Built in 2001 using passive solar design principles, the owners doubled the size of the home in 2009 with a fantastic, two-storey extension, which dovetails neatly with the look and feel of the original building. The spacious open plan living area has a reverse cycle air-conditioner and a simple, neat kitchen with a timber island bench, freestanding gas oven, gas cooktop and stainless steel dishwasher. Up one end of the living room is a study nook with a desk hidden neatly behind double doors in the style of a European laundry. Big family gathering at Christmas? Not a problem in this long dining room, which encourages convivial entertaining of large groups. Or alternatively head outside to the large brick paved terrace off the verandah, which has a slow combustion fire for chilly nights.
The three junior bedrooms are carpeted, two have reverse cycle air-conditioners and built-in robes and they share a family bathroom. There is a powder room plus a shower and toilet in the laundry or mudroom, which is very handy when you re coming in and out from work in the garden or shed. The family/games room has two sets of glazed doors out onto the terrace and is a lovely, bright activity space near the kids bedrooms.
Ascend the stairs to heaven for parents. The spacious, comfortable lounge room has two reverse cycle air-conditioners, soft carpet underfoot, feature light fittings and sliding doors on either side of the room that open onto the deep, three-sided alfresco deck where sunset drinks should be made mandatory daily relaxation. The deluxe master suite has beautiful timber French doors, another reverse cycle air-conditioner and an extra long, fabulous ensuite with a separate powder room. The massive walk-in robe has an attic ladder leading up to a generous storage area above.
Down to the practical nuts and bolts: the home sports ember defender fire sprinkler protection on the roof alongside a 5kW PV system shared between the residence and one of the two fantastic powered, concrete floor workshops. The workshop closest to the house has shelving and open-ended, high bay parking at either end for caravans or machinery. Perfect for hiding away and working on cars, the other workshop sits away from the house and has three roller doors, a ducted evaporative cooling system and plenty of powerpoints.
No need to worry about water: the property has a high yield potable bore, a 120,000L steel tank, two small dams (one spring-fed) and an ATU septic system that reticulates parts of the garden. Managed under the principles of Land For Wildlife, this secluded, peaceful property is a haven for native flora and fauna, helped along by plantings around the house that attract a riot of birds. There are numerous, productive fruit trees in the chookyard, beautiful wildflowers all year round, endless gravel tracks and a circular driveway for kids to explore on their bikes.
The largest property in the subdivision, it is part of a welcoming and friendly community with active local bush care and bushfire ready groups. It s located just a short drive to Mundaring town centre, schools and services, and 25 minutes to Midland, yet you ll feel like you re a million miles away.
