Last Listing description (January 2018)
A country lifestyle within suburban City limits - up there with the very best!
This is a special place; unique in its position, impressive in its quality and inspirational in its environment where, you will be inspired enough to celebrate as new owners with a glass or two of your favourite red wine from one of the many nearby wineries as the owners of your new home from this elevated position on the Darling Range Escarpment of the Lesmurdie hills. This modernised family home provides absolutely the most incredible expansive scenic views overlooking Perth City and surrounding suburbs and rolling hills.
Majestically nestled amongst native eucalyptus trees and wild flowers, mixed with introduced European flora and offering truly unsurpassed views, you will be tantalized by the magical twinkling of lights during the night and breathtaking sunsets from the peaceful, private and simply perfect location of this family home.
The free flowing family home offers the best of the popular architectural era of homes of the 1970's where there was a focus on good solid long term quality structural workmanship. Typically having soaring high ceilings of exposed beams in the formal and informal livings areas of the home. The home has since experienced substantial quality refinements by the current owners, one being an experienced and professional builder and the other ensuring such make-over refinements were tasteful and added a touch of elegance and class.
You will feel the special qualities of this family home from the double door entry with attractive spacious foyer & sun drenched atrium to the intimate lounge and formal dining areas. A luxurious kitchen that will tantalize the most discerning of those desiring to practice their culinary skills. The double size bedrooms offer plenty of scope for those children becoming teenagers.
The distinctive living and formal living and dining areas are very generous; providing plenty of entertaining and relaxing options. The expansive balconies at the rear of home overlook the large inviting pool and a cabana with outdoor setting and barbeque. The tennis court is just one of the many areas where panoramic views are available of the surrounding hills, City and suburbs.
The tennis court has an option for an additional dwelling where the seller has developed plans for construction of an attractive home or granny flat & carport with option for use as Airbnb to earn income $, for helping out the married kids, providing independence for elderly parents, or as an extension of the already substantial family home.
Opportunities abound! There is undercover parking for five cars and still plenty of room for that boat, caravan and other cars in uncovered parking areas.
There is simply so much on offer from this premium home in a premium location that words alone are unable to describe what is on offer. Only by visiting the property will you truly appreciate this unique opportunity to own something special - wake up every morning and be delighted by the sounds of birds in the foliage of surrounding trees and survey all with City views from your bedroom, kitchen, games room and even the laundry!
Arrive home every day and unwind on those balmy days with a dip in the pool or relax and entertain family and friends and indulge in the beautiful sunsets. Those active family members can truly get closer to the country environment by walking trails through the neighbouring hills where you, family and friends will be captivated by the cascading Lesmurdie water falls. Then making your way along bubbling brooks and streams amongst the abundant native flora and fauna or laze away some time and be enchanted while watching and immersing yourself in the tranquillity of Lesmurdie Falls.
You are not simply acquiring a family home, but a country lifestyle opportunity for the whole family; yet no more than 30 minutes' drive from the City.
You are invited to join me at this spectacular property and take a minute or two by watching so many additional inviting features of the home and surrounding locality unfolding within the modern theatre room.
