Development Opportunity with Classic Broome Character

Hudson McKenna is proud to present 49 Forrest St, Broome ... occupying a prominent corner position on Hopton Street and Forrest Street, this substantial 928 square metre Old Broome property captures the essence of Broome living - wide open spaces, tropical breezes and relaxed outdoor entertaining. Zoned R30, it presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a large family home with genuine development potential in one of Broome's most desirable locations.

The home is an older style Broome residence showcasing the charm and craftsmanship that make this era so sought after. High ceilings, feature wall panelling and spacious interiors create a warm, welcoming feel throughout. All four bedrooms include built in robes, and the passageway and bedrooms feature traditional timber shutters that open to allow cooling cross breezes to flow through the home during the warmer months.

The kitchen is the heart of the home and perfectly designed for both functionality and character. It includes ample cupboard storage, a central island bench, and a unique pass through window that opens to a bright sunroom - ideal for family dining or morning coffee. Louvre windows invite light and airflow, while neutral toned blinds and cyclone-rated mesh or Invisi screens provide additional storm protection and privacy across all windows.

The home also features a large private study with its own external door, perfect for a home based business or those working remotely who value a separate entry.

Outdoors, the property embraces Broome's laid back lifestyle with multiple entertaining spaces, a sparkling swimming pool, and a large double garage/shed. A separate timber framed structure with an outdoor shower and toilet complements the dedicated caravan site, ideal for guests or extended stays.

Set within walking distance of the Town Beach precinct, this location offers easy access to the Thursday night markets, the famous Staircase to the Moon, and the newly redeveloped jetty - all just moments from your front door.
