Nestled within a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac setting on the Wembley Downs border and wrapped in leafy charm at the same time, this original – yet solid – 3 bedroom 1 bathroom character residence has been a warm and welcoming family home for decades, is in excellent condition boasting a new roof and is also bursting with untapped potential.
With R30 zoning attached to the generous 794sqm (approx.) block it so comfortably sits on, it's the kind of opportunity that doesn't knock — it practically kicks down the door. Whether you're dreaming of a savvy redevelopment, a modern makeover or simply land-banking for the future, this is the type of “blank canvas” where big visions come to life. A desirable coastal lifestyle beckons here, so close to City Beach, Floreat Beach and the revitalised Scarborough Beach esplanade, with beautiful Butlers Reserve and fantastic community sporting facilities situated just around the corner. Also nearby are excellent schools (including Wembley Downs Primary School, Churchlands Senior High School, Hale School, Newman College and St Mary's Anglican Girls' School), shopping centres at The Downs and new-look Karrinyup, day-care and early-learning facilities, public transport and a host of trendy cafes and restaurants – namely the popular local hubs on Doric Street and Calais Road. With endless possibilities comes unrivalled convenience – and a property full of promise and grand plans for you and your loved ones!
