulous walk-in wardrobe and spa ensuite with separate double vanities occupies one end of the wing to heighten the feeling of privacy.
The current owners describe this home as a wonderful place to raise kids - at every age. When they are young you can all congregate in the family room/kitchen, as they grow, the billiard room provides a separate yet connected space for when friends come over - when they are teenagers, it can be closed off to provide a space of their own. Outdoors there is plenty of room for building cubbies, keeping chickens and growing vegetables and the fire pit is sure to be central to many memorable parties.
Surrounded by a garden of fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and lawns, the home is perfectly situated within its natural environment. A secluded, below ground pool, set under shade sails and with elevated decking will most certainly be a favourite feature with everyone - a screen of palm trees creates a private oasis for swimming, lounging and pool-side kangaroo-spotting.
With room to store a boat, a car collection and more, the concrete-floored, Colorbond shed with 3-phase power is huge. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, automatic salt pool with solar heating, spray-sealed driveway and a 4-car carport all underline the practicality and effortless style embodied in this family home. A home that promises an enduring, adaptable, welcoming and flexible base for your family now and for years to come.
