21 Atkins Street, Jarrahdale WA 6124

HUGE 6056SQM BLOCK ZONED ‘R10’

This is a unique opportunity to own a property which is a vital part of the history of Jarrahdale, a beautiful historical logging town famous for its pristine natural bushland.

This site was the original site of the Roman Catholic St James Chapel in 1885. Later in 1923, it was handed over to the Sisters of St Josephs and became a convent. In 1924, a school was opened in a hall with 35 children in attendance. As a result of the great depression, the school and convent closed. Later in this period, the church was renovated and served until c1958 when the new church, St Maria Goretti, which still stands to this day, was built on this site.
Located in the town site, the block is partly cleared and gently sloping with a mixture of beautiful mature trees. The Church is constructed on stone footings and is located towards the front of the Atkins Street boundary. Internally, it has solid jarrah floorboards, the original solid timber doors, window frames and sash windows.

There is a large open area, previously the nave, which was used for congregation and two separate rooms located behind the altar area, one with a small kitchenette with two sinks and the other used as a storeroom. Special features of the building are the motif on the floor of the altar and the two original ‘stained glass’ windows which were donated by local families when the Church was built.

With R10 zoning and in such a beautiful setting, this is a property with so many possibilities. You can build your dream home, then renovate the existing Church and utilise it as a studio/gallery.
