Tall lemon-scented gums and pretty agapanthus line a meandering circular driveway that leads to stone steps and a wide front porch embraced by cottage gardens. Formal entry is via a grande old foyer that opens onto a spacious and airy lounge room. Newly fitted with plush carpets, this elegant space enjoys light from a large bank of colonial style windows and doors on two sides making it a lovely place to relax and read a book or entertain friends. The slow combustion fire keeps you warm and toasty in winter and a split system air-conditioner holds summer heat at bay.
The original kitchen and meals area will delight lovers of vintage design with its ornate pressed tin detailing and a pretty wallpaper feature. New vinyl flooring has given it a clean, bright lift but underneath lie beautiful, thick, original Jarrah floorboards, a renovator s treasure if you re so inclined. The kitchen has a timber-lined, raked ceiling, which adds warmth to the rustic homely feel and leads out to a shady paved patio area that overlooks a sparkling below ground pool. Gorgeous pink climbing roses ramble over the fence beside the pool and join with established rose gardens and stone pathways that wind around the house.
Working fireplaces in three of the four bedrooms tell a story of times gone by in this historic home, while adding ambience and practical warmth to these private retreats. The master and second bedrooms have Jarrah floorboards and windows that look out over the deep front verandah. The ensuite has a shower, vanity, new toilet and a wall-mounted heater for chilly mornings with room for cupboards or a dressing table.
The third and largest bedroom is carpeted and has abundant storage along one wall. A fourth bedroom currently utilised as a library room has a cool loft space above, accessed by a ladder, that has a bank of windows through which light streams into the room. It connects through a set of French doors to a separate office or study area, also accessible off the side patio. The laundry/mud room and family bathroom are set to the rear of the home with convenient access to the backyard.

Beyond the charm of this character homestead lies the beauty of a rambling garden full of blooming roses, fruit trees, vegetable gardens and stately trees. Step out the back door into the large kangaroo-proof vegetable garden that has raised beds, fruit trees and a shady potting shed, enough to make any kitchen gardener supremely happy. The huge, grassed back area has a large holding tank for a strong bore, which is connected to a Hunter automatic reticulation system. So you need not worry about how to water all those amazing fruit trees and garden beds bursting with mango, fig, olive, loquat, plum, passionfruit and a variety of citrus. All you need think about is how to eat all the delectable produce. A huge powered workshop and storage shed, and a rustic pottery/art studio all add to this charismatic hills home.
Set on a private 4 acre, battle-ax block, adjacent bridle trails, entry to this property is via Thomas Road with a proposed secondary access way planned from Thornbill Place. Centrally located minutes from Mahogany Creek, Glen Forrest and Mundaring town centre with its shopping, transport links and other conveniences, this property is perfect for lovers of old world charm who may be looking to restore this homestead to its former glory or simply move in and enjoy the serenity.
