18 Milne Street, Bicton WA 6157

Classic Mid-Century Design, Riverside Living

Set in one of Bicton's most tightly held riverside pockets, this wonderfully spacious mid-century home delivers the kind of combination that is becoming increasingly hard to find - a substantial 1,055sqm block, generous family accommodation, original character and an enviable riverside lifestyle.

Built in the 1950s with an oversized floorplan and thoughtfully extended in 2002, the home retains the charm and proportions of its era, with beautiful jarrah floors, high ceilings, timber-framed windows and a feature gas fireplace.

A leafy front garden welcomes you to the home, with a magnificent bottlebrush tree taking centre stage. French doors open from the inviting front living room to the charming porch, creating a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the morning sunshine. Inside, the kitchen, living and dining areas are light-filled and airy, with the kitchen and dining flowing effortlessly to the north-facing rear garden and creating a wonderful connection between indoors and out.

Accommodation is exceptionally generous, with four large bedrooms and two bathrooms, while upstairs provides an additional living space that could easily become a home office, teenager's retreat, guest space or even a fifth bedroom.

Step outside and discover a huge backyard made for family life - plenty of space for kids to run, play and explore, with a sparkling saltwater pool at the heart of it all. The decked alfresco area is perfect for relaxed entertaining and summer afternoons by the pool, while established leafy trees create a wonderfully private, green backdrop.

For the keen gardener, there is plenty to love too, with raised vegetable beds, a potting shed, composting area plus an abundance of established fruit trees including orange, lemon, lime, mandarin and fig.

There is room for everything here, with an oversized double garage offering direct internal access, plus a second crossover with additional parking for a boat, trailer or caravan. Tradies, DIYers and hobbyists will love the abundance of workshop and storage options, with multiple sheds and generous work areas providing plenty of room for tools, equipment, bikes, boards, gardening gear and weekend projects. Whether you need a dedicated space to work, somewhere to tinker and create, or simply plenty of room to store everything that comes with family life, this is the kind of practicality that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Adding further appeal are the home's 10.5kW solar panels and 20kW battery storage.

And then there's the location…

The river glistens at the end of the street, with Point Walter parkland just across the way and an incredible network of walking and cycling trails nearby. Wander down to the river, ride to Bicton Baths, explore Quarantine Park or follow the native bushland and Blackwall Reach cliffs towards Point Walter.

This is riverside Bicton at its best - peaceful, leafy and surrounded by some of Perth's most beautiful natural spaces, while still being close to schools, cafés, shops, restaurants and everyday amenities.

With its R17.5 zoning and impressive 28.16m frontage, the 1,055sqm landholding also provides an exciting opportunity for the future. Move straight in and enjoy the home as it is, make your own updates over time and create something truly special down the track.

This is a home with space, character, flexibility and an extraordinary lifestyle - the kind of place where family memories are made.
