Whether you're looking to renovate, restore her charm, or explore the development potential (subject to West Australian planning approval), this property offers a rare combination of space, versatility and opportunity. The home carries all the hallmarks of its era high ceilings, jarrah floorboards, stained glass touches and a cosy lounge warmed by a cast iron wood heater with a stone surround. Offering two bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate laundry and a classic front verandah, there's plenty of original character to appreciate and a thoughtful renovation or modern update will offer the opportunity to enhance its timeless appeal and value.
