142 Hensman Road, Subiaco WA 6008

And this will take some bravery, but by George it’ll pay off. The old corner shop would make a perfect home office, consulting rooms, personal services space or shop (Council approvals required) whilst the attached house could be transformed into something amazing. Original Nissan & Sons Butchers Shop and later a Corner Store, this is one of only 5 corner stores remaining in Subiaco. Beware!! Not for the fainthearted!!
