How can you beat this for value? This property offers a big, BIG, 2-storey, 5-bed, 2-bathroom home with a giant 4-car under croft garage, workshop, cellar and plenty of garden. It's positioned just 3.5km from Port Coogee Marina, Manning Park, and Coogee Beach. South Beach is only 6km away, as are all the great bars, restaurants, cafes and shops of South Fremantle. Summing all this up… block size, house size, and the home's location on a quiet residential street - all for around $700,000 - it's a BARGAIN!
Double brick and concrete, with a clay-tiled roof, the house was built in 1976 and has vintage features throughout. These homes have come into their own in recent years, built tough and super-solid, with great proportions and a funky feel. This is an immensely practical house with a huge element of fun. At entry level there is lock-up parking for four vehicles, and you can drive all the way through to the back garden. A wide, central hallway divides the huge garage from the laundry, shower and toilet. There's also a workshop/potential 5th bedroom or study on this side.
A magnificent, tiled staircase leads up to the first floor where you'll find the main living areas. There's a lovely sense of elevation, with a hallway leading to 4 good-sized bedrooms. The lounge and the main bedroom have street frontage, and each has its own crescent balcony. Glass sliding doors separate the main living areas, and the lounge has its original feature-brick bar just waiting to be restocked! There's also a long terrace at the rear with steps leading down to the garden.
Outside, landscaping beckons! With a little bit of imagination this could be a beautiful, big garden -alfresco, swimming pool, cabana - wonderland! The grass is in, the block is flat and there is easy access to work on it.
The more I write about this one the more excited I get - this is a real opportunity. The potential is enormous, and this kind of reno/makeover is FUN, with so much space to operate in and around so you can live comfortably while you plan all the details. There are so many options here - not least a self-contained space downstairs for extra income.
