Tucked discreetly at the rear of a small group, this charming villa offers a rare sense of privacy and seclusion, with established gardens creating a peaceful retreat from the pace of everyday life. Positioned on the riverside of Como in one of the most walkable and desirable pockets the suburb has to offer.
Light filled and welcoming, the home has been thoughtfully updated to combine comfort, functionality and an unmistakable connection to its leafy surrounds. Generous natural light filters throughout, while excellent insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature across the seasons, often reducing the need for heating or air conditioning.
The renovated kitchen is both practical and inviting, featuring warm timber benchtops, contemporary finishes and a beautiful outlook to the native garden. With local birdlife regularly visiting, even the simplest morning routine feels connected to nature. An integrated dishwasher adds everyday convenience, while the thoughtful design makes this a kitchen that is as enjoyable to spend time in as it is functional. The bathroom has also been stylishly renovated, offering a fresh, modern feel, excellent storage and a well considered layout. A skylight brings additional natural light into the space, enhancing its bright and airy atmosphere.
Offering two well proportioned bedrooms. The master with ample wardrobe space and a ceiling fan, whilst the second bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook over the private rear courtyard and established gardens. A separate laundry provides excellent everyday functionality, complementing the home's thoughtful layout and making day to day living effortless. Split system air conditioning to the living area and master bedroom provides additional comfort.
Outside, the private gated backyard is a true highlight. Framed by established gardens and quiet leafy surrounds, it is an inviting place to enjoy a morning coffee, entertain, or simply unwind at the end of the day. There is also space to cultivate your own vegetables, herbs or edible garden, adding another dimension to this wonderfully liveable outdoor setting. A dedicated carport and separate storage room add valuable practicality.

Como is an established suburb bound to the west by the Canning and Swan Rivers. Part of the City of South Perth's municipality, Como experienced its most significant development during the 1950s and 1960s, with gradual growth since the early 1990s as new dwellings were added to the area.
Parks and reserves are a dominant aspect of the Como landscape, such as one of Como's most notable features the international standard 27 hole Collier Park Golf Course. The Como Hotel is a popular bar, café and restaurant in the suburb and a recognisable fixture of Canning Highway. There are also some shops in the area to service local requirements, as well as four local schools, including Penrhos College.
