Some properties come with a very definite plan. This one prefers to keep its options open. Set on a 710sqm corner block in Langford, this original 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers three fairly compelling paths: renovate it, retain it as an investment, or start again and make the most of the land.
For those thinking bigger, the R30 Corner Lot Density Bonus creates potential to demolish the existing home and develop two new dwellings, subject to the relevant approvals, with two driveway crossovers already in place. Renovators, meanwhile, have a perfectly liveable home to work with and plenty of scope to make their mark. Or simply leave things as they are. Currently leased periodically at $600 per week, the home has a long-term tenant who loves the home and would happily to stay on. Renovate, develop or invest — there's a case to be made for all three.
Inside, things are fairly straightforward and largely original. The front lounge has reverse cycle air conditioning, while the U-shaped kitchen overlooks the meals area and provides a practical starting point for anyone keen to renovate. There is plenty here to work with here.
All three bedrooms are comfortable, with reverse cycle air conditioning to the master, while ducted evaporative cooling runs throughout the home. The bathroom remains in original condition with a separate bath and shower. Nothing overly fancy. Just a solid, functional home ready for its next chapter.
THE QUICK VERSION
* 3-phase power connected
* Front lounge with reverse cycle air conditioning
* U-shaped kitchen overlooking the adjoining meals area
* Three comfortable bedrooms, including an air-conditioned master bedroom
* Original family bathroom complete with a separate bath and shower recess
* Ducted evaporative cooling throughout
* Security screens fitted to windows
* Private front courtyard tucked securely behind a brick wall
* Covered patio provides an easy spot for outdoor meals and weekend entertaining
* Established backyard with paved areas, mature gardens and productive fruit trees
* Two small garden sheds provide handy storage for tools and outdoor equipment
* Rear single carport with its own street access for convenient covered parking
* Separate garage positioned alongside the home for parking, storage or projects
The established gardens have had years to settle in, with paved areas keeping maintenance manageable and an impressive collection of fruit trees including Navel and Valencia oranges, a citrus hybrid and two large mango trees producing big, sweet fruit. A covered patio, two garden sheds, rear carport and separate garage round things out.
Across the road, Brookman Primary School could hardly be more convenient for families — the school run is essentially a walk across the oval. Other local schools are also within easy reach, while Westfield Carousel is just 3km away and Thornlie Station around 2.3km from home. Add easy access to Roe Highway and Albany Highway, along with nearby parks, shops and public transport, and day-to-day life is nicely connected. Renovate it. Develop it. Keep the tenant and collect the rent. There are plenty of ways to make this one work — the hard part might simply be deciding which way to go.

One of the City of Gosnells most recent localities, Langford began suburbanisation in the 1970s, but it wasn't till the late 1990s when a program for urban renewal and redevelopment was initiated that Langford transformed into the desirable suburb it is today. Langford is 17 kilometres southeast of Perth with Canning River to the north of the suburb and Roe Highway accessible from the east and south.
There are numerous parks and reserves in Langford, like the Langford Avenue Reserve, as well as recreational facilities like the Langford Sporting Complex and Langford Community Centre. The Landford Tavern and Langford Ale House contribute to the sense of community within the suburb and there is also a Village Shopping Centre for added local convenience. Brookman Primary School is the local school with a number of neighbouring schools close by.
