Description
This renovated 1968 home sits at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in Mahogany Creek, where a winter creek runs nearby, and nature’s beauty feels closer than the city ever did. The line of the roof announces its mid-century credentials before you’ve even pulled up – and inside, those credentials are quietly maintained through jarrah floors, ceiling-height windows and a roofline that still commands attention more than five decades after it was raised.

What makes this home work is the way it’s been reconfigured without sacrificing its original layout. What was probably the original garage now serves as a second living room – a practical reinvention that gives families room to spread out without losing the home’s original character. This space leads to the outdoor entertaining area and private backyard. A step up brings you into the original living zone, where jarrah floors extend across an open-plan area anchored by an original fireplace upgraded with a slow-combustion insert. The full-height window follows the roof’s pitch, and the light that pours through it changes with the seasons.
The kitchen occupies one corner, modest in footprint but functional, with stone-look benchtops and a freestanding oven. A servery window opens onto the dining room, which feels semi-formal in the way mid-century homes often do – a space that can shift between weeknight dinners and something more considered when the occasion calls for it. The dining room steps out to an elevated deck, a spot where you can stand with your morning coffee and scan the backyard while the day is still quiet. Behind the kitchen, a walk-through laundry keeps things moving efficiently – the kind of layout that makes sense when you’re actually living in a house rather than scrolling through pictures and dreaming.
The bedroom wing radiates from a central hallway that also services the family bathroom and a separate WC. The main bedroom has air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a large window that frames the alfresco area. The two junior bedrooms share jarrah floors and generous proportions, with the larger fitted with a ceiling fan.
Outside, the north-facing backyard is divided into two distinct zones. A central lawn provides open space, and a paved patio sits alongside the large covered alfresco area – enough room to host without feeling cramped. Stone-walled gardens run along both boundaries, adding structure and a sense of enclosure. A corrugated-iron shed with a small verandah, power and a concrete floor occupies one corner of the block. Two rainwater tanks with a pump are used to water the back yard, and the front garden is reticulated.
A pair of picket gates opens to a tandem carport along the home’s eastern side, providing covered parking for two vehicles. The landscaped block offers enough land to feel grounded without becoming a weekend chore, and the cul-de-sac location means traffic is limited to residents and the occasional lost delivery driver.
This is a home that’s been thoughtfully updated without losing its original voice. The bones are good, the position is convenient, and the mid-century details are intact enough to feel authentic rather than reconstructed.
Mundaring’s shops and services are a short drive away, primary schools are within easy reach, and the commute to Perth CBD or the airport follows a straightforward route along Great Eastern Highway. For buyers seeking their first Hills home, it offers a balance between character and convenience – a place where you can settle in without needing to undertake major works, but with enough original features to feel like you’re living in something with history rather than a blank slate
