What we love:The private wonderland that is the backyard with seemingly endless spaces to relax, entertain and reflect. Elevated jarrah deck, travertine-surround sunken pool and lush landscaping overlook an expansive reserve. A private gate affords direct access, and the Swan River is a stroll away. Wave to those across the banks at Caversham House as you enjoy your sumptuous surrounds.As to where indoors ends and outdoors begins, lines are blurred thanks to an all-weather sunroom with kitchenette. The space can be completely enclosed or opened, weather dependent. Naturally, the sunroom boasts stunning views of the picture-perfect backyard, and adjoining reserve with abundant native trees. You may soon salute the rising and setting of the sun if you don't already. Cocktails are optional.When work beckons, a large library with jarrah floorboards and French doors leading to a private courtyard is an ideal space to regain focus, albeit momentarily.Boasting off-the-beaten track feels despite proximity to some of Perth's finest vineyards and restaurants, this elegant home is brimming with too many features to mention in limited space.Country-style living in the heart of east metropolitan Perth.
