Bordering the beautiful Susannah Brook on its western boundary and nestled approximately 400 metres away from our picturesque Swan River, this solid, well-built and very comfortable 4 bedroom 2 bathroom family home is stunningly set on a sprawling 7.5 acres of alluvial high-quality red loam soil and has all of the ingredients to be self-sufficient.
The property is desirably set amongst award-winning wineries and restaurants in a sought-after, yet tightly-held, pocket of Perth’s famous Swan Valley region. It also currently offers a prolific fresh fruit supply, from established mandarin and oranges, to tangelo, lemon, loquat and olive trees. Just in case you needed some proof of what’s in store.
The existing house has very much stood the test of time and affords you approximately 200sqm of living space (294sqm under the main roof), as well as a large separate lounge room and an open-plan family, dining and kitchen area. The latter is large in size and has ample cupboard storage, as well as walk-in pantry. It also plays host to a classic Metters “No. 1” wood stove that is wonderful in winter, providing extra heating and cooking for those lovely soups – not to mention the baking.
All four bedrooms are positioned on the east side of the house and have been designed for our summers, including a commodious master suite and double-sized minor bedrooms. The laundry is large in size and is separate from the secondary bathroom.
Brilliant in its versatility is a 13sqm (approx.) brick-and-tile storeroom – or hobby room – that can be whatever you want it to be. At the rear, an extensive paved area and pergola encourages outdoor entertaining for multiple generations.
The property also has a 200-foot bore with a three-phase submersible pump and boasts a “tradesman’s dream” of an 18m x 12m (approx.) high-trussed workshop shed – also featuring three-phase power. It is also fully fenced around the home, making it enjoyable for children – and even pets – to play, without the adults having to worry about a thing.
Only a seven-minute drive separates your front doorstep from the heart of the Midland CBD, with Swan Christian College only five kilometres away and all major arterial routes so easily accessible. Well-established long-standing sporting clubs are within a radius of only a kilometre, whilst your morning coffee fix can be found within a short walking distance.
The neighbours in the street are lovely too, making this a wonderful place to live. Look no further – your new escape to serenity lies right here!
