A coherent, considered floor plan offers the flexibility families need – multiple living spaces adapt to changing priorities, giving everyone room to do their own thing but also space to come together for a movie night, catch up over dinner, or gather with friends. Slate floors in the lounge room anchor the space around the slow-combustion fireplace, an irresistible focal point through Perth Hills winters. The family room is both light, bright and cozy and radiates warmth. A corner window frames south-westerly views that shift with the seasons and a barn door creates a country ambiance that lead to the kitchen wing. Ducted, zoned reverse cycle air conditioning throughout offers both comfort and convenience.
The kitchen/dining sits at the heart of daily life, practical and spacious with abundant timber cabinetry and benchtop space that accommodates the reality of cooking for a family or entertaining friends. The servery window opening to the verandah eliminates the indoor-outdoor barrier, allowing plates, glasses, and conversation to flow seamlessly between spaces. It’s the kind of setup that makes casual entertaining actually feel casual.
The principal suite occupies its own territory at the front of the plan, with fitted robes and a fully tiled ensuite featuring both bath, shower & sep WC, providing genuine separation when needed. All three junior rooms are generous in size, carpeted and equipped with ceiling fans. One sits just inside the front door, positioned perfectly for home office use – separate enough from living areas to take calls undisturbed, close enough to feel connected. The family bathroom and a separate WC serve the junior bedrooms.
The rear veranda extends to the full width of the home, creating a protected outdoor room that catches morning light and afternoon shade. It’s the overflow space for everything – weekend breakfasts, kids’ art projects spread across the table, Friday drinks that extend into dinner. Direct access from the lounge room and a servery window in the kitchen mean the threshold disappears entirely in the warmer months.
But the workshop commands attention. This isn’t a garden shed with ambitions – it’s a 100mm polished concrete floor with strategic thickening for hoist installation, three-phase power, three high-clearance roller doors, insulation, and Colorbond construction. Whether the priority is classic car restoration, furniture making, or simply secure storage for recreational vehicles and tools, the infrastructure exists. The brick-paved carriage driveway provides direct access from the street, bypassing the home entirely, then continues to the carport and second gate.
The front gazebo makes sense of the elevated position – it’s set behind tall plantings that screen the street but still catch the breeze and late afternoon sun. Pour a drink, settle in, watch the world pass by. The nearby reserve and historic railway tunnel offer immediate access to bushland and walking trails without leaving the neighbourhood.
Swan View offers an uncommon combination of bush setting and genuine town amenities. Secondary and Primary schools, Coles, Woolworths, and IGA are all within minutes of the front gate. Brown Park and the Heritage Trail are nearby for recreation. John Forrest National Park offers access to hectares of bushland for mountain biking, trail running, and bushwalking. The historic railway tunnel – part of the Heritage Trail network – provides a tangible connection to the region’s past.
Midland’s major shopping and services are five minutes west; the airport is fifteen minutes away; and the CBD is thirty minutes away. The Midland train line offers a public transport alternative when needed. You’re removed enough that it matters, close enough that it works.
