THE HOME
Sitting proudly on a huge elevated block with sweeping ocean views towards Rottnest Island, this solid 4 bedroom 3 bathroom brick-and-tile beauty carries the kind of mid-century charm you simply can't replicate. The very first home ever built on the street - and lovingly held by the same family ever since, it's brimming with character, history and untapped potential. Renovate, extend or reimagine entirely, with duplex-subdivision possibilities (subject to local council and Western Australian Planning Commission approvals) prevalent for either side-by-side lots or a front-and-rear split. Rare, versatile and packed with opportunity, this is coastal living at its most exciting!
