40 Recreation Road,
Kalamunda 6076, Western Australia

Welcome to 40 Recreation Road, Kalamunda - a truly remarkable piece of hills history, originally constructed circa 1907 and representing one of the earliest homes built in the area. Positioned proudly on an expansive 2,009 sqm parcel, this stunning weatherboard and iron residence beautifully combines timeless character with thoughtful modern enhancements, delivering a lifestyle property of exceptional warmth, elegance and historical significance.

From the moment you arrive, the home's wide wraparound verandas and commanding presence transport you to another era. The property is fully fenced and secured behind a beautiful feature wrought iron-style gate, creating both privacy and an impressive street presence.

Stepping inside, you are immediately captivated by the gracious proportions, soaring high ceilings, decorative cornices and the rich warmth of polished jarrah floorboards flowing throughout the residence.

The home offers an abundance of versatile living spaces, thoughtfully designed to accommodate modern family living while preserving the charm and soul of the original residence. Expansive lounge and living areas flow effortlessly through informal dining spaces, library nooks, studies and multi-purpose rooms filled with natural light - creating endless possibilities for reading rooms, studios, home offices or quiet retreats.

The beautifully updated galley-style kitchen is both spacious and functional, enjoying picturesque views over the established rear gardens. The adjoining laundry has been renovated in the same tasteful style, complementing the home's crisp white interiors and elegant presentation throughout. Adding warmth and ambience is a charming double-sided mains gas fireplace servicing the informal living and dining zones, with the home also benefiting from ducted evaporative air conditioning for year-round comfort.

A substantial rear extension further enhances the home, providing a substantial games/family room ideal for entertaining or relaxed day-to-day living. This area is serviced by a separate powder room and seamlessly connects to the impressive master suite - a luxurious retreat featuring high ceilings, built-in robes and a beautifully appointed ensuite complete with claw foot bath and quality finishes.

Additional accommodation includes three further bedrooms and a separate family bathroom, all presented with the same timeless appeal. While well maintained throughout, the home also offers the exciting opportunity for a new owner to capitalise in works done and add their own finishing touches to further enhance this already exceptional residence.

Outside, the property continues to impress with established gardens, sprawling grounds and delightful resort style in ground concrete pool plus the addition of a fully insulated powered studio - ideal as an artist's retreat, home office, workshop or creative space.

Importantly, the property also benefits from highly desirable R20 zoning, creating exciting future potential for redevelopment or subdivision (subject to relevant approvals). On a parcel of this size and in such a sought-after location close to the Kalamunda town centre, there is potential for up to four lots, or alternatively the opportunity to retain the existing historic residence while subdividing around it.
