So Much Potential!
Built circa 1951, this two bedroom 1950’s house is located in the sought-after Banks Reserve river precinct of Mt Lawley, only a minute from the Swan River and walking distance to the Mt Lawley Café and Shopping strip and the Mt Lawley Train Station. You can enjoy a stroll through Banks Reserve and over the bridge to the Optus Stadium or wander up to the bars and cafes at Claisebrook Cove in East Perth or go in the other direction towards the trendy Maylands 8th Avenue strip.
With only a small number of properties in this idyllic location, the home presents as an ideal candidate for a makeover into a two storey or split level abode. With plenty of space to renovate on this R 20 zoned 554m block, why not expand upon the current 2 bedroom brick and tile home with Jarrah floor boards throughout, roomy lounge, basic kitchen, 1 tidy bathroom, garage parking for 1 and plenty of verge parking.
Blocks on this side of the street slope downward toward the rear, lending itself to create a split level rear section with large balcony overlooking lush tall trees and lawn areas, with a bit of elbow grease from avid gardeners. A frontal 2nd level would certainly even further
Currently the home is simple, but with its own charm and has the elements of being a real “diamond in the rough”, otherwise, you might decide to demolish and design and build your own dream home here.
