50 Mephan Street, Maylands WA 6051

Phone enquiry ID: 69526

This 270m2 green title lot has rare street frontage in the inner city, nestled among Maylands’ long list of amenities and only a short ride or drive to the river and CBD.

The lot and house concept designs have been created to maximise space for a home and rear garden. These concept designs have been professionally prepared for the site and is included. The double storey design includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2 bay car port, and an open plan living area leading on to a generous back garden. From the tree lined street, step inside and be charmed by the blanket of natural light that covers every inch of the site. Use the design, adjust or create your own.

With 7.76 metres street frontage, 50 Mephan Street is rare in the Maylands area. It offers privacy and space in a friendly neighbourhood on one of Maylands best kept streets.

We've had a few quotes from builders between $290,000 and $500,000 at the high end.  Essentially the build cost is dependent on the level of finish (polished concrete, timber staircase and inclusion of the pool, rooftop garden etc). We are selling the land ourselves via, rather than through, a Real Estate agent saving the buyer @$12k.

There have been four restrictions flagged by council that our designer addressed in the attached designs. With the right consideration by a builder and usual documentation, we’ve had advice these are all surmountable and to be expected in inner city lots:

1. The setback requirements and obvious entrance point to the house
* The setback line is jagged along the street with the 50A carport and corner house at Mephan/Caledonian further closer to the pathway of Mephan St than the proposed design
* Our draft design doesn’t properlyshow the slope down to the front door and possible wooden archway to clearly show entrance. 
2. The sewer line and possible need for Water Corp to access sewers at back 
* This has been catered for with a one metre wide Eastern pathway access all the way to rear of the property
* The proposed concrete piles to support the structure on the Eastern edge are sufficient to protect the sewer line.  There is precedence of this piling work over the sewer with the properties at the rear, and across the road where they used the concrete piles and actually built over the same sewer line
3. At least one tree will need to be on the block
* The blood orange tree has been retained at the rear.  Room for more trees are available at the front and rear fence line 
4. The potential overshadow onto the house (duplex) at 50A. 
* The proposed Western parapet wall will cast a shadow for some of the morning reducing light into the kitchen window
* We would pre-approve this wall and possible overshadow as the owners of 50A Mephan Street in writing 
* As we still own this property we installed a lightwell that draws in a lot of light to this space 
* We would put in skylight above the kitchen/open living area at 50A Mephan Street, to ensure daylight and overshadow.
