148 Streich Avenue, Kelmscott WA 6111

Let me start out by saying this is an absolute career highlight. All my life I've driven past this property, and it has always been one of the best maintained homes in the area. Countless times seeing the owner out the front mowing and taking immense care of this lovely place. It remains one of the best in town, so perfectly well maintained.
Now, as the agent privileged with selling it, I've discovered it's been owned by the same family since 1969, and it hasn't missed a beat. Everything has been perfectly maintained, lovingly cared for, and stepping inside I can now see the care outside is the same throughout the home too.
This is an exceptional opportunity for anyone looking for real family living and a quality home set apart from anything else on the market right now. On a 928 square metre block, we have an exceptionally well-loved home that is absolutely spot on in every sense. The bore-reticulated gardens are beautifully established and, like everything here, set it apart from the ordinary and unimpressive competition.
It's pretty special when a home has been owned by the same people for 57 years. There's obviously a reason to stay. And whilst there were many reasons they stayed, now there are plenty of reasons to come.
Your opportunity to own an iconically attractive home that has been central to one family's history and can now be pivotal to your future. With a 928 square metre block and all kinds of space to enjoy, the property has everything going for it now and into the future.

LIVING HERE
The floor plan is available online, and you can see all the details of how the home is configured. Fairly normal for its day, however it has been extremely well maintained over the course of 57 years and updated in recent years to bring it to a modern, bright and very attractive style.
The home was significantly upgraded over the past decade, with a new kitchen, new bathroom, new floor coverings, and a full restoration that has brought it into the present.
The kitchen is the hub of family life, with a large meals area adjacent to it for gatherings that may happen less in 2026 than they did in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Either way, the space is versatile, and you have so many options for how you can best utilise it.
The kitchen also serves as a daily meals space, with the dining table positioned here. You get the sense that this is where everyone just comes together to be together.
There's modern versatility to this part of the home, with the large lounge room adjacent to the meals space, all flowing together beautifully to create one cohesive living environment.
The bedrooms are all of a good size, and the main bedroom features a built-in wardrobe. There are no carpets throughout the home, and the modern flooring has maximum appeal and really looks fantastic.
The bathroom has floor-to-ceiling tiles and looks amazing, with an awesome big shower, large vanity, and quality lighting fixtures. Even the laundry is impressive, with ample storage and workspace.
The plantation shutters installed throughout the home look absolutely fantastic and raise the bar for style, while creating beautiful control of natural light. The stainless steel security screens add practicality, allowing you to catch the breeze without worrying about flies or other unwelcome visitors.
So that's the home. Outside, it just keeps getting getter.

OUTSIDE
There are so many more reasons to love this home. A gigantic patio stretches across the back of the house, overlooking extraordinary lawns and beautifully established gardens that have been loved and nurtured for decades.
The tree at the front is one of the real highlights of the property-and the entire street. It's a gorgeous feature, creating lovely shade across the front of the home and adding enormously to the street appeal.
Out the back, the established fruit trees include apples, lemons, oranges, various stone fruit, and even a grapevine. It's all bore-reticulated, giving you the freedom to keep everything lush and green without worrying about the water bill.
It's so well established that your role is simply to come in, care for it, and enjoy the fruit.
The brick workshop is an absolute win. This is what a workshop should be-powered, with loads of room for parking and projects, positioned at the end of a concrete driveway running from the front of the home to the back.
And the look is made even better by the iconic Hills Hoist clothesline sitting proudly alongside.
The Future
Whilst it's exciting to look at everything this home has been, there is also enormous potential in what it could become.
You're looking at a 928 square metre block zoned R25/60. That provides a lot of options into the future.
Because it's so well located, close to shops, schools, and more, there are plenty of reasons why buying this home makes perfect sense today-and smart sense for the years ahead.
This is a very exciting opportunity, and to discuss what things might look like down the track, you can speak to the folks at the City of Armadale, who have guidelines as to what could happen with subdivision and so on.
By the way, if that's your thing, go for it-but make sure you save the fruit trees.
