The year 1977 was a busy time in Forrestfield, with hundreds of 3-bedroom 1-bathroom homes popping up all around the suburb.
However, there weren't many like this one!
Number 18 Coolabah was built bigger and better than the standard at the time. You will enjoy details like higher ceilings, a bigger kitchen, walk in robe for the super spacious master bedroom, multiple entertaining areas, shopper's door access from a built-in garage (since been converted into 2 separate utility rooms) and just generally a whole bunch of cool stuff that just wasn't standard for the time, making this house ahead of its time!
The corner block is located right at the foot of the hills, so not far from here you can enjoy a series of sensational bushwalking trails including the Lesmurdie Falls, and the secret and exciting Whistelpipe Gully (see if you can find the old ruins of an amazing forest home from days gone by).
This is also one of the few streets in Forrestfield that weren't changed to a higher zoning density, so you won't have any near-term concerns about townhouses being built up around you.
If you've seen a few houses for sale in this area, you will soon agree that this one is definitely a cut above the rest. You can enjoy it as it is, or renovate to create something truly amazing. The choice is yours, but you'll need to hurry to secure this one.

Forrestfield is a suburb of the City of kalamunda and is 15 kilometres of the south-east of Perth. Local folklore suggests that the name comes from Charles Hale who settled here in 1902 and planted a crop amongst the trees. A neighbour referred to him wanting a forest and a field at the same time and the name was later applied to the area. A Forrest Field Progress Association was formed as early as 1927 and the name is shown on plans as Forrestfield for 1944.
Forrestfield is home to the Hartfield Park Recreation Centre which includes an indoor stadium for various sports, an 18-hole golf course, equestrian centre, nature park and lake. The main shopping centre known as the 'Forrestfield Forum and Marketplace' is home to 52 stores. There are a range of other retail establishments scattered throughout the area.
There are also a range of primary and secondary schools in the area and construction is currently underway on the Forrestfield-Airport Link which is scheduled to open in 2021 and will connect Perth Airport with the city. A Forrestfield train station is included in this development.
