Spacious comfort in Hills
By Ross Haig

Manicured bush aptly describes the environment of this immaculately presented Kalamunda home. The deep rectangular 5339sqm block on the lower reaches of the scarp is screened from view by a tall timber fence, while a nature reserve and winter creek on its western border serve as a buffer from neighbours and add to the playtime opportunities for active young children. Over the years the owner has thinned out scraggly elements of the block and replanted with more orderly, colourful native bushes and some deciduous trees, allowing the extensively upgraded brick and iron home to integrate more naturally with its surrounds, where meandering trails cut through outcrops of boulders. A long pebble driveway maintains the natural tone of the property, passing by a detached steel-framed workshop and garage with two bays inside and a third open bay elevated to 2.5m to allow clearance for a caravan or boat. Near where the driveway broadens to provide guest parking there is a second machinery shed and wood bay, and a secluded brick artist’s studio and attached metal storage shed that overlooks the 90,000 litre pool. Some creative renovation has lifted the home from its late 1970s style to a much more contemporary mode. Internal exposed brickwork has gained a white sand render, the step-down lounge featuring exposed jarrah floorboards, and much of the rest of the home has terracotta floor tiles that tone in well with the crisp dcor. The ensuite and main bathroom have undergone full restoration, as has the kitchen, fitted with stainless-steel appliances, including a double-door Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and cherry-coloured vinyl wrap cupboards and grey-blue square-formed benchtops. A slow-combustion stove warms this family and meals area and in the lounge is a wood heater with an external wood chute. Big picture windows in a satin aluminium finish admit light and garden colour to the north facing sunroom, and to the lounge, which opens out to a shaded deck where there are views across to the central city area.
