What to love

Behind this unique residence’s unassuming exterior lies a sprawling 5 bedroom 2 bathroom floor plan, plenty of space for families (and even “tradies”) to spread out and a generous backyard begging for summer barbecues and playtime.

Sitting proudly on an expansive 892sqm corner block, this promising property already comes with a WAPC conditional approval for potential subdivision , giving you options to renovate, re-build or even develop. Whether you dream of crafting your forever home or exploring investment opportunities, this is a rare chance to turn possibility into reality.

There are two separate living areas inside, as well as an updated kitchen and dining area – plus a versatile fifth bedroom (or study) that can be whatever you want it to be. The central family room seamlessly flows outdoors to a massive 72sqm pitched patio-entertaining deck with café blinds for protection from the elements, pleasantly overlooking lots of secure lawn space for the kids and pets to run around on without a worry in the world.

Also outside are a large enclosed gym/multi-purpose room with power points, a separate studio-come-workshop shed with its own three-phase power connected and a separate double lock-up garage off the front driveway – high angled ceilings and all. There is also plenty of room for a future swimming pool on-site, as well as extra boat, caravan or trailer parking options.

Stroll to lush local parklands with playgrounds for the young ones, childcare and medical facilities next door, the All Foods Market IGA at Padbury Shopping Centre, South Padbury Primary School (catchment zone) and even Padbury Catholic Primary School. The stunning Hepburn Heights Conservation Area is also nearby, while commuters will appreciate quick access to the freeway and Greenwood and Whitfords Train Stations. Other excellent educational facilities such as Duncraig Senior High School (catchment), Sacred Heart College and St Mark’s Anglican Community School are within reach, as are trendy local cafes, Westfield Whitford City Shopping Centre, Craigie Leisure Centre and Open Space, Hillarys Boat Harbour, the new Hillarys Beach Club and glorious swimming beaches. Spacious, flexible and ready for your vision – this is a home with serious upside!
