173A Carrington Street, White Gum Valley WA 6162

Tucked privately away from the street, 173A Carrington Street presents something increasingly difficult to find: 360sqm of your own land, an established home to enjoy or lease today, and genuine scope to explore what it could become tomorrow.

For buyers looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle without giving up the independence and possibilities that come with owning land, this is a particularly compelling proposition. Here you have established gardens, generous outdoor space, parking for three cars and, importantly, the ability to consider how the property might evolve with you over time.

Renovate. Reconfigure. Extend. Or look up.

Subject to the relevant council, planning and building approvals, there is exciting scope to investigate extending the existing residence or adding a second storey. With the home already enjoying an unexpected outlook towards Rottnest Island from the kitchen and glimpses towards Garden Island from the garden, the potential views from an elevated second level could be exceptional.

For the smart and savvy buyer who can see beyond what is here today, that future potential is a significant part of the appeal.

Set slightly below street level and well back from Carrington Street, the home itself has a wonderfully relaxed and surprisingly peaceful feel. Once you make your way down the driveway, street noise falls away and established trees, limestone walls and mature gardens create a private little pocket that feels distinctly Freo.

Inside, the home is light, fresh and easy to live in. The open-plan living and dining area is finished in a simple neutral palette with timber-look flooring and split-system air-conditioning. Alongside is a contemporary white kitchen with stone benchtops, gas cooking, dishwasher and excellent cabinetry — plus that unexpected outlook extending all the way towards Rottnest Island through the kitchen window.

The main bedroom is complemented by a versatile second room. Rather than being locked into one use, the space offers flexibility for the next owner to configure it to suit their lifestyle — whether as additional sleeping accommodation, a home office, nursery, craft space or as part of a future reconfiguration of the home.

The particularly generous bathroom incorporates the laundry and a separate shower, while outside is where the benefits of having your own land really begin to show.

Established trees provide shade and greenery, with brick pathways winding through the garden beds to a covered entertaining area framed by character limestone walls. There is room to entertain friends, garden, potter, create, extend or simply enjoy the privacy of your own patch of green.

Beyond, an extensive brick-paved area provides exceptional off-street parking for three cars, potentially more, adding another level of practicality and flexibility that can be difficult to find in more compact, low-maintenance properties.

And then there is the location.

Everyday life could hardly be easier, with Coles, Gilbert’s Fresh, Hilton Pizza, the laundromat, bottle shop and post office all around a two-minute walk from home. White Gum Valley is loved for its leafy streets and strong community feel, while central Fremantle, South Fremantle’s cafés and restaurants and the beaches beyond are all within easy reach.

Why compromise on future flexibility when you can have your own piece of White Gum Valley?

Live in it. Lease it. Improve it. Reconfigure it. Or investigate taking advantage of the site’s elevation and building upwards. (STCA)

A rare little piece of White Gum Valley — private, practical and full of possibility.
