BACKYARD BLISS

A Hills Half Acre in Mahogany Creek, three bedrooms, and a house that hasn’t been touched in a long while – for the right buyer, the possibilities are huge. Mahogany Creek is something of a hidden gem in the Perth Hills, with Mundaring Village just a short drive up the road for schools, sport, shops and services. solid brick-and-tile bones, a genuinely useful floor plan, and an enclosed games room – a house with room to move and room to improve. Bring your tools, bring your ideas, and get in before someone else spots the potential.

The wrought iron gates and double carport set the tone before you’ve reached the door – solid, a little old-school, built to last. Inside, the entry splits the house neatly in two. To one side, a formal lounge with carpet and air conditioning, canvas awnings on the east-facing windows. To the other, an open-plan kitchen and meals area, where the kitchen is still doing what it was built to do, electric oven, grill and cooktop, with a splashback in Scandi tiles that were clearly chosen by someone with taste.

The meals area leads through to a separate study – ideal if you’re working from home or a fabulous TV or playroom within sight and hearing of the kitchen – and from there into a games room, fashioned by enclosing a portion of the porch. It’s an unexpected bit of extra living space, the sort of room that ends up hosting board games, a pool table, or a teenager who wants somewhere of their own.

The bedroom wing runs off a central hall. A walk-through laundry leads to a separate WC before you reach the family bathroom, which still has its original blue floor tiles, along with a shower, tub, and vanity. Two junior bedrooms are carpeted, one with a built-in robe, and the main bedroom is a good size, carpeted, with a ceiling fan overhead for the warmer months.

Step outside, and the patio runs the length of the southern side of the house – a good spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink, depending on your habits. A gate leads to a garden shed, a woodshed, and an old chicken coop, all part of a half-acre block that offers real scope – for a veggie garden, a workshop, extra parking, or eventually something more ambitious. This is a property with room to grow into, not just move into.

This is a family home built for exactly the life a growing household needs – four solid bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, a below-ground pool, a powered workshop and a block just over 2000 square metres with room to spread out. The layout works, the updates are done where they count, and there’s still genuine scope left for a family with a tradie’s eye to add their own stamp, over time. The kitchen, the living zones, the outdoor entertaining – all of it is ready to use from day one, with plenty of runway for whoever wants to take it further.

The kitchen sits at the centre of things, with a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and a full-height pantry that keeps the benches clear. A wide casement opening connects it to the open-plan meals and family room, so whoever’s cooking is never cut off from what’s happening at the table or in front of the TV. That family room is anchored by a slow combustion fire for the cold Perth Hills evenings, with a split system doing the work the rest of the year. Step through to the lounge and the mood shifts – a decorative brick fireplace as the focal point, parquet flooring running underfoot here and through the family room, giving both rooms a warmth that tile or carpet just doesn’t have.

The principal suite sits off the family room, generously sized, with built-in robes and a fully tiled ensuite that’s already been renovated. Three more bedrooms sit towards the front of the plan, each a good size with its own storage, well suited to kids of any age. They share a family bathroom finished with large white tiles running full-height up the walls – already renovated, so there’s nothing left to update before the family moves in.

The outdoor space adds another layer entirely. A sliding door off the meals area opens onto an L-shaped alfresco that wraps one corner of the house, brick-paved and sheltered, the kind of spot that gets used for breakfast as often as it does for a Saturday barbecue. From there it’s a short walk to the below-ground pool, then on to a powered workshop with three-phase power, a lean-to and a high-clearance shelter that’ll fit whatever machine, boat or caravan needs housing. Citrus and avocado trees are already established in the garden, there’s a chicken coop waiting for its next residents and two raised garden beds are sitting empty and ready for the next planting.

Grenville Road runs east to west, tracking alongside the Heritage Trail, well used by locals walking or riding most days. When a proper coffee is the priority instead, White’s Mill and Grind is an easy walk away. State and private schools are close enough that drop-off and pick-up don’t eat the whole morning, Mundaring’s shops and services are minutes down the road, and Midland – with its train line into the city – is a short run along Great Eastern Highway. This home and location make life easy and ask little in return.
