The moment you enter the property down the driveway you will be wowed by the interesting and individual design of this home with the views it commands over the scarp. Parking is sorted with the under croft parking, room for two cars, which doubles as a powered workshop.

As you enter the home via the northern verandah you will instantly know that you have come across a bespoke, handcrafted home. With many features reclaimed, the lovely front doors have been sourced from a historical Perth building. The reclaimed features continue in the open plan kitchen, living and meals area with a lovely stained glass window from New Zealand and recycled jarrah pelmets. The commercial grade doors and windows which make up the western and northern walls of the home with their glorious views allow in an abundance of natural light. Handcrafted features abound. The bespoke wooden kitchen with fabulous, jarrah and stainless steel bench tops and hand carved door handles provides the chef of the home a lovely place to cook family favourite meals. Near the kitchen you will find a spiral staircase, complete with artisan balustrade and rimu stair treads, leading to the loft space with a reclaimed karri floor; a space for hobbies, a wonderful creative space for an artist, an exercise area for yoga or simply a space to be.

Down the hallway you will find two identical bedrooms with fans and corner windows and doors which allow for cross-flow ventilation and all those wonderful views of the natural environment to wake up to. To the left of the hallway you will find a large laundry/storeroom and the family bathroom. The smaller remaining bedroom is at the back of the home. The home has been painted throughout with top quality Resene paint.

Large concrete verandahs facing north and west are wonderful, elevated spaces to ponder, enjoy a cuppa and entertain all your family and friends whilst soaking in those views. The summer sun is taken care of with canvas blinds over the western verandah and shade cloth blinds over the northern verandah. The home is well ventilated to enjoy a breeze from any direction and comfort is taken care of year round with a slow combustion heater, a split system reverse-cycle air-conditioner in the living area, heavy, block-out curtains and insulation.

Not only is the home special, so is the land. This is a Land for Wildlife property (https://www.facebook.com/LandForWildlife/). The current owners maintain the land meticulously and have many photos of the amazing flora found on the property. Presently, the beautiful and delicate flowering Hakea smells like honey. An array of fauna can also be found on the property, including families of kangaroos and many different bird species. Two vegetable wicking beds are ready for you to grow your own veges. A special treat in the garden after a day pottering about is an outdoor shower complete with a funky solar hot water system. The outdoors also features a water tank for the fire suppression system found on the residence, and a dedicated rainwater tank connected to the kitchen. The property is connected to scheme water.

This property is a must see for all those looking for a new home in a beautiful natural environment with all the conveniences of the city on your doorstep. A fabulous place for children to roam, build cubbies, climb trees and make childhood memories. It is an easy commute to the airport and city. Shops, schools, medical services, cafes, pubs and all the wonderful walking and bike riding trails are close by. Now is the time to move to nature, breathe, relax and enjoy your little piece of Western Australia.
