Large block, character home, park outlook: no notes

Looking for forever with space to spare? This character delight on its full 668sqm R25 block with ROW at the rear, is giving some serious put-a-ring-on-it vibes. Sitting oh, so pretty opposite a leafy reserve, it’s the kind of home that reminds you why people love the classics - and the enticement of future options*! Timber floors, high ceilings, rooms that actually fit furniture without requiring a degree in advanced geometry, and a feeling that’s warm and welcoming. The two main bedrooms are proper, old-school generous, plus there’s a sleepout ready to be transformed into whatever your life currently demands from a ripper home office to creative retreat to extra bedroom. The kitchen is light, bright, and practical, the living spaces calm and comfortable, the bathroom boasts a corner tub, and the backyard is a bit of a showoff. The backyard is fabulously huge, with an undercover entertaining area and still enough room for a bit of kickabout, cricket, a couple of large pooches, ambitious veggie patches, a workshop, or whatever else you’ve always wanted the space to do. And then there’s the block. With the option to potentially subdivide*, extend*, demo & develop* or build new* now or down the track, you’ve got space for future plans or the bonus of having your super fund in your backyard. A character classic with room to spare, potential financial upside and permanent parklife included. Gotta love that.

Location-wise, this address is goals. Obviously, you’ve got the no-maintenance-required-from-you greenery across the road, but you’ve also got Beaufort Street, Grand Prom, and Whatley Crescent all just moments away. Which means plenty of room to breathe and plenty of good stuff to do. In the surrounding streets you’ll find parks, playgrounds, and sporting facilities in every direction, including Toowong Reserve Basketball Court (280m), Mills Avenue Park Playground (800m), Halliday Park (1.2km), and Frank Drago Reserve & Bayswater Sports Clubs (1.5km), so whether you're chasing fresh air, tiring out small humans, or simply clocking up some steps, you're spoilt for choice. Getting out and about is refreshingly simple with Meltham Train Station (650m) and Bayswater Train Station (1.4km) nearby, while Grand Promenade (450m), Beaufort Street (750m), and Tonkin Highway access (3.6km) keep the rest of Perth well within reach. But honestly, why would you want to go anywhere else with local favourites including JUNI Cafe (1.4km), Cecchi's (1.5km), King Somm Bar (1.4km), and Baysie 3.8 (1.7km) all within strolling distance? With everyday essentials covered by Coles Inglewood (1.7km) and the newly re-opened Morley Galleria (3.1km). The perfect start in the perfect pocket of Baysie.
