Are you dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle away from the everyday hustle? This could be your golden opportunity and you won't even have to forego the conveniences a city hub provides. Perched high on the ridge in Mount Richon, this amazing urban homestead offers 180-degree views across the Perth flats and has the space for a hobby farm if you so desire. Yet all of this is so close to town! From the top of the driveway, you will catch glimpses of the city of Perth. This is just the first of many great vantage points to discover as you explore this property. A granite pathway leads through the established front gardens to the full-length front porch, making for a private and appealing entry. Built in 1976, the house is in original condition, so you can choose to either refurbish to your own taste or enjoy it as it is. It offers a simple and functional layout, with the formal lounge and adjoining dining area to the right of the entry and the bedrooms to the left. A bricked archway leads from the dining room through to the practical kitchen with gas cooktop, oven and double sink. The captivating views from the window here will keep you happy, even if you usually hate washing dishes! The carpeted master bedroom feels cosy but has plenty of space for a king-sized bed and offers a generous triple-door robe. The second bedroom is also carpeted with a built-in robe and would be perfect as a children's room. Currently used as an office, the third bedroom could easily accommodate a queen-sized bed and features timber-look flooring. The original bathroom offers a shower/bathtub combination. The toilet is separate, adjacent to the laundry. Where this property will really inspire you is its outdoor living areas. The back terrace is huge! 90 square metres of beautiful Italian travertine make this the place you won't want to leave. Just add an outdoor lounge, a BBQ and a fire-pit, then sit under the loquat tree and enjoy the vista. The yard continues down through several levels, offering first a swimming pool, then a huge variety of fruit trees, vegetable gardens and coops for chickens. Also in the spirit of self-reliance, this home offers 20 solar panels, both on the eastern and the western roof elevations to maximise efficiency. The solar hot water system is eco-friendly and will be great for your wallet too. At almost a quarter of an acre, there is no limit to what you could do with this property, especially if you long for a simple and natural lifestyle.
