Ripe for renovation, this cottage home is almost a century old and needs the love of someone clever to get it back into tip top shape. Big bonus: it also sits on a large 2,024sqm block that is zoned by the Shire of Mundaring as 'Local Centre', which means you can develop it for residential or commercial use. It's currently vacant and is being offered exactly as it is - but that's not to say it's without charm! The home has loads of character thanks to the original features that include original Jarrah floorboards, wainscoting, recessed shelving, great sized rooms, and high ceilings. Pretty as a picture, it sits amongst gardens of roses, hibiscus, and native plants, with a magnificent Jacaranda tree taking pride of place in the front yard. If you love the idea of holding onto your very own slice of history, this could be ideal for you.
It does need some repairs to bring it up to scratch, including some structural defects in regard to the roof structure that can be fixed to coincide with the replacement of the tin roof. Extensions and modifications are permitted by the Shire, and it meets smoke alarm and RCD compliance. The owners will provide a pre-purchase inspection report that will provide further information on defects. However, please note that structural and timber pest inspections do not form part of the contract.
Should you choose to demolish the home and rebuild, zoning rules require construction of more than a single dwelling. Indeed you can build as many units as you can fit without subdividing, as long as the effluent waste disposal system has the capabilities to service them all, Bushfire Attack Level is adhered to, and approval is granted by the Shire of Mundaring.
Features include:
• Circa 1930s cottage home on large block with development potential
• Renovate or develop (home being sold on an 'as is' basis)
• 3 bedrooms & study/retreat
• 1 bathroom with separate WC
• Laundry/mud room
• Large lounge room
• Loads of character throughout including high ceilings, Jarrah flooring & wall panelling
• Covered front porch & side verandah
• Garden shed
• Beautiful Jacaranda tree, natives & rose bushes
• Zoned Local Centre: potential for group dwellings, commercial uses & more (subject to shire approvals & effluent waste capacity)
• Large fenced 2,024m2 block with lovely outlook
• Walking distance to IGA, butcher, chemist, bakery & medical office
As the saying goes: location, location, location. Situated in gorgeous Glen Forrest within walking distance of the local shops and medical offices, this is a great spot whether you decide to renovate and then live in or lease out the home, build a property portfolio with residential units, or develop the block for commercial use such as a restaurant, childcare facility, or any number of other establishments. So bring your plans and enthusiasm, consult with the Shire, roll up your sleeves, and give this property a fresh new start - whether that looks like a shiny new investment portfolio or a beautiful little slice of the historic Hills.
Embrace change.
