25 Karimba Street, Wanneroo WA 6065

25 Karimba Street is wonderfully individual, unmistakably 1970s and has been a much-loved family home filled with happy memories.

Held by the same family from the beginning, this is a home that has changed as they have. Extra living space was added when more room was needed, generations have gathered here and, rather wonderfully, many of the distinctive features that gave the home its personality in the first place remain.

3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Sunken Lounge | Dining | Games | Enclosed Patio/Activity | Below-Ground Pool | Garage | Powered Shed | 2.5Kw Solar | Approx. 689m² | Approx. 21.32m Frontage | R20

Come through the front door and you get your first taste of what makes this one different, before stepping down into the large and lovely sunken lounge. This is the room that sets the tone for the entire home, with soaring cathedral ceilings, decorative dark timber beams and wonderful proportions creating a living space with genuine presence. There is a lot here worth celebrating rather than covering up.

A few steps up brings you to the kitchen and dining area, where the layout works particularly well for family life. The dining space sits directly opposite the kitchen, so whoever draws the short straw and cooks dinner can still chat with everyone rather than being tucked away from the action.

The kitchen itself is wonderfully original, with timber cabinetry and plenty of reminders of the era in which the home was built. You may have grand plans for it, you may decide to work with what is here, but either way it is another part of a home that certainly doesn't lack personality.

As family life grew, the house grew with it. A generous games room was added to provide a substantial second living area and gives you the separation that is so useful in a three-bedroom home. There is room for a big television, games table, kids and their friends, or simply somewhere to retreat when different generations have different ideas about what they would like to watch.

From here, the enclosed patio adds another very functional extension to the living space. This space gives you a genuinely useful year-round area that would make a terrific playroom, home gym, activity zone or hobby space. Close the door on the toys, leave the exercise equipment set up permanently or give the teenagers somewhere to make themselves comfortable.

The three bedrooms continue the home's individual flavour, while the family bathroom is another wonderfully original reminder of its era. There is also a separate laundry and good storage to take care of the practicalities.

Outside, the approximately 689m² block provides plenty of space for entertaining and recreation, with a below-ground pool ready for Perth summers

There is a double carport for secure parking, while the broad frontage provides scope for additional off street parking.

2.5Kw solar and a massive heat pump hot water system adds a useful modern inclusion to a home that otherwise wears its age with considerable pride.

The powered shed has been in full use over the years, as you will see when you inspect the home to appreciate all the clever storage the loving owner has added over the years.

This is not a recently renovated home where every trace of its past has been replaced with whatever happens to be fashionable right now. It has been loved, lived in and added to over the years, and there is something rather special about seeing so much of its original personality still intact.

Yes, there are things you may want to change. But there are also features here that would be incredibly difficult to recreate today. That magnificent sunken lounge, the soaring cathedral ceilings, those decorative beams and the interesting split-level design give the next owners a fabulous starting point.

Keep it groovy. Give it a contemporary twist. Update progressively as time and budget allow. This is one where you can have some fun.

Positioned on approximately 689m² with an approximately 21.32m frontage, the R20 property is conveniently located for local schools, shopping and transport, with Wanneroo Central all within easy reach.

After more than five decades of family life, 25 Karimba Street is ready for someone else to bring their own ideas, their own people and, eventually, their own collection of happy memories.
