205 Wilura Rd Mundaring WA 6073 $1,350,000 A circa 1930’s home of enduring character, its local granite and weatherboard construction, broad porch and tapered pillars speaking to an era when craftsmanship and proportion mattered above all else. Here, beneath the canopy of established trees, the romance of early twentieth-century design meets the comfort of contemporary living. 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms Craftsman stone & wood High ceilings jarrah floors Stunning granite fireplace Wide sociable verandahs Master w dressing room Lush established gardens Powered workshop sheds 3784 sqm dual access crn Superb character home “Seven Springs”, as it was formally known, has an approach that tells its own story. A circular drive curves past a sentinel evergreen, drawing you towards the carport, then onwards to the generous steps that rise to a porch wide enough for chairs, for conversation, for watching storms roll in across the Hills. Leadlight entry doors open to reveal volume and light, a formal hall that sets the tone for what follows. Jarrah floors run the length of the home, their rich tones warming rooms where large windows frame garden views and decorative plasterwork traces patterns across lofty ceilings. The details of this home are exceptional, from the doorplates and hardware to the architraves, from the ceiling roses to the triple casement windows. The formal living and dining room commands attention. Not simply because of its proportions, though these are generous, but because of the great granite fireplace that anchors the space. Its arched firebox houses a slow combustion fire, the kind that becomes the gathering point on winter evenings. A door opens to the north-facing verandah, blurring the boundary between inside and out, extending the living area to overlook lawn and lush borders. From formal rooms, the home flows into more relaxed spaces. The kitchen has been thoughtfully renewed with granite benchtops and clean-lined cabinetry, gas and electric cooking options, appliances integrated rather than intrusive. Adjacent, the sunroom fills with morning light, wrapping around to meet that same northern verandah. Here, breakfast becomes an occasion, lunch a lingering affair. A separate gabled outdoor room, screened and private, means entertaining need never be constrained by season or hour. The principal bedroom suite occupies the front wing, a private retreat comprising sleeping quarters, dressing space and an open ensuite with separate WC. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom, one of these rooms cleverly converted from an original outbuilding that now opens to the screened outdoor room, a flexible space that might serve teenagers, guests or creative pursuits equally well. The block’s corner position proves its worth beyond the garden gates. Gated access from Wilura Road leads directly to a powered workshop and lean-to, keeping projects and equipment separate from daily life yet immediately accessible. A woodshed, garden shed and tool shed complete the picture, providing storage that serious gardeners and makers require. This is a home that rewards those who value substance, who understand that true quality lies in materials and making rather than fashion and finish. The granite walls will stand another century. The gardens will deepen further. The trees will grow taller still. And within these sheltering spaces, life will unfold, anchored by stone and timber, enriched by light and leaf, held within a framework that honours both past and present.
