Step into the pages of a storybook where natural light dances across the blackbutt timber floor of open-plan living spaces, a spiral staircase ascends to a tree-top retreat and French doors connect seamlessly to the verdant gardens beyond. A timber exterior and soaring gabled roof suggest an enchanted forest cabin, while exposed beams, a slow combustion fire and bright, neutral finishes deliver interiors with timeless style.

With its stone benchtops wrapping one corner of the ground-floor layout, the kitchen speaks the language of modern functionality. A dishwasher, 4-burner hob, electric oven, and under-bench storage deliver a practical workspace where passionate cooks and entertainers will shine.

Adjoining the living zone is a carpeted junior bedroom with built-in robes. This bright, modern room is an idyllic bower for little chicks and cherished guests.

Completing the layout on the ground floor is a walk-through laundry and a fully tiled family bathroom with a rainfall shower and modern vanity. Reverse-cycle air conditioning supplements the split system air conditioning and ensures year-round comfort.

A central spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where a versatile retreat space, currently styled as a bedroom, opens onto a private balcony – an ideal setting for stargazing or morning coffee among the treetops. This flexible upper floor can serve as a primary bedroom, studio, or additional living area, adapting effortlessly to changing needs. At the rear of the upstairs plan is a large principal bedroom with a picture window onto the tree canopy.

Outdoor living is celebrated with a sheltered alfresco area perfect for year-round entertaining. Meanwhile, meandering paths lead through gardens, revealing quiet nooks and open lawns, a choice of spaces for contemplation and recharging, and an ever-changing inspiration for creative play and exploration.

The reticulated gardens have been thoughtfully cultivated and lovingly tended to create a lush wonderland. A productive garden includes raised vegetable beds, established fruit trees and a chicken coop. The two-storey powered workshop with loft space echoes the home’s architectural character while providing extra work and storage space.

This unique property represents the essence of Perth Hills living – where whimsy meets comfort, and the boundary between inside and out dissolves. It's a rare offering that combines the romance of elevated living with the convenience of contemporary design, creating a sanctuary that feels grounded and uplifting.

For those seeking an escape from the ordinary without sacrificing modern amenities, this enchanting home offers a sophisticated take on treehouse living, just moments from the region's celebrated walking trails, local schools and the friendly township of Mount Helena.
