A large, covered patio spanning the front of the home opens to reveal ground floor living arranged in an open plan. Terracotta-toned floor tiles, jarrah kitchen benchtops, and a limited palette of white and soft grey create a central living zone that adapts with ease to both the practicalities of family life and entertaining. <br/><br/>An electric oven, 4-burner gas hob and dishwasher are surrounded by white cabinets topped with thick jarrah in the galley-style kitchen. A large walk-in pantry provides ample storage and north-facing windows bring natural light and views of the below-ground pool and outdoor entertaining zone. A pitched ceiling, highlight windows, reverse cycle air conditioning and a slow combustion fire fashion a family room that is impossible to resist. <br/><br/>A spiral staircase rises to the second-floor parents’ retreat - a delightful, private zone with a small lounge area on the carpeted landing, an ensuite, a separate WC and a generously-proportioned main bedroom. The bedroom boasts a fitted dressing room and a sliding door to a small balcony overlooking the pool. Reverse cycle air-conditioning provides year-round climate control. Three junior bedrooms with built-in robes and carpet are arranged on the ground floor, along with a shared family bathroom, a separate WC and a walk-through laundry. <br/><br/>The outdoor living zone offers a poolside location with plenty of space for dining and seating. A gazebo and sheltered firepit expand the entertaining area, steps lead to a mostly level backyard with citrus trees, an open area for games of cricket or kick-to-kick and a large shed with drive-in access paint a classic Australian scene. Raised veggie beds continue the country life vibe, and there is ample room to build a chicken coop.<br/><br/>Alps Street is a Mount Helena jewel with homes along one side and the natural beauty of a reserve spanning the other. Access to both The Heritage Trail and the Kep Track are steps from the front gate of this impressive Hills home. Local schools and shops are within walking distance and Mundaring Village is a short drive away. <br/><br/>To arrange an inspection of this property, call Jo Sheil – 0422 491 016.
