Overview

1950s Cottage on 923sqm Block with Workshop

Full of character and sitting proudly on a generous 923sqm R40 zoned block, this circa 1950s cottage is ready for its next chapter. 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. A well-appointed kitchen features a large stainless steel stove, and the adjoining dining room creates an inviting space for dinner parties and family gatherings close enough to chat with the cook yet separate enough to enjoy the occasion.
