33 Tillbrook Street Glen Forrest, WA, 6071

A rare Glen Forrest block made for family life - with the school across the road and a backyard waiting to become something wonderful.

Some properties are just houses. This one feels like the start of a childhood.
Set on a generous 3,868 square metre block on Tillbrook Street, this original 1955 two bedroom, one bathroom cottage sits in one of the Perth Hills' most family friendly pockets - right next to Glen Forrest Primary School. Mornings become a short walk, not a scramble. Afternoons can spill straight from the classroom into the garden. Weekends belong to the Heritage Trail, the village, and the kind of outdoor space kids actually use.

The home itself is modest and full of possibility. With thoughtful, strategic renovation it has the bones to become a beautiful family home: extra bedrooms as you need them, a kitchen that gathers everyone at the end of the day, living spaces that open to the land, and a layout that grows with you rather than boxing you in. Keep the Hills character. Add the comfort and flow a modern family needs. Do it in stages if you like - live in it first, then shape it into the home you've been picturing.

Then there's the backyard.

Almost an acre gives you room for more than a rectangle of lawn. Think winding paths through native planting, a hidden cubby or treehouse, fruit trees and veggie beds the kids can pick from, a fire pit for winter evenings, a hammock between the trees, fairy lights, a chook run, a messy-play corner, and still space left over for a trampoline, a workshop, or that future studio. This is the kind of garden that can feel a little whimsical - part secret, part playground, part sanctuary - without losing the bush character that makes Glen Forrest special.

You are walking distance to the village, close to the Railway Reserve Heritage Trail and John Forrest National Park and still an easy run to Midland and the city. It is the Hills lifestyle people move here for: quieter streets, bigger skies, a community that knows the school and land enough for a family to breathe.
Properties this close to the primary school, on a block this size, do not come along often. If you have been looking for a place to raise children - and a canvas for the family home and backyard you've imagined - this is one to walk through with that future in mind.
