Sitting at the perfect junction of history and possibility, the potential of this exceptionally rare sprawling 1,644m2 block, with R25 zoning and a mid-century gem, largely untouched for over seven decades and held by a single owner, all in a dream Valley position, is simply extraordinary.
Surrounded by streetscapes where character homes meet bold modern design, the setting alone invites imagination - renovate, extend, subdivide or craft something entirely new (STCA), with scope to create a thoughtfully designed multi-generational development that brings family living together while retaining space, privacy, and flexibility. Directly opposite White Gum Valley Primary, where you can wave the kids off to school from your front doorstep, parks, farmers markets, cafes, beaches, and the vibrant buzz of Freo are all nearby.
Flourishing gardens cocoon the front and rear, flowing north to south, with a long driveway down the side for parking multiple vehicles - including a boat or caravan. A traditional porch introduces the home's era, leading to jarrah floors, high ceilings, and decorative ceiling roses inside, while a formal living room with a classic fireplace enjoys the garden outlook. Character details continue down the hall to three bedrooms, including one with full-height robes, each sharing a skylit bathroom in true retro style - matching green vanity, bath, shower, and all.
The laundry houses a separate toilet, with access to the rear sleepout, formerly the back veranda before a makeover in the 70s added a fourth bedroom and storeroom to this space. Nearby, the simple kitchen completes the interior: curved cabinetry, double-hung sash windows framing more greenery, and a nostalgic wood-fired stove next to a freestanding Chef oven.
Outside, the vast size of this block seems to unfold forever: rambling gardens filled with a variety of plants and trees - yuccas, natives, loquat, and more, including an overflowing pomegranate that attracts the local birdlife. Paved areas span the grounds for outdoor enjoyment, with the bonus of a rainwater tank alongside a traditional hills hoist that nods to the home's past. An old chookrun, garage and shed add practicality - ideal for storage, tinkering away on home handyman projects, or undercover parking.
Right in the heart of the Valley, woth a north facing backyard, this is a once-in-a-generation landholding that rarely comes to market - move in, make your mark, or reimagine the future.
