Harmony at the 'Hills Opera House'
**Note: we would love to show you this beautiful home, please contact us to book an inspection.
Like a love letter to the Perth Hills, this home is a one of a kind architectural showstopper rising out of Bickley's rolling valleys like a functional, liveable work of art. Known as the 'Hills Opera House', this showcase was designed and built in the early 1990s by Lin Matthews. Here, nearly 18 acres of whispering bushland buffer you from the world; mornings begin with light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows as the mist hangs low in the valley, evenings stretch out on the timber deck. Life here is singularly stunning. Inside, a masterclass in texture, space, and story with the use of stone, timber, and recycled materials keeping things earthy and authentic - a reminder luxury doesn't have to be clinical or cold.
Enter the castle-style front door and walk down wooden stairs from recycled jetty into the high vaulted living area where beams hold court overhead. A dramatic stone fireplace sits ready to host crackling Wintery evening get-togethers plus a slow combustion wood heater and split system air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable no matter the season. The kitchen is both striking and fabulously functional; warm, gloriously spacious, fitted with modern appliances, and crowned with those feature Jarrah benchtops. And when it's time to retreat, the sleeping quarters deliver everything you'd expect from a home of this calibre. The huge main suite feels more like a boutique get away than a bedroom and comes complete with a brand new ensuite and sweeping views you'll never get bored of waking up to. There's a generous second bedroom, 2 additional bathrooms, plus games room that could easily be transformed into a third bedroom.
