Freshly painted and thoughtfully updated throughout, it's a walk-in-ready coastal haven awaiting its next custodians.

True to its era, it is delightfully utilitarian yet irresistibly charming, offering a lifestyle that is both effortless and enduring.
A rare offering for Scarborough, the outdoor realm is as private as it is picturesque. The uniquely located block unfolds into a series of green, secluded spaces — places to entertain, to dine beneath the trees, to garden, or simply to retreat in quiet solitude. Framed by mature trees and established greenery, every window captures a calming aspect to nature, reinforcing the home's sense of sanctuary. A generous two-car parking area completes the practicality of this serene setting.
The newly renovated bathroom and laundry embrace a soft, neutral palette, elevated by all new tiling, waterproofing, cabinetry, vanity and toilet, and ABI tapware. The result is a calm, contemporary space that feels both functional and composed.
The refreshed kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with modern appliances, including a brand-new Westinghouse range hood and oven, an Omega cooktop, a new stainless-steel sink and contemporary tapware. Generous in scale, it offers ample space to cook, gather, and enjoy — a functional hub with an effortless, everyday ease.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, each framing outlooks to the surrounding greenery and valley through their timber-framed windows. The main bedroom is further enhanced by a new Fujitsu air-conditioner, ensuring year-round comfort.
Perfectly positioned for the quintessential Scarborough lifestyle, 42 Southbourne Street sits moments from the sweeping green of Abbett Park and the lively Scarborough Beach precinct — home to the iconic pool, amphitheatre, markets and endless summer energy. From morning swims to sunset gatherings and long, warm evenings by the shore, this is a neighbourhood that lives and breathes the outdoors. Karrinyup Shopping Centre is just minutes away, offering effortless dining, fashion and convenience. In a suburb celebrated for its coastal vibrancy, this property stands distinctly apart — offering a mid-century home on an elevated, uniquely private block with exceptional lifestyle appeal and exciting potential for the future.
