24 Rockliff Avenue, Karrinyup WA 6018

Loads of Character, Plenty of Potential

What we love
Is the quiet street location, magical ocean views and the spacious block that this splendid 3 bedroom 1 bathroom brick-and-tile home finds itself so comfortably nestled on. With more than enough scope to renovate and add your own personal modern touches throughout, this Karrinyup charmer can easily be lived in or rented out until you plan what your next move will be – and it may include drawing up the plans for a future two-storey residence to capitalise on the potential ocean views on offer, currently just glimpses from your front verandah. Solid wooden floorboards, high ceilings, feature ceiling cornices and timber skirting boards help ensure that the home’s original nostalgia from yesteryear remains very much intact.

At the front of the home lies a large front lounge room with a wood fireplace – complete with striking feature stonework and a leafy garden outlook from here is simply an added bonus. Double sliders reveal the dining area and kitchen, where you will find a skylight, tiled splashbacks, double sinks and a stainless-steel electric-upright cooker. The latter overlooks a sunken and enclosed family room with a servery window into the kitchen, plus access to a paved rear courtyard, the outdoor patio-entertaining area and what is essentially a massive “blank canvas” of an elevated backyard. The property also falls within the sought-after catchment zones for both Deanmore Primary School and Churchlands Senior High School, which only adds to the appeal here.

What to know
Amongst the property upgrades and extras are a new electric storage hot-water system, updated paint, a new separate toilet (off the laundry), new laundry and toilet flooring (tiling and vinyl) and a new electric oven. There is also a single garage with a roller door and patio access. Other features of note are a spacious and paved front courtyard for further entertaining, a huge master bedroom with a feature ceiling and fan, a practical bathroom with a separate bath and shower, backyard access from the laundry, a linen press and a garden shed.

A plethora of picturesque local parklands can be found nearby, as can bus stops, community sporting facilities and pristine natural bushland. St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School, Our Lady of Good Counsel School, Hale School, Newman College, new-look Scarborough Beach, Trigg Point, cafes, restaurants, and the refreshed and refurbished Karrinyup Shopping Centre are all also within a very handy radius. Throw in a very close proximity to beautiful Lake Gwelup, golf courses, the freeway and even Stirling Train Station and you have yourself quite the location. Imagine the lifestyle you are destined to live, no matter what you decide.
