575 Colwyn Road, Mount Helena WA 6082

As you rise with the sun peeking through the towering gum trees, you'll wonder how you got so lucky when you found this property. This six-bedroom, three-bathroom character home tells a rich story of its origins in Bassendean before being relocated decades later to Mt Helena. The current owners have been the custodians of this extraordinary home for 25 years, where they raised their family and now it is time for you to write the next chapter.

Much of the original cottage built in 1950's has been lovingly restored, with additional bedrooms and living spaces added over the years. These extensions sympathetic to the era showcase many features carried through between the original and newer parts of the home, including high ceilings and jarrah floorboards – looking for the clues where the old meets the new adds to the intrigue.

With 276sqm of living space, this home offers loads of space for families with a parent's retreat tucked away in a separate wing, including a dedicated lounge and a large dressing room. The spacious primary bedroom and ensuite with a spa bath open onto a private deck with sweeping views of gum trees where the kookaburras and kangaroos are your only neighbours. Also in this wing is a dedicated study or the sixth bedroom with an entrance leading to a wrap-around veranda, accommodating those working from home and creative ventures in this idyllic location.

Despite the plentiful rooms, this gorgeous home feels cosy, inviting you to kick your shoes off and snuggle up in the many nooks and crannies or host memorable get-togethers with your favourite people in the open-plan living room and gourmet kitchen, sunny dining room or outdoor cabana overlooking the pool. Year-round entertaining is one highlight of living in the hills, where the wood-burning heater inspires toasty nights while the pool and spa keep the party going all summer.

It might feel like a million miles away from anywhere, but you're only around the corner from the Mount Helena Tavern, White's Mill and Grind café, Mt Helena Deli, tennis, swimming and the day spa at Amaroo Retreat. The kids can ride to school to Mount Helena Primary School or Eastern Hills Senior High School, or it's a short drive to the primary and secondary campuses of Mundaring Christian College. Easy access to Great Eastern Highway will have you in moments in Sawyers Valley, Mundaring, Glen Forrest, Darlington or Midland.

Set on a 3.29-hectare (8.13 acres) corner block, this stunning home offers the best of both worlds – all the amenities you could ever desire and an abundance of nature. Cindy & Alistair is ready for your enquiry at [email protected] or 0411 208 202 & 0402 785 877
