Set well back from the street and brimming with timeless charm, this solid single-level 3 bedroom 1 bathroom brick-and-tile residence is a classic slice of interwar Californian bungalow character — complete with a signature pitched roofline and a welcoming street presence that whispers of yesteryear.
But don’t let its simple elegance fool you. With a sprawling 951sqm (approx.) block and R40/60 zoning accompanying it, the real magic lies in the future possibilities. Whether you’re dreaming of a savvy multi-dwelling development (subject to WAPC and council approval, of course), a creative subdivision or simply land-banking with style, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t knock twice.
The existing home is neat, nostalgic and packed with potential — ready for a thoughtful renovation or to make way for something bold and new. It’s a rare offering with serious upside in a well-connected pocket of Perth.
High ceilings, picture rails, decorative cornices and tall feature skirting boards are commonplace throughout – including within the welcoming front living room, as well as the adjacent formal dining room that sits on the other side of gorgeous double doors. The heart and soul of the house is a central country-style kitchen/meals area with a gas cooktop, neighbouring oven and built-in storage.
Hugging the kitchen is a versatile sleep out that can be whatever you want it to be – even a study or activity nook. The massive front master bedroom is carpeted for comfort, with gleaming wooden floorboards are on show for all to see, within the generous second bedroom across the corridor.
The stylish bathroom, in between the two rooms, has been cleverly updated over time to include a corner shower and a powder vanity. Next to the sleep out lies a third bedroom that is also brilliant in its flexibility. Outdoors, a spacious patio-entertaining area overlooks an enormous tree-lined backyard with potential aplenty.
The fantastic – 24 hours a day, seven days a week – Good Grocer Wembley IGA supermarket sits just across the road, with bus stops, cafes, restaurants, bars and even The Wembley Hotel all mere footsteps away, as well. Nearby Lake Monger, Herdsman Lake, Henderson Park and beautiful lakeside Mabel Talbot Park also sits within easy distance, as do wonderful community sporting facilities, top schools, train stations and the heart of neighbouring Subiaco (including shopping and medical amenities).
A direct route to the coast – with Cambridge Street becoming Oceanic Drive and leading you all the way down to City Beach – and the city should not be underestimated, either. This outstanding location simply knows no bounds.
This rare canvas is where visionaries lay foundations. Get ready for your next exciting chapter to be written!
