** Please note: All scenarios listed below are subject to relevant Council and Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) approvals **
• Option 1: Dual Street-Front Subdivision (Side-by-Side)
Leverage the rare dual street frontage to create two independent, street-front lots of approximately 385sqm each.
Ideal for two modern, high-spec homes with separate addresses and no shared common property or driveway.
• Option 2: "Retain and Build" Strategy
Keep the existing 1960s character home and renovate to add value while subdividing the rear portion of the block.
This allows for immediate rental income from the front residence while a second dwelling is constructed at the rear.
• Option 3: Battle-Axe Duplex Development
A traditional front-and-back subdivision layout featuring a shared driveway access.
Provides privacy for the rear residence and is a proven model for maximizing land utility in the Queens Park area.
• Option 4: The "Forever Home" Estate
Utilize the full 769sqm to build a substantial, luxury family residence.
Ample space for a sprawling floor plan, swimming pool, large workshop, or expansive landscaped gardens-a luxury rarely found in modern suburban lots.
• Option 5: Multi-Generational Living
Design a "main house and ancillary dwelling" (Granny Flat) setup.
Perfect for families looking to house multiple generations on one title while maintaining separate living quarters.

• A Rare Find in a Tight Market
As the Perth property market continues to evolve, large land holdings in quiet residential streets are becoming increasingly scarce. This is a chance to secure a significant footprint in a high-convenience pocket where "dual frontage" opportunities are rarely available. Acquiring a site of this caliber offers a strategic foothold in a suburb positioned for long-term desirability.
Location & Lifestyle Highlights:
• Retail & Dining: ~2.5km to Westfield Carousel, WA's premier shopping and entertainment precinct.
• Easy Commute: ~10km to Perth CBD and ~9km to Perth Airport-perfect for city professionals and FIFO workers.
• Education: Close proximity to St Norbert College, Queens Park Primary, and only 6km to Curtin University.
• Recreation: Moments from Cannington Leisureplex, Maniana Park, and local walking trails.
• Essential Services: Minutes from local medical centers, shops, and veterinary clinics.
With the combination of immediate rental income, dual street access, and a prime R30 land component, this property will not last.
