548 Newcastle Street, West Perth WA 6005

Character ripper in a versatile location

This tuck-pointed federation home with wrap around verandah sits boldly on a 519m block on the corner of Newcastle St and Cleaver St West Perth, showcasing the charm and character of a bygone era with its turned verandah posts, coloured leadlight front entry and decorative chimneys protruding proudly through the high pitched tin roof. Currently leased as medical offices, the home offers the opportunity for a new buyer to earn rental income, whilst planning the remodelling of the layout and the enhancement of the home’s period features to transform this turn–of-the-century gem into a stunning family home.

A delightful array of heritage features are on show in this circa early 1900’s home. Immediately, you are drawn to the coloured leadlight entrance which welcomes you through the character hallways with decorative archway and into the elegant original rooms, currently set up as individual offices.

The home displays polished jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, exquisitely detailed cornices, picture rails, ceiling roses, decorative architraves, skirting boards, ornate fireplaces with cast-iron inserts and original mantle pieces and large federation sash windows.
To allow a convenient office set-up, the bathroom and kitchen are now quite basic, but a study of the floor plan will uncover the possibilities for an opening up of the internal living space to create a future relocation of either one or two bathrooms and an elaborate kitchen to suit a home of this era.

The laneway services the rear of the home which is currently used for vehicle parking for 6 cars with room for more. A future perimeter fence surrounding this area could see it evolve into a number of possibilities such as a delightful entertaining deck overlooking lush gardens and a rear remote controlled double garage and storeroom with laneway entry.

Conveniently in the midst of both a residential as well as commercial location and with a Mixed Use R160 zoning, you have the enviable choice of restoring the beautiful character of the home today and leaving it that way for ever, or at any point in the future, taking advantage of the dual zoning to either develop yourself or cash in and sell to a developer.
Being a corner lot and with a maximum height allowance of 6 storeys with city views, this really could become your superannuation nest egg. The current tenant has been there for many years with the possibility of either extending this or leasing out to professionals such as lawyers, dentists or doctors, as the home is already perfectly set up and in great condition for a number of consultancy and commercial occupations. Alternatively, perform a makeover to the extent you desire and you could choose to live in it yourself.

The location offers a lifestyle of choice being only a few minutes from the bustling Leederville Café and Shopping Strip, the Beatty Park Aquatic centre, Watertown at West Perth as well as Harold Boas Gardens and convenient access to the Leederville train station.
