There is something instantly appealing about a classic 60s built red brick Coolbellup home and 8 Friar John Way captures it beautifully. Positioned behind a white picket fence and established gardens, this much loved three bedroom home combines the warmth and character of its era with a huge backyard and exciting possibilities for the future.
From the street, the picture is quintessential Cooby Cottage, with mature trees, traditional red brickwork, tiled roof and colourful gardens creating a welcoming first impression. Step inside and the character continues, with beautiful polished timber floorboards, light filled interiors and the uncomplicated proportions that make these classic sixties homes so enduringly popular.
The living room is warm and inviting, with timber floors, large windows and a relaxed feel, while the kitchen and dining area retains a touch of retro appeal with its striking black and white flooring. The three bedrooms continue the home's character, making this a comfortable proposition for first home buyers, young families or anyone looking for a home they can further enhance over time.
Outside, however, is where this property really comes into its own. The huge backyard provides the kind of space that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Expansive lawns are surrounded by established gardens and mature greenery, providing plenty of room for children and pets while creating a wonderful sense of openness and privacy.
A substantial paved and covered outdoor entertaining area stretches across the rear of the home, offering loads of room for summer barbecues, family gatherings or simply sitting back and enjoying the garden. There is also a long driveway, covered parking and excellent access alongside the home.
For buyers looking beyond the immediate lifestyle appeal, the R60 zoning adds another dimension to this already impressive property. The positioning of the existing residence may provide an opportunity to retain the character home while subdividing and developing the balance of the land, subject to all necessary planning, servicing and authority approvals.
Importantly, this is far more than simply a development proposition. The existing home has genuine personality, and the combination of red brick sixties charm, polished floorboards, established gardens, white picket fence and an enormous backyard delivers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.
