A Rare 1,012sqm Bushland Retreat With Big-Block Upside
THE HOME Tucked away in a whisper-quiet Dalkeith pocket, 6 Hotchin Street is the kind of north-facing landholding buyers wait years to see (and move on quickly when it appears.) Set on a sprawling 1,012sqm with a wide 22.6m frontage, this is blue-chip block in one of Perth's most tightly held riverside suburbs, with an immediately livable 1950s brick-and-tile home giving you income, flexibility and breathing space while you plan the future.
Lovingly maintained, the residence sits lightly in its native garden setting and radiates warmth from the moment you step inside. Timber floors, high ceilings and generous original proportions create that hard-to-find blend of charm and comfort, while large picture windows pull in natural light and private leafy vistas from every angle. With two well-proportioned bedrooms, a central bathroom, and a functional kitchen overlooking the gardens, the home is perfectly comfortable to live in or lease out as is, yet still offers clear scope to update, extend or ultimately replace with a luxury new residence.
THE LOCALE Dalkeith occupies a prized position on a Swan River peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides and just moments from the CBD, Claremont and the broader western suburbs. Residents enjoy tree-lined streets, expansive parklands and a refined riverside lifestyle, with easy access to yacht clubs, river walks and high-end dining and shopping in nearby Nedlands and Claremont.
From Hotchin Street, you are moments to local parks, riverside reserves and an excellent line-up of schools, including Dalkeith Primary and an array of elite private colleges along the Stirling Highway and Mount Claremont education belt. Bus links and major road connections make commuting to the city straightforward, while the Claremont train station and Claremont Quarter place premium retail and amenity within easy reach.
WHAT'S INSIDE Step in from the leafy front garden to a welcoming entry that immediately showcases the home's timber floors and classic mid-century lines. The light-filled living and dining zone enjoys tranquil garden outlooks, providing an inviting everyday hub and a relaxed space for entertaining family and friends.
The practical kitchen offers ample storage and bench space, with an easy flow to the outdoor areas and clear potential for future renovation or extension. Two well-proportioned bedrooms each capture green, private aspects, while the central bathroom retains original character features that speak to the home's 1950s heritage.
OUTDOORS & MORE Outdoors is where this property settles into the landscape, framed by native bush and generous shade. The 1,012sqm north-facing landholding, framed by mature gums, bottlebrush and layered native planting, delivers a genuine bushland feel rare this close to the city. A covered pergola and paved entertaining areas sit nestled within established gardens, creating a tranquil setting for alfresco dining, children's play, or quiet morning coffee under the trees.
With its wide 22.6m frontage, the block gives you enviable design freedom for a substantial new residence, complete with pool, landscaped gardens and multiple living zones, subject to council approval. In the meantime, there is driveway parking plus a double carport, plenty of lawn and garden space, and that hard-to-replicate sense of privacy only a big, mature block can deliver.
