Just past the tiled entry sits a formal lounge and dining room, with doors that actually close – so grown-up conversation doesn’t have to compete with Bluey on repeat two rooms over. A north-facing bay window floods the room with winter sun, so those shorter days feel less like something to get through and more like something to enjoy, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the carpet.
The main bedroom is arranged at the front of the home, with its own bay window, a mirrored built-in robe and a ceiling fan for the warmer months. The ensuite comes with a separate WC – a small thing, perhaps, but the kind of detail that makes mornings run smoother for a busy household.
Down in the junior wing, three further bedrooms are carpeted, two of them looking out over the backyard, and each fitted with either a built-in robe or a robe recess. These rooms share a family bathroom with a tub, shower and vanity, and there’s a walk-through laundry with its own separate WC. A generous walk-in linen press and a double hall closet round out the storage – the sort of practical feature that families with growing kids know are indispensable.
The kitchen sits at the centre of it all, accessible from the tiled hall, through the formal dining room, or via a shopper’s entry straight from the double carport – handy on days you arrive home with tired kids and bags full of groceries. Open to a relaxed family room and meals area, the kitchen itself has timber cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, an integrated breakfast bar and both an electric oven and gas cooktop for whoever does the cooking. A corner window looks out over a lush fernery, while air conditioning and a gas bayonet keep this central living zone comfortable, whatever the season throws at it.
Slide the door open, and you’re out on an elevated paved verandah, looking over a level lawn and a garden shed – an easy spot for a morning cup of tea or an evening glass of wine once the kids are finally in bed. The gardens carry real history, with rose bushes, a tall jacaranda and plum trees that put on a proper show of blossom each spring, a quiet nod to the block’s past as part of an orchard. It’s the kind of backyard that seems to invite years of cubby houses, birthday parties and Sunday afternoons – a place where memories get made without anyone really trying.
The appeal of this home is obvious – the bones are good, the block is generous, and the location means Mundaring Village is an easy stroll away, along with the Heritage Trail, the Sculpture Park and the local schools. This means the daily rhythm of school runs, weekend markets and after-school walks all sit comfortably within reach, on foot, without ever needing to reach for the car keys.
For a family seeking space to spread out, a garden with some age and character, and a location that makes everyday life a little easier, this is a home that rewards a closer look. Bring your own ideas for the finishing touches, and let the Hills do what they do best – give your kids the kind of childhood that sticks with them.
