Mt Richon is a hidden gem for most people (unless you're a local - you already know how fabulous it is!). Set on the Darling Range it offers county-style living with big blocks and plenty of bushland, yet is still close to all the conveniences in the centre of Armadale and major transport routes. This lovely home is set on the hillside on 1012sqm, looks to the west and has incredible views to the city. The owners have added a number of features that allow you to enjoy the sights from a range of vantage points. From the front, stairs lead up to a veranda and then on to a new viewing deck where you can enjoy a coffee in the morning and look over Errol Green Park opposite and maybe spot a kangaroo or two. Or a indulge in a wine or beer in the evening as you watch the sun set. And don't let the stairs put you off, if you find them challenging you can drive right up to the rear alfresco area and enter the house from there. The alfresco area is a huge space and perfect for entertaining, with a Bali-inspired bar and plenty of room for a barbecue tables, chairs and a bit of dancing. It's partly enclosed and fully covered, so it also a great place for kids to play on wet days. Inside, there is an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. There's a gas point for heating, but we love the wood-fired heater. On a chilly rainy day (and we've had a few of those lately) there's nothing better than having a roaring fire going and watching the rain through the large bay window. The kitchen has a country feel, and is well equipped with under bench and overhead cabinetry, a pantry, stainless-steel appliances, fridge recess and a coffee/appliance nook. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are in their own wing. The bedrooms are all front facing, so enjoy views, and the owners have added roller shutters to protect the rooms from the western sun in summer. The master has a walk-in robe and ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiling, shower, vanity unit and toilet. The other two bedrooms have built-in robes and are near the main bathroom with floor-to-ceiling, bath, shower and vanity unit. The home's second toilet is set off the laundry.
Back outside, you have a huge backyard to explore. The gardens are tiered, with limestone retaining walls and include lawn, garden beds and mature trees. Right at the back of the block is a gazebo - another spot to take in the amazing views. The backyard a safe space for pets and children to roam. While the driveway does go up to the rear of the house, electronic gates can close this space off. At the front of the home are two garages, with remote-controlled entry, a storeroom and plenty of room for extra parking. It's a fabulous home where a family can enjoy an wonderful lifestyle as the kids grow up, but it's also a great option for a someone simply looking to relax among the beauty of nature, gather with friends, and potter in the gardens. And if you're thinking ahead, we will note that the property next door has been subdivided to include two homes, so that may be an option for the future.
