Character Home on Approved Retain & Build Site
This character Maylands property presents a rare retain-and-build opportunity, with development approval in place for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom plus study townhouse, along with WAPC approval for a survey-strata subdivision. An ideal option for developers, investors or owner-builders seeking a value-add project, subject to relevant authority approvals and conditions.
Positioned directly opposite Charles Street Reserve and just moments from the vibrant Whatley Crescent and Eighth Avenue café precinct, 19 Charles Street is a rare opportunity to secure an original character home in one of Maylands’ most tightly held pockets.
Built circa 1910, this charming brick-and-tile cottage showcases original architectural craftsmanship and timeless street appeal. Set on a generous 558sqm green title block, the home remains largely unrenovated, offering an exciting blank canvas for those looking to restore, extend or reimagine while retaining its rich heritage (STCA).
Step inside and you’re immediately welcomed by the warmth of original features, including high ornate ceilings and stunning jarrah timber floors that flow throughout the home. The central hallway sets the tone, leading to three generously sized bedrooms, with the main bedroom at the front of the home featuring an original fireplace.
The kitchen and dining area is spacious and functional, complete with an original stove nook, ample bench space, under-bench storage and a gas cooktop. Bedroom three, positioned off this zone works equally well as an additional living area or home office, also featuring its own original fireplace.
Toward the rear of the home, an additional living room provides valuable extra space and connects through to the bathroom, which includes a bath, shower, vanity and toilet.
Outside, a rustic alfresco kitchen overlooks the expansive backyard, a true blank canvas with plenty of room to create your ideal outdoor space, extend the home or explore future potential (STCA). Rear laneway access adds further convenience and flexibility.
All of this is wrapped up in a location that continues to grow in demand. With Charles Street Reserve at your doorstep, Meltham Train Station approximately 800m away, and cafés, bars and local amenities just a short stroll from home, this is lifestyle-focused living with character at its core.

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.
