Overall, your answer is good, but there are a few mistakes:
1. It should be “I have been living there for the last 10 years” instead of “I have been living living there for the last 10 years.”
2. Instead of “I used to hustle of city life,” it should be “I used to be tired of city life” or “I used to struggle with city life.”
3. Instead of “countryside due to city’s noisy and busy life,” it would be better to say “countryside to escape the noisy and busy city life.”

So, the correct response would be “Yes, I have lived in this home for a long time.” Keep up the good work!
