There are Hills properties, and then there are Hills homes - the kind shaped by years of considered care, where every corner reflects a deliberate choice to showcase its qualities. Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac in one of the Darling Range's most quietly coveted pockets, this solid jarrah-and-iron character home has thoughtfully evolved into something genuinely special: a split-level family sanctuary that balances privacy with connection, liveability with style and character with charm. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms 1989-built jarrah & iron Spacious split-level design Fantastic cooks' kitchen First-floor parents' retreat Stunning outdoor room Powered 6 x 9m workshop Auto retic, Solar and RC SS 1800 sqm landscaped lot Trails, schools, transport close The home's two-storey design oozes style and is set across several levels, with a floor plan that gives each member of the household room to breathe. From the sealed and kerbed driveway - flanked by rock-retained gardens and a water-feature atrium - the entry opens upstairs to a generous parents' retreat and primary suite, or steps down through the heart of the home toward the rear. It's the kind of house you feel yourself settle into as you move through. The parents' level is its own domain: a formal lounge or sitting room alongside the primary bedroom, cocooned yet connected by muted tones and plantation shutters featuring built in robes and a spa ensuite. Downstairs, three large junior bedrooms each include storage options; the largest "the Wood Room" is framed by a large picture window and opens through French doors to a private deck overlooking the bush reserve beyond - the sort of room a teenager never wants to leave. They share a neat family bathroom featuring a bath, shower, vanity and a separate WC. At the centre of the home, a magnificent kitchen anchors daily life with purpose. A granite-topped island bench with breakfast bar and second sink overlooks the atrium and patio; glass-fronted display cabinets, ample storage, a plumbed fridge, and a dedicated workstation make this a kitchen that takes cooking - and family life - seriously. A Neff double oven, Miele dishwasher, and Asko cooktop complete the picture. The adjoining laundry - calm, considered, with built-in storage - carries the same design conviction and flows seamlessly. Stepping down to the vast family living area, high raked ceilings and large picture windows create a sense of openness. A slow-combustion fire anchors winter evenings; Reverse cycle split system air-conditioning manages the summer months. French doors connect the living room to a spectacular outdoor room - with a span roof, sub-floor insulation, retractable screens, and remote-controlled doors on either side fashion an all-season space for gatherings large and small. Behind the home, a powered 6m x 9m Colorbond workshop with a 6m x 3m covered bay awaits the enthusiast, tradie, or hobbyist, with limited vehicle access through the rear reserve. Two water tanks supply fresh rain water to the home, automatic reticulation system currently running on scheme water, that sustains the extensive native gardens and sweeping lawn, which, along with rock walls and meandering pathways, cross the generous 1,800 sqm block. Mahogany Creek sits quietly in the Hills, a community with a deep connection to its surroundings. The Heritage Trail runs close by, and a bush reserve backs directly onto the property. Families are well-served by a strong selection of schools - Mundaring Primary, Darlington Primary, and Eastern Hills and Swan View Senior High Schools are all within easy reach. Mundaring Village - with its cafés and community facilities - is a comfortable 10-minute drive; Midland city centre is approximately 20 minutes. Perth CBD is about 45 minutes away, and Perth Airport is roughly a 35-minute drive - making this a genuine Hills address that doesn't require you to sacrifice the city entirely. For families looking for a home to grow into - one with space, soul and surroundings to match - this one is hard to look past. To arrange an inspection of this property, call Jo Sheil - 0422 491 016.
