Seeking an old character home that needs refurbishment?
Seeking a great building block in a central location?
BEING SOLD "AS IS" - here is an opportunity whatever your requirements.
Constructed around 1948, but with some very modern improvements undertaken recently, this 2/3 bedroom grand old dame has certainly seen better days. Tragically, she has been very badly abused recently and today she needs extensive refurbishment and restoration to restore her to liveability.
There is however, a real upside - she's Hardiplank construction and timber floored, recently she's had a zincalume roof replacement, she has had solar panels/invertor installed, a bottle gas HWS, a new meter box is in place, 3 large water tanks, a shed/workshop - all very positive. Plus there's even a separate granny flat affair - 1 bed, kitchenette & bathroom - basic, but ok too!
The rest, well people some will say just demolish and be done with it. Ok then, but it's all up to you.
If demolishing is your choice though, then you would have a 1,903 sqm block set right in the heart of Lesmurdie, just up the road from St Brigid's - perfect for your new home development.
A demolition would also offer a range of positives for your new dream home - 2 street access as it's on the corner of Lourdes Street, it's fairly level, almost square, great central location - how good is that!
Whatever your choice, just be aware, it’s being sold "AS IS", so if you want to refurbish, then no warranties, representations or conditions are offered by the seller. However if you do want to demolish, it must be undertaken within 6 months of settlement.
Either way, there's a great opportunity on offer for one lucky purchaser.

Like Kalamunda, the development of the "Lesmurdie" area is closely tied to the exploitation of the Jarrah forest in the region by the Canning Jarrah Timber Company Ltd. In 1897, Mr Archibald Sanderson, a Perth journalist commenced the acquisition of a number of these properties, with a view to building up a "rural retreat" and he named his property "Lesmurdie". Lesmurdie Cottage was a shooting-box in Banffshire, Scotland, near Dufftown and was let to Mr Sanderson's father for shooting. It was in memory of this cottage that Sanderson applied the name to his property.
The suburb has two shopping centres in the area including Lesmurdie Village on Sanderson Road and the Lesmurdie Road Shopping Centre on the corner of Rooth Rd and Lesmurdie Rd. There are three primary schools including Lesmurdie Primary School, Falls Road Primary School and St Brigid's, and also three high schools including Lesmurdie Senior High School, Mazenod College for boys and St Brigid's College for girls.
