163 Edmund Street, Beaconsfield WA 6162

A Character Classic on an Extraordinary Block

Believed to date back to before the turn of the century, the original brick and limestone residence is rich in character, with soaring ceilings, beautiful jarrah floorboards, substantial limestone walls and generously proportioned bedrooms.

The home offers a versatile floorplan that can accommodate either four bedrooms or three bedrooms plus a separate lounge, alongside a central kitchen and meals area. Modern comforts include solar power, solar hot water, a quality Smeg gas cooktop and electric oven, ceiling fans and a brand-new reverse-cycle air conditioner.

There's also convenient vehicle access via a side right of way, leading to the rear of the property where a carport and an additional open parking bay provide practical off-street parking.

For families, there's immediate appeal here. Move straight in and enjoy the home as it is, take your time to make it your own, or explore the opportunity to extend and create a truly special long-term family residence that grows with you.

It's the sheer scale of this block that sets it apart. With 1,126sqm at your disposal, there's room to create the kind of backyard families dream about: sprawling lawns, established gardens, space for the kids to play, a cricket pitch, a veggie patch, chickens and even your own orchard.

Better still, the established gardens already feature an impressive collection of fruit trees and edible delights, including magnificent grapevines, fig, mandarin, custard apple, olive, loquat, almond, mulberry and cherry guava trees, alongside bay leaf and more.

Imagine long summer afternoons outdoors, children growing up with room to roam and the possibility of a future second-storey addition capturing potential ocean views. It's a rare opportunity to secure a substantial family holding in a location where land of this size is becoming increasingly scarce.

For buyers looking beyond the family home, the property presents an equally compelling alternative. Zoned R25, the site has no heritage listing applying to the house and council approval to demolish the existing buildings is already in place.

A proposed site survey and sketch plan outlining a potential three-lot survey-strata subdivision are available, providing a valuable starting point for those wishing to explore the site's future development possibilities.

Whether you're considering a substantial renovation and extension, investigating a future subdivision or exploring the potential for new homes with possible ocean views, this is a landholding with options rarely found in such a sought-after location. Any future development remains subject to the relevant approvals and requirements.

Walk to local primary schools, nearby parks and public transport, with the beaches, cafés and restaurants of South Fremantle and Fremantle just a short drive away. It's a location that brings together established neighbourhood charm, everyday convenience and the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes this pocket of Beaconsfield so desirable.

Opportunities to secure a character home on a landholding of this scale are increasingly rare. Big enough for the whole family. Special enough to hold onto!
