A creatively designed standout home in Hackett is expected to sell for more than $1.1 million when it goes under the hammer next month.

The home at 4 Selwyn Street attracted more than 50 groups of people though in the first week of the marketing campaign and plenty of interest is expected come auction day.

The five-bedroom home features a central atrium that presents a tropical garden scene, in among living space and bedrooms.

The flowing design and eclectic mix of wallpaper, including designs by Ralph Lauren, Osbourne and Little and Cole and Son impress, as does the feature mosaic tiling, polished hardwood floors and custom light fittings.

The home also has a heated indoor pool and gym, and a lofted rumpus room with a balcony.

The residence has been the home of optometrist Ross Hiew and public servant Zoe Leonard, and their children since 2008.

The couple bought the house because of its great potential and its central location, being at the foothills of Mount Majura Nature Reserve.

They have loved living in the house but have decided to sell up to move closer to the children's schools.

Leonard says she will miss watching the gardens change through the different seasons, while Hiew has enjoyed the gym, being close to the reserve and having a good track for running with the dogs.
