This 1920’s home has seen some changes, and now it's ready for the next phase of its life and is being sold “As-Is”.
You choose – renovate and bring it back to its period features or lay it to rest and let your new creation spring forth!
The property is Zoned R20 and the downward sloping rectangular 654m block has a width of approximately 12.2m and a depth of approximately 54.7m and is the ideal location to create a single level frontage with a split-level rear, or a two storey frontage that could carry through to the rear which could then comprise of 2 rear lower levels with a top level open entertaining deck above with possible city views.
The existing home will need a lot of work if the desire is to renovate, but the result could be worth it if only the front section of the home was retained and then build on in character fashion at the rear. It currently comprises of a short central hallway and two bedrooms, plus a single bathroom further along. This opens out to a basic kitchen/meals area and another bedroom adjacent. At the rear there is a sleepout and a further partitioned room. A stairway leads down to an under-croft lower kitchen and two small bedrooms, plus a separate laundry, all in original condition
The back yard spreads downwards to the rear fence line over a few different levels with a large work shed and adjoining toilet and shower. Let your imagination take over and see beyond the old chook pens and a some cleaning up that is needed, instead envisioning the resulting clean yard that will allow a unique and entertaining back garden with a possible pool deck and outdoor kitchen and room for more.
The property is only meters from the Swan River and the ever-popular Banks Reserve with its new adventure playground, barbeques, skate ramps and walking/cycling paths to the city or across to Burswood and the new Optus Stadium.
Bringing life to your new home here will be a lifestyle choice for those that want to raise a family within close proximity to the city and the vibrancy of the Beaufort St shopping and café precinct. Your entertainment options continue with the Astor theatre, nearby NIB Stadium and the many sporting clubs including the Mt Lawley Golf Club and Mt Lawley Tennis Club. Other nearby amenities include the St John of God Hospital and the Mt Lawley and East Perth Train stations and the many well regarded public and private primary and secondary schools and colleges including Trinity, Mercedes College, Perth College, Mt Lawley high school and Sacred Heart and Highgate Primary.
Add to this the excitement that the new East Perth power station development will bring, and the opportunity to stroll down to the foreshore any evening and watch the neon light show from the Mattagarup bridge and Optus Stadium and you have the perfect location to create your future abode.
