Commanding a prestigious 908sqm (approx.) corner site in one of leafy Coolbinia's most coveted pockets, this grand old dame is brimming with warmth, charm and future promise.
With timeless character and a presence that's impossible to ignore, the largely-original 2 bedroom 1 bathroom residence with a massive backyard offers a rare chance to restore and extend what remains of yesteryear - or start fresh and craft a contemporary masterpiece to sit proudly among the quality modern homes that surround.
Whether you decide to preserve the soaring high ceilings, solid wooden floorboards and feature decorative ceiling cornices on show, or wish to build anew from the ground up and create an expansive floor plan with that study, theatre room, alfresco, balcony, double garage, workshop and swimming pool you have always wanted (yes, there will be space for all of that - and then some), you will be in absolute awe of this unique property's seemingly-endless potential, here.
Nothing is too far away from your front doorstep either, with a host of lush local parklands (including the majestic Yokine Regional Open Space nearby), bus stops, Coolbinia Primary School, wonderful community sporting facilities and the Flinders Square and Dog Swamp Shopping Centres all within easy walking distance.
The likes of premium golf courses, other top schools (including Mount Lawley Senior High School), public-transport options, cafes, restaurants, the surrounding entertainment precincts of Mount Lawley, North Perth, Mount Hawthorn, Leederville and Northbridge, the city, the freeway and even our pristine Western Australian coastline are also within arm's reach and merely add to the central convenience of this prominent block with a glorious past.
Whether you're a dreamer or designer, this is a canvas like no other. Opportunity knocks - and loudly!
The property is sold where is, as is, as it stands and the seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind and the buyer relies entirely on their own due diligence.
