82 Kelvin Street, Maylands WA 6051

Family-sized and charming character

Character homes on full-sized family blocks this close to the Swan River and Perth CBD are becoming increasingly rare. Set within one of Maylands' most tightly held family pockets, this much-loved 1950s residence sits on a generous 703sqm R30-zoned block with subdivision potential, offering timeless character, an incredible backyard where children can simply be kids, a flexible floor plan and the space for families to grow, live and create lasting memories.

Imagine waving the kids off to Maylands Peninsula Primary School from the front gate, weekend bike rides along the Swan River, afternoons kicking the footy at nearby Gibney Reserve and long summer evenings entertaining on the rear deck while the children enjoy the freedom of a backyard big enough to simply be kids. This is the sort of lifestyle many families search for but few are fortunate enough to secure.

The original home is full of warmth and character, showcasing gorgeous Jarrah hardwood floorboards, soaring decorative ceilings and the timeless charm that makes homes of this era so enduringly popular. At the rear, a substantial extension transforms the home into a practical family haven, creating a wonderfully light, bright and airy living environment. A separate kitchen sits at the heart of the home, connecting to a spacious open-plan family and dining area via a versatile activity space before flowing effortlessly through two sets of sliding doors onto the expansive timber deck.

The flexibility of the floor plan is another standout. The fourth bedroom is used as an office space/study, while one of the oversized front bedrooms could instead be used as an additional lounge or children's retreat, giving families the option of two separate living areas as their needs evolve.

Outside, the enormous backyard is the heart of the home. Established fruit trees including fig, pomegranate, mango, lemon and white mulberry provide a wonderful touch of character, while the abundance of lawn creates the perfect setting for backyard cricket, family gatherings and making memories that will last a lifetime. With R30 zoning and subdivision potential (subject to relevant approvals), there's also exciting scope for the future, including the potential to extend upwards and capture city views (subject to relevant approvals).
