There's buying a house, and then there's buying a house with a bit more to it than just the basic function of providing accommodation. This one gives you a neat three-bedroom home, a 707sqm corner block and some very interesting possibilities sitting out the back…I'll just tell you. Subdivision potential on a corner block!
You can move in, enjoy the space and keep it all as a backyard. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having room for a shed, a lawn, a lemon tree and somewhere to spread out. But if you're looking at that land and thinking there might be another opportunity here, you're certainly looking in the right place.
A previous subdivision approval has lapsed because old mate down at the Department of Government decisions puts a fairly short time frame on the approvals these days, but the corner position offers potential worth investigating for retaining the existing home and creating a separate lot with access from Champion Drive. Any new subdivision would require fresh approval. For now, you've got a very usable property with options to explore.
LIVING HERE
The house is a practical, comfortable design with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a good-sized main living area. There's a proper entrance, so you don't step straight from the front door into the lounge, and the bedroom passage can be closed off from the living space.
The kitchen has been well thought through, with an electric oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and plenty of storage, including overhead cupboards. It's an easy space to work with.
The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and room for a queen or king-size bed. Roller shutters feature on the main bedroom, bedroom three and lounge room windows, and there are no carpets through the home.
The bathroom has a separate shower and bath, with floor-to-ceiling tiling. There's also a separate toilet and a laundry with storage.
It's being sold on an as-is, where-is basis. There's some wear and water damage to sections of the floating flooring, so there are things you may choose to freshen up. It's an honest opportunity to buy an established home and make your own decisions about what comes next.
OUTSIDE
There's a big enclosed patio across the back of the house, plus another thumping big outdoor patio beyond that. That's a whole lot of space for sitting, entertaining or finding somewhere to put the things that somehow accumulate when you own a house.
The enclosed patio is a protected outdoor area rather than a fully weatherproof additional living room. There's storage at the end, a shed in the backyard, lawn, a lemon tree and plenty of room to use the block as it stands.
The carport has an automatic roller door, and the home also has a gas instantaneous hot water system.
THE POTENTIAL
The previous subdivision approval contemplated retaining the home and creating another lot alongside it, with approximately 350sqm for each portion. Those areas are indicative only, and the previous approval is no longer current. It's zoned R15/25 so speak to the good folks at the City of Armadale to get some clarification on what can be done.
The corner position and potential separate access from Champion Drive make this an opportunity worth discussing. Of course, you should confirm current requirements, access arrangements, costs and the approvals needed for any plans.
Whether you want the whole backyard or want to investigate what else it could become, there's plenty to work with here.
