MAIN HOME
Built in 1984, this solid brick and tile family home has been given plenty of love and attention over the years including the installation of a bespoke Tasmanian Oak kitchen, which contrasts beautifully with the polished Jarrah floorboards. The kitchen also has a 90cm freestanding electric oven and gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher and built-in pantry. The comfortable open plan living and dining area has a slow combustion fire, ducted evaporative cooling and vacuum systems.
Newly polished WA Blackbutt flooring shines in the formal lounge and flows into the master suite, which has built-in Jarrah robes and an ensuite. Glorious timbers are a wonderful feature throughout this home as is its ample storage. The junior bedrooms share a family bathroom and are unusual in that they all have built-in robes, desks, bookshelves and cabinetry, which utilise the space very efficiently.
SECOND HOME
A more recent addition to the property, this slightly elevated two bedroom one bathroom 'granny' flat is clad in hardiplank and iron, and has a two-level timber alfresco deck linking it to the landscaped front garden. Spacious and light, it features Tasmanian Oak on the floor and in the kitchen cabinetry, plus a stainless steel electric oven and gas cooktop. In addition to the open plan living area, there are two linked versatile activity rooms, which would make a perfect sewing room and study. The large master bedroom has a bank of built-in robes and it shares a bathroom and laundry with the second bedroom.
OUTSIDE
There's nearly always something that needs doing on acreage properties in the Hills - gardening, building a shed, fitting reticulation, installing a water tank - but not here. This property has already ticked most of the boxes on your average infrastructure wish list including three large tanks (two concrete one steel) totalling approximately 270,000L of rainwater, as well as a bore and holding tank to feed the extensive reticulation system that services most of the sprawling garden and orchard. A graceful wisteria arbour, which can be lit up at night, winds through beautiful gardens, the 'Orchard Walk' and lawn linking the main and second home. Enjoy a morning cuppa from the cute timber and iron gazebo and/or entertain friends on the rear alfresco patio, which overlooks the reticulated edible gardens chock full of fruit trees, vegetable beds and a fantastic chook yard.
There's a huge powered workshop and lean-to currently used for serious woodworking activities plus a variety of smaller storage and machinery sheds, an oversized double garage and a double carport for the second home. Add to that a cubbyhouse and giant chess board for entertaining the kids, and a shadehouse and potting shed for entertaining the green thumb in the family.
Backing onto a peaceful bush reserve, there are endless walking trails for the active naturalist and it's only a few minutes drive from the town of Mount Helena where there are schools, shops, parks, a pub and a pool for your enjoyment. Accommodating all manner of family configurations and needs, this practical and beautiful property has something for everyone.
