Overview
Set on an expansive 5.2-acre block in the tranquil suburb of Hovea, this 1990-built brick and iron residence offers a unique fusion of architecture and natural beauty. The home’s material palette seamlessly mirrors the surrounding jarrah trunks and grass trees, allowing it to harmonise effortlessly with the bushland environment and provide a peaceful sanctuary away from suburban congestion.
A winding private driveway enhances seclusion and anticipates the lifestyle of quiet mornings enveloped in mist and evenings warmed by a slow combustion fireplace. The house layout is thoughtfully designed to balance communal living with private zones, making it ideal for families who need both connectedness and personal space.
- Four bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate diverse household needs.
- Central open-plan kitchen and meals area equipped with timber cabinetry, gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, and a large walk-in pantry with additional fridge space enhance day-to-day convenience.
- A dedicated library and home office offer calm spaces overlooking the nearby John Forrest National Park.
- The principal suite is a luxurious retreat with direct access to the north verandah, a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite featuring a separate WC, bathtub, and shower, connecting the indoors with the surrounding bush through large windows and French doors.
- Additional bedrooms are purposefully positioned to form a junior wing, sharing a family bathroom and complemented by a powder room off the laundry, designed for efficient daily routines.
- Outdoor living is a highlight, with an expansive north-facing deck that extends over the bushland, perfect for entertaining or relaxing while absorbing the natural setting.
- A powered Colorbond workshop at the rear offers versatile space with plumbing and a concrete floor, suitable for hobbies or storage.
Recent subtle updates enhance the home’s warmth and style, including new herringbone flooring, a neutral palette, and tasteful fixtures that pay respect to the original design. Proximity to Hovea Falls and national parks makes this property a rare opportunity for those seeking a bushland lifestyle with easy access to schools, shops, and sporting facilities.
This property will appeal to families and nature enthusiasts looking for a spacious, well-considered home that embraces the landscape rather than competing with it, providing room to grow and enjoy outdoor activities in a serene setting close to the city.
