A Time Capsule with Endless Potential
If homes could tell stories, this one would have a few classics...
Step back to a time when homes were built to last, kids played in the backyard until sunset, and mustard yellow kitchens were all the rage. Set on a generous 773sqm green title, R30 block, this solid 1978-built spacious family home is ready for its next chapter. It may be a little rough around the edges, but underneath it all is a home with great bones, endless potential, and plenty of stories left to tell. If you're eager to move straight in, a fresh coat of paint, a good garden tidy-up, and a little elbow grease could go a long way in making it feel like home. For those with a longer-term vision, this is a property with exceptional upside - ready for someone with imagination, plenty of energy, and a passion for transforming a classic into something truly special. If you've got a good eye for design and don't mind rolling up your sleeves, the rewards could be extraordinary. And then there's the view. Step out onto the balcony and take in the elevated outlook - a feature that's ready to impress today and one you'll appreciate even more after you've breathed new life into this timeless family home.
Offered 'AS IS, this is one of those increasingly rare properties where the land is just as exciting as the home itself.
Whether you're dreaming of creating your forever family home, tackling an exciting renovation project, or exploring future development opportunities (subject to the relevant approvals), this property is the ultimate blank canvas. The expansive backyard offers room for everything on the wish list - with convenient side gate access, or simply a huge backyard where kids (or dogs) can burn off endless energy. The beauty of this home is that you have options - and lots of them. Move straight in and renovate at your own pace, modernising room by room while enjoying the space. Land bank and subdivide in the future to maximise value. Or, if you're thinking long term, demolish and build your dream home when the time is right. Developers and investors will also appreciate the R30 zoning, offering exciting future subdivision (STCA).
FEATURES YOU WILL LOVE
Step inside and you'll discover a home that's been lovingly preserved through the decades. The kitchen cabinetry is in near-new condition, the oven has barely broken a sweat, and it's all been so lightly used you might wonder if takeaway was the family favourite.
And yes, it's immaculate in some ways. Whether it brings back fond memories of your grandparents' shag piled carpet lounge room or inspires your next retro revival, you'll struggle to find one that's been this spotless. They simply don't make time capsules like this anymore. This isn't a home that's been neglected. It's a home that's been cherished.
Inside, the home unfolds across two spacious levels, offering multiple living areas and a wraparound north and east-facing balcony that captures elevated views towards Lake Gwelup. Enjoy seamless access to the balcony from the master bedroom, family room and formal dining area, creating the perfect space to soak up the morning sunshine, entertain guests, or unwind with the afternoon breeze. The remaining two bedrooms are generously proportioned, each complete with built-in robes.
Downstairs, you'll find a classic 70s-style pool room - a nostalgic nod to a bygone era that's brimming with potential. Whether you transform it into an activity room, teenagers' retreat, home office, gym, or even a fourth bedroom, the flexibility is entirely yours.
Adding to its versatility, the lower level also features a spacious laundry with a separate shower and toilet, making it ideal for guests, teenagers, or multi-generational living. From here, you'll enjoy convenient internal access to the double garage and the adjoining storeroom, providing ample space for storage, hobbies or a workshop.
The backyard is enormous - big enough for the cricket pitch your kids always wanted, a swimming pool, a granny flat, or perhaps all three if you're feeling ambitious.
