As well as being a favourite holiday destination for people from the Great Southern and beyond, Emu Point is home all year round to a privileged set of residents revelling in the relaxed lifestyle and the outstanding amenities.
So it's no wonder that real estate in this exceptional precinct is tightly held, and when a property such as 45 Bedwell Street comes on the market, it's sure to attract attention from a wide scope of buyers.
Having been a much-loved and well-maintained family property, this is a versatile holding with real potential for modernisation, expansion or development.
It consists of a sound, 1960s-built brick and tile home on a north-facing 861sqm block, a short walk from safe swimming beaches, fishing spots, cafés, fresh seafood sales, parks and tennis and bowls clubs, and only about a minute's drive to launch the boat.
Although in need of a makeover, the house is in good condition and could be easily transformed into a modern home to answer the demands of today's families.
Living areas consist of an open lounge and dining room heated by a built-in wood fire and an enclosed rear sunroom overlooking the garden.
The kitchen has gas cooking and a good-sized footprint that might be retained within a renovation project.
A hallway leads to the three bedrooms – one king, one double and the other a good-sized single – and the bathroom and laundry.
Though dated, everything inside is in good condition and the home was designed to exploit its sunny aspect with big windows and glazed doors.
A major drawcard for new owners is the size of the block, which is mostly in grass with good Colorbond steel fencing enclosing the back yard. Here, there's a terrific three-bay shed with remote-controlled roller doors, power connected and a workshop area on one side. It's ideal for parking the dinghy and trailer as well as the family car.
