8 Brook Street, Bassendean WA 6054

Please join us for the GRAND OPENING of this property this Sunday, 19th October from 1pm to 1:40pm. We look forward to seeing you there.

From the moment you arrive, there is a quiet dignity about this Bassendean residence—its wide green frontage, framed by lush lawns and mature gardens, evokes a sense of permanence and promise. Behind its timeless 1970s façade lies a property with depth and opportunity, where the whispers of its past meet the possibilities of its future. Whether you dream of restoring, reinventing or exploring the property's remarkable subdivision potential (subject to Shire of Bassendean approval), this is a home that rewards vision.

A separate dual-driveway arrangement immediately sets it apart—one side guiding you to the single remote garage, the other leading through double gates to the expansive rear grounds. It's an exceptional configuration for those who appreciate space and practicality: tradies with tools to store, travellers with caravans to shelter or families needing a little extra room for life's pursuits. It is the sort of layout rarely found today, and even rarer to find so beautifully maintained.

Inside, the home unfolds with a warmth that only time can create. A broad entry hall greets guests before revealing a formal lounge defined by decorative glass doors and soft filtered light spilling through the sheers and block out curtains. There's nostalgic charm in every detail—from the original heater to the immaculate vintage carpet—yet the space feels undeniably inviting. The adjoining dining and kitchen zone has been lovingly preserved, with timber cabinetry, crisp white benchtops and overhead shelving in near-perfect condition. Plantation shutters on the sliding doors add contemporary elegance, while the split system air conditioning keeps the ambience effortlessly comfortable.

Accommodation is generous, with four bedrooms thoughtfully arranged for privacy. The main suite sits serenely to the front of the home, enriched with a sense of quiet retreat. Here, twin built-in robes conceal a cleverly integrated ensuite, hidden seamlessly behind matching cupboard doors—an inspired piece of 1970s design that feels surprisingly modern in its restraint and sophistication. The secondary bedrooms are equally comfortable, serviced by a central retro bathroom where original fittings have been cared for with respect rather than replaced.

Beyond the home, the sense of possibility truly unfolds. The enormous rear yard opens to a magnificent 10 m × 5 m (approx.) powered workshop with direct drive-in access from the street—a rare asset for artisans, mechanics, or anyone with an appetite for space and creation. Smaller sheds, established gardens and citrus trees add to the charm, while the sheer expanse of the land invites imagination: retain and build, subdivide and prosper, or simply savour the sense of freedom such scale affords.

Nestled just moments from the Swan River, Steel Blue Oval and the vibrant café culture of both Bassendean and Guildford, this home offers an enviable blend of character, convenience and opportunity. It is a property that invites you to dream, create and invest—an address of substance, soul and enduring appeal in one of Perth's most heritage-rich suburbs.
