Margaret River Charm | Options + Income

This unique two-storey home exudes original Margaret River charm and character, has been renovated in a luxe style and is packed with incredible features. Set on a generous 1012m² block, it offers six spacious bedrooms and five truly stunning bathrooms making it an ideal large family home or potential BnB. The fully self-contained downstairs area boasts three large bedrooms, including a beautiful primary suite with its own sitting area and ensuite. The second bedroom features a newly renovated ensuite, while the third has access to a newly renovated common bathroom. The north-facing lounge is bathed in winter sunlight, with large windows that open onto an expansive undercover decked area, complete with a raised jarrah decked pathway leading to a secluded sitting nook amidst the trees. At the rear of the house, the outdoor space continues with a fully enclosable outdoor kitchen on jarrah decking, featuring a perfectly positioned pizza oven.

Upstairs, the home opens into a large, airy, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Two additional bedrooms are found here, including a second primary suite with a luxurious claw-foot bath in the exquisite ensuite, which leads to a private decked balcony nestled among the trees. The second bedroom also opens onto a back-decked balcony, with views of the lush backyard and surrounding forest. A separate third bedroom is perfect for BnB with a gorgeous ensuite, lovely views and access from the balcony.

The tiered, lawned backyard includes raised vegetable beds, a chook pen, large shed, woodshed, and a spacious upper terrace housing a caravan with its own rear lane access.

The property backs onto a native reserve, and neighbours have added extra stand-alone residence/ancillary dwellings which is an option for this property too! Under the new STRA laws (short-term residential accommodation ) you could bring in extra income once built or live in it yourself and rent the whole house. The income potential and options are endless.

The back lane leads to the renowned Brewhouse, just a short walk away, and continues into town past Rotary Park, following a scenic 2.5km river walk where you can stop for a cappuccino at The Hairy Marron. The walk to town takes less than 10mins, with a 1mins drive offering even quicker access. Additionally, the famous Ginversity is a short stroll across the road.

The home is equipped with a central wood fire positioned by the stairwell, heating both levels, alongside a large R/C A/C for convenience. The upper front balcony and lower back outdoor kitchen area feature professionally installed lockable blinds for added security. The property also includes a 30,000L rainwater tank, a 6kW solar system with solar hot water, and parking for 8+ cars, both in front and back.

Plans had been considered to demolish the existing shed and build a self-contained granny flat with two bedrooms on a mezzanine level, offering uninterrupted forest views. Currently, the owners live upstairs while renting individual rooms in the downstairs area, which are highly sought after and have been rented for $250-$300/week.
