Set on an impressive 660 square meters with rear lane access, 26 Samson Street presents a compelling proposition for astute buyers seeking opportunity in one of Perth's most tightly held riverside suburbs and this is the first time offered since the early 1970's.
The Residence
This solid post-war home (built in 1955) retains the architectural hallmarks of its era — high ceilings, elegant picture rails, and generous room proportions that speak to a time when space was designed for comfortable living.
The main bedroom is so expansive it could easily serve dual purposes as a private sitting room or home office retreat. Built-in robes provide practical storage, while the lofty ceiling height creates an airy sense of volume rarely found in contemporary construction. Two further bedrooms maintain this appealing ceiling height, with the third bedroom offering similarly oversized proportions and the decorative detail of picture rails that hint at the home's heritage charm. A fourth bedroom positioned at the rear of the home adds versatility, ideal for guest accommodation, teenagers seeking independence, or conversion to a home studio.
The heart of the home comprises a large open-plan kitchen and dining area, flowing through to an exceptionally spacious living room. This living zone, added in what appears to be the 1970s, features warm timber floors and provides abundant space for family gathering and entertainment.
Practical amenities include a bathroom with a separate second toilet accessed via the laundry—a thoughtful configuration for busy family mornings. The generous backyard extends the living envelope outdoors, offering children's play space, gardening potential, or the canvas for a future alfresco retreat.
The Opportunity
Presented in original condition, this property invites transformation. Whether you envision a comprehensive renovation that honours the bones of this post-war charmer while introducing contemporary luxury, or prefer to start fresh with a knockdown rebuild tailored precisely to your family's needs, the foundation is here.
The 660-square-metre allotment, while just under the standard duplex threshold, holds subdivision potential subject to council approval (STCA), presenting possibilities for astute developers or families seeking to create multigenerational living solutions. Rear lane access further enhances development flexibility.
Lifestyle & Location
Mosman Park represents riverside living at its most refined. This established suburb enjoys an enviable position between the Swan River and the Indian Ocean, offering residents a lifestyle defined by natural beauty and community connection.
Families are drawn to the highly regarded Mosman Park Primary School catchment, while the suburb's café culture meters away on Wellington Street or further along on Glyde Street and Stirling Highway provides daily convenience and weekend leisure. The Mosman Park Bowls & Recreation Club anchors community life, while numerous riverside parks and foreshore reserves offer endless recreational opportunities—from morning walks along the river to weekend picnics at Cottesloe Beach, located approximately 2 kilometers west.
The suburb's connectivity is exceptional, with Mosman Park train station providing direct access to Perth CBD approximately 12 kilometers away, while Fremantle is just 6klms away. Esteemed private schools including Scotch College and Presbyterian Ladies' College, St Hilda's and Iona Presentation College, are within close proximity, adding to the suburb's family appeal.
This is your opportunity to secure a substantial landholding in a blue-chip location where renovation potential meets lifestyle possibility. Whether you're an owner-occupier ready to create your forever home, or an investor recognising the development merit (STCA), 26 Samson Street invites your vision.
