Corner Block Development Potential
Surprise! This is actually more than a 3x1, because there is secret cabin annexe built from the 3rd bedroom, which could be used as a separate sleepout or private studio or a very slick gaming room. That fact alone should make this a pretty exciting place to call home, but there are some extra bonus features here too.
Bonus feature 1) The corner block allows access to a garage from around the corner on Somerset Street.
Bonus Feature 2) The R25/40 zoning gives you tonnes of cool development options. It's potentially a 3 unit site, or a retain and build 2 unit site. Or if you want to go development crazy you might even be able to get approval to build a small 2 storey set of apartments here too!
And the location is super cool! You've got walkability to parks and shops, and a great golf club if you're into that sort of thing, and a skate park nearby too (just don't go skating with the golf clubs… trust me).
The gardens here are lovely, and although the internal walls could benefit from a fresh coat of paint, it's a very homely home with a nifty personality to go with it.
Quick Facts:
• 792sqm CORNER block
• Zoned R25/40
• 3 or 4 bedrooms (depending on how you count them)
• Side access to a garage
• Super special secret cabin annex!

Forrestfield overview
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.
