The first home, accessed via Iron Road, began as a Hills cottage and has been thoughtfully expanded into a brick, timber and iron residence that refuses to play second fiddle. There’s nothing apologetic about these proportions – this is a home that stands confidently as a complete family residence. Step through the porticoed entry to a wide terracotta-tiled hall where an unfinished ensuite bedroom with walk-in robe awaits transformation into a parents’ retreat, complete with direct verandah access and northern light.
The kitchen charms with its quirky combination of jarrah and rattan, jewel-toned timber and a large east-facing corner window that floods the space with morning sun. Gas cooking, a farmhouse sink, and ample storage, including a built-in pantry, make this a genuinely functional space. Adjacent, a jarrah-floored room with a corner window and a wall of built-ins currently serves as an office. Still, it could easily pivot to a library, media room or studio – the kind of flexible space that adapts as family needs evolve.
Two living rooms offer distinct moods. The voluminous family room features exposed beams, a pitched ceiling, a slow-combustion fire, and French doors to the verandah, with a bay window that draws eastern light deep inside. The second living space, part of the original cottage, features jarrah wainscoting and full-height panelling, creating an atmosphere that is particularly compelling when the slow-combustion fire is lit, and winter closes in. A large bedroom with exposed beams connects to this timber-panelled room. Two finished bedrooms share the family bathroom, which includes a clawfoot tub and a walk-in shower.
The wraparound verandah is equal parts country charm and lifestyle practicality – multiple access points mean it functions as a genuine extension of the living space. To the south, an elevated spot overlooks a flourishing mandarin grove, ideal for unhurried dinners as the light fades. The eastern corner offers a quieter setting for weekend breakfast, morning coffee, birdsong, and the subtle movement of trees in the breeze.
The second home, positioned higher on the block with Richardson Road access, was built in 1985 and presents an entirely different character. Brick and iron construction, valley views, reclaimed leadlight, Toodyay stone floors and pine-lined ceilings with exposed beams create spaces that feel both substantial and inviting. The floor plan intelligently positions shared living centrally, with adult and junior zones on either side.
Enter through a leadlight-framed door to a stone-floored foyer with storage space that accommodates the reality of family life – bags, coats, shoes, sporting equipment. The lounge room announces itself with an imposing stone fireplace and a soaring, pine-lined ceiling that creates a cathedral-like volume. Doors open to a south-facing verandah, expanding entertaining options. The main suite connects directly to this living space – exposed beams, air conditioning, walk-through robe, and ensuite with both shower and corner tub establish a genuine retreat.
Deco-style leadlight doors separate formal dining from the open-plan kitchen and family room. The pine kitchen, with its raked ceiling, built-in pantry, and large east-facing window, flows seamlessly into a carpeted family space where pitched ceilings, a bay window, and a slow-combustion fireplace create warmth and character. Three generously proportioned bedrooms occupy the junior wing, one with built-in robes, all with exposed-beam ceilings and carpet underfoot, and they share the family bathroom.
Beyond the homes, ten acres of gently rolling land provide space, privacy and future possibilities – the block is subdividable, offering options for those who might eventually want to realise capital. A powered and plumbed workshop adds practical appeal for trades, hobbies or storage. Solar panels reduce running costs, the scheme water is connected, and both homes feature split-system air conditioning alongside slow-combustion fires.
The location delivers genuine convenience without sacrificing the space and character integral to a Hills lifestyle. Parkerville Primary School is nearby, as are Silver Tree Steiner School, Parkerville Steiner College, and Mundaring Christian College’s secondary campus, making school runs manageable. Mundaring Village, with its cafes, bakery, pharmacy, and community atmosphere, is a quick five-minute drive away. The Mundaring Heritage Trail offers immediate access to bushwalking, cycling and weekend adventure. Midland’s major shopping and services are approximately fifteen minutes away, Perth Airport is twenty-five minutes away, and CBD commutes typically take forty minutes via Great Eastern Highway. You’re genuinely in the Hills here, but practical access to essential services and metropolitan services remains reassuringly easy.
