Corner Block Brilliance With Future Upside
Cornering a deep 488 sqm (approx) green title allotment in a prized neighbourhood, this charming solid-brick 1950s home holds a standout position within a quiet, established streetscape, framed by mature gardens on all sides. Situated within the Canning Highway development plan adds a powerful layer of long-term appeal, making this a property that speaks just as clearly to future plans as it does to immediate enjoyment.
Red brick pathways and cascading wisteria lead to the front of the home, leading into interiors that retain their original proportions, with solid timber floors, ornate ceilings, and leadlight detailing carried through a light-filled, highly workable layout. A generous central living room with a fireplace connects to a formal dining space, flowing through to an oversized kitchen updated with a freestanding gas stove and rear-garden access. The footprint works as is, while offering a solid framework for renovation, with two genuinely spacious bedrooms, including the main with split-system air conditioning, plus a central bathroom. Out back, the garden shrouds the home in lush green privacy, planted with fig, pomegranate, and grape vines and offering multiple outdoor zones to dine, relax, or extend later down the track (STCA).
A large lock-up garage, laundry, and outdoor WC add practical value, while the corner setting boosts access, light, and flexibility. Quietly set, yet positioned close to the Swan River, thriving café culture, the highway and key transport routes, the balance here is compelling: a well-kept character home you can live in now, with land, zoning and configuration that support what comes next.

Como is an established suburb bound to the west by the Canning and Swan Rivers. Part of the City of South Perth's municipality, Como experienced its most significant development during the 1950s and 1960s, with gradual growth since the early 1990s as new dwellings were added to the area.
