Property Details

Description

There’s a lot to love about this property, and it doesn’t take long to see why. Rural Building Company built this home in 1996 to suit the realities of family life– and it shows. The floor plan reflects the day-to-day demands and realities; a powered workshop and alfresco living zone add to the appeal while the 4.9-acre bush block gives the whole property a sense of space and freedom – true markers of Hills living.

Set on a fully fenced 4.95 acre bush block, this brick and iron home delivers the kind of space, flexibility and lifestyle that’s hard to come by. The east-west orientation makes the most of natural light, and from the moment you arrive – stepping onto the brick-paved wrap-around verandah and through the double front doors – the home feels both substantial and welcoming.

The layout has been well thought through. A formal entry with decorative tile floor sets the tone, with pairs of French doors opening on either side – to the open plan family and meals room on one hand, and the formal lounge and dining room on the other. Both spaces benefit from dual-aspect glazing and high ceilings with exposed beams.

A large, well-appointed country kitchen sits at the centre of it all – with its five-burner gas hob, electric wall oven, integrated breakfast bar and dishwasher – connecting the living zones in a way that makes the home feel open and cohesive. A slow combustion fire and split-system air conditioning keep things comfortable whatever the season.

The bedroom configuration is one of this home’s strongest suits. The principal suite is quietly removed from the rest of the house, positioned off the formal lounge and dining room with timber-look floors, a walk-in robe and an ensuite. The three junior bedrooms occupy their own wing off a central hall – two with built-in robes and ceiling fans, the third currently used as a home office with its own split-system. It’s a floor plan that gives everyone their own space while keeping the family connected.

Outside, the alfresco entertaining zone is a genuine highlight. Set under a high-pitched roof with wide louvred timber walls, there’s room to seat a crowd, a bar with sink and storage, power, and a water feature that adds a layer of calm to proceedings. It’s the kind of space that gets used – often.

Further up the block, the 14.2 m × 14.2 m powered workshop with concrete floor, four doors, lockable storeroom and mezzanine is a serious asset – whether you’re a tradie, a hobbyist or simply someone who values having room to work and store.

Mount Helena sits in a sweet spot in the Perth Hills – far enough from the city to feel like a genuine escape, close enough to make daily life practical. Mundaring Village is around seven minutes by car, Midland city centre roughly 20 minutes, and the Perth CBD and Perth Airport are both comfortably within 45–50 minutes depending on traffic.

Families are well served locally. Mount Helena Primary School and Eastern Hills Senior High School are both right on the doorstep – sitting side by side on Keane Street East, which is as convenient as it gets. For independent schooling, there are several options within easy reach – Helena College in Glen Forrest, Steiner schools in Parkerville, and Mundaring Christian College among them.

For families who want more than four walls, this property delivers on every level. The floor plan is genuinely clever, the outdoor spaces are built for real life and the block offers the kind of freedom that’s increasingly hard to find within an easy commute of the city. Add the workshop, and a location that puts schools, shops and the city well within reach – and the case for this property is irresistable.
