Your destiny awaits
**OFFERS NOW CLOSING 9:00AM MONDAY 14 OCTOBER**
What’s on the cards for you? This sweet character home, for a start.
While we can’t actually see into the future, we can predict this beauty will be transformed into a showstopper - just as soon as you get your hands on her. A mid-century charmer, she could be a 3x1 or 2x1 depending on your plans and lifestyle. And she comes complete with a brilliant 665sqm R30 block that already features established trees and gorgeous old grapevines. In the decades since her construction she’s been loved and cared for and it definitely shows in the tidy presentation. However, not all the original features within are ones you’ll want to keep. The ornate ceiling roses and decorative cornices, yes! The fireplace and the French doors? Most definitely. The laminate kitchen benchtops and lino flooring? Maybe not so much. Some style trends are best left in the past. Meanwhile the potential for a spectacular renovation is enormous. Refit the kitchen and bathroom, swap out the floor and window coverings, paint her white and you’re most of the way there. There’s also the sleepout which is fated to be a bedroom, study, or living space should you so choose. And the enclosed entertaining area out the back? Fantastic in concept, but it could use a little love. Or a sledgehammer. Bring your best ideas and a bucket of elbow grease and watch it transform into the best little party space in town! But first things first: snap up this property before someone else spots its potential.
Location-wise, you don’t need a crystal ball to see that nature-filled adventures are sure to be near-daily events here. With Gibbney Reserve and its playground a mere 300m from your door, De Lacy Reserve (500m), Lake Bungana (1km), and Berringa Park (1.2km) close by too, and the Baigup Wetlands (230m) lining the nearby Swan River banks, you’ll so enjoy the sights and sounds of these spaces that you’ll barely remember that the city is only 6km away. And there’s plenty more to appreciate between here and there, too. The golf course and yacht club, for example, if it’s highbrow activities you seek. Optus Stadium (4.8km) is your obvious destination for footy, gigs, and everything in between. And pick from Volare (2km), Lyric’s (1.9km), and hidden gem The Claisebrook Bar (5.1km) for a solid night out with friends and family. If caffeine and pastries call your name – because why wouldn’t they? – your choices are many and varied but Noggos (1.1km), Gaden Café (1.2k), Corner on Tenth (2.4km), and Sherbet Bake Shop (2km) are just a handful that will get you started on your quest to find your faves. So what else is there to discover? What comes next on your Maylands journey? That’s the best bit: you get to decide.

Maylands overview
Maylands is a riverside inner-city suburb approximately 4.5 kilometres northeast of Perth, serviced by the Midland railway line on the northern bank of the Swan River. In 1896 the name "Maylands" was first used to identify the area, appearing on a poster advertising a land auction. However the exact reason how the area got its name is something of a mystery.
The suburb was once a source of clay for brick and tile making at Maylands Brickworks, and the pits from these activities are now part of a golf course and residential area. It was home to Perth's main airport until the early 1960s, and the facilities were converted to a training area for the Western Australian Police Service.
Life in Maylands
Maylands is known as a cultural and creative hub as it is home to The West Australian Ballet Centre and home to the WA Youth Jazz Orchestra. In recent years, new bars, cafés and restaurants, along with gourmet food and retail outlets have all contributed to an ongoing transformation of the town centre into a lively, diverse and inclusive destination. There are numerous shopping centres in the area, 15 parks and reserves and two primary schools.
