Set back from the street behind a classic picket fence, this 400sqm survey-strata street-front home offers privacy, space and exciting future potential. Nestled within a leafy garden setting, this original 1960s brick-and-tile character residence presents a blank canvas - ideal for renovators, creatives and forward-thinking buyers ready to transform something truly special.
Whether you're planning to renovate and extend, land-bank for future development under the desirable R80 zoning, or secure now, design and build your dream home in years to come, this property offers a value-adding opportunity in an ever-tightening Perth property market - especially within a suburb located approximately 8km from the Perth CBD.
The home comprises three bedrooms, one bathroom with a separate toilet, along with dedicated living, dining and kitchen spaces. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the warmth and character, highlighted by timber flooring, high ceilings, decorative cornices and a functional layout brimming with potential. With thoughtful updates, the home could be reimagined into a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, complemented by a modernised bathroom and seamless indoor–outdoor flow - while still preserving its original charm. The possibilities are truly endless.
Outdoors, the expansive wrap-around yard provides a playground for creativity. Whether you envision an entertainer's haven, a lush garden retreat or a family-friendly oasis, there's ample space to bring your ideas to life. A mature tree in the front yard even presents the whimsical potential for a future treehouse - sure to delight young families.
With the upcoming Bentley Redevelopment Project set to revitalise the surrounding area into a vibrant, well-connected community, and the median house value in St James currently sitting around $970,000, this suburb is primed for continued growth.
