4/7 The Avenue, Crawley WA 6009

The location of this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhouse, in a tightly held complex of only 4 townhouses, is hard to beat!

It is situated across the road from the extensive parklands that comprise JH Abrahams Reserve, just 200m to the banks of the Swan River, and 600m to the picturesque Matilda Bay.

For UWA students or academics, the University of Western Australia is an easy 200m walk, so no need to worry about traffic or parking hassles. Those who work in the City or QE2 Medical Centre, can catch the free Purple Cat Bus Service, which runs every 15 minutes, and is also just 200m away.

If you’re not in the mood to cook, Broadway Pizza, the Little Way, the Thai Orchid restaurant, and Steves are a leisurely 300m walk. Stretch your legs, and many more tasty dining options can be found at The Broadway Fair shopping centre, as well as an IGA supermarket and Asian grocer, just 500m up the street.

The rear of this spacious (128sqm) townhouse faces north-west, so the kitchen and dining room are bathed in sunshine in the depth of winter (except at night and when it’s cloudy??). Similarly the rear courtyard is a cheerful, sunny escape at this time of year.

The building has an attractive architectural style, with high ceilings and quality jarrah joinery throughout (no cheap aluminium windows or doors here). If you’re hoping for a property where you can renovate according to your own (good) taste, this is for you! You won’t have to pay for someone else’s renovations that are not to your liking.

All 3 bedrooms have built-in robes, and bedrooms 1 and 2 share a balcony which enjoys parkland and river glimpses.

As each of the 4 townhouse proprietors owns their buildings and courtyards, the only common expenses relate to insurance, the driveway and some gardening, so quarterly strata fees are a very reasonable $500. Council rates are $2,068pa and water rates are $1,428.

Opportunities like this don’t come up very often, so don’t wait until everyone knows about it. Call me, GREG VOUDOURIS, on 0438072531 to arrange a private viewing.
