If you're handy with the tools and prepared to roll up your sleeves, you must consider this budget buy on a big block in a popular family suburb.
It's priced to sell, so with a judicious further investment and a bit of elbow grease, the returns are certainly there for first buyers or investors.
The home has good-sized rooms, some of which have been recently painted, and solid jarrah floorboards – some exposed; others hidden gems under floor coverings.
It occupies an approx. 931sqm block over three lots on one Title, with a garage and plenty of off-road parking at the front and a fenced back yard with vehicular access for secure stowing of the trailer.
The main entrance opens into the lounge, a generous, sunny room with a picture window looking out to the front.
The lounge leads through to the kitchen and meals area. The kitchen needs modernisation, but it's a good-sized space that could be transformed easily enough on a budget, and the meals area accommodates a family-sized dining table.
A hallway off the lounge leads to the three bedrooms. Two are generous doubles (if not queen sized), and the main bedroom is easily big enough for a king-sized bed and plenty of storage space. The nearby bathroom has a shower, toilet and vanity.
A door off the kitchen leads out to the back patio and the laundry, and beyond that, the back yard, mostly in lawn and with two sheds.
This is an exciting project for a motivated buyer, as there's little structural work needed and the home promises a great deal with a facelift. It's currently tenanted, making it an ideal investment, and owner-occupiers could do the place up while living in it.
It's not surprising Yakamia is a favourite with homebuyers in all age groups for its proximity to town, schools, sporting facilities, a supermarket and fuel and liquor outlets.
Here's your chance to enjoy these benefits without breaking the bank.
