LARGE FAMILY HOME AMONGST THE TREES
When Mr. Williamson penned his iconic song about living amongst the gum trees, I do believe this is what he was referring to; when your hectic life falls away and everything becomes about the slow pace of hills living, the family of kangaroos, the Quendas racing around the porch – you will know you made the best decision ever when you are embedded in it. We may not have a rocking chair, but you can most certainly BYO. And, if you are looking for a well-built, blank canvas in this world of mid to high millions acreage, then this is the one you need to see.
I love one owner homes; they have stories like no other. The owners know them back to front and can tell you everything about them – where every pipe is, where things were changed – where is the best place to sit in the afternoon and what plants are where. What is more, this one was built at a time when building a home meant a really solid, well-built family home. North facing, tucked away at the back of some magical real estate, it’s just a short drive to Stoneville township and a few more to Mundaring. And there is something about this block – bush for the most part but has almost a full acre that has been fenced for pets and is full of grass trees. It is just lovely, and we can tell you that the more time you spend here, the better it gets.
The house – it’s a really good size with a welcoming and shady wide veranda, a huge entry hall, a high roof pitch and a double garage under the main roof. Inside there are two superb living areas, big bedrooms with good views of the land, a large ensuite, big kids’ bathroom, lots of robes and storage and a huge country kitchen with not one but TWO massive pantries and timber – it’s got timber! With solar hot water and everything else electric; with natural wood heating you don’t even need those pesky gas bottles. It has a lovely, homely feel so I can only imagine how nice it will be once it’s done up a little more.
So, let’s be upfront, there is some work to be done, hence the modest price. The carpets have been removed which means you can easily paint first, then refloor, put in some aircon and curtains and I promise you this will be an amazing home. It’s got a very good layout for heating and cooling, and there are 2 wood heaters for winter and pink batts in the roof. There is even a wood heater out in the Studio, so it’s lucky you’ve got lots of vertical firewood here! Decorating aside, it is in superb shape, you just need to jazz it up a bit and given the prices of near on 6-acre properties right now, it is well worth your time to do just that.
To the studio! Brick and iron and simply cavernous, awesome if you want to run a home office, an art studio, a person cave or even a workshop. It’s got its own toilet and kitchenette so this could be anything you want or need – but it adds so much value to the property – I wish I had one just like it.
On the property there is plenty of water from TWO big tanks, it is fully fenced, and it makes for a magic wander around the perimeter. There are a multitude of fruit trees including an established grape vine and so many glorious grass trees. The bird life is phenomenal – and if you want your own, there is a chook pen and tool shed.
We are ready to show you so come on in and take a look around – call to view please – don’t wait for a home open!
