If you're looking for a first home with space, potential and a fabulous lifestyle location opposite not one, but two parks, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Set on a substantial 870sqm family-sized block, this solid seventies built brick and tile home is certainly ready for some sprucing up and modernising - but the bones are good, the block is brilliant, and there is plenty here to work with.
Directly opposite open parkland, with another one block away, the setting is ideal for young families. There's room for the kids to run, play and enjoy the outdoors, while the home itself offers generous proportions and a practical layout.
The kitchen and meals area features a gas upright stove, gas point and woodfire, while the sunken front lounge is air-conditioned. The adjoining spacious dining room could also be adapted into a fourth bedroom with the installation of stud walls and a door, giving you flexibility as your family grows.
The main bedroom is air-conditioned and two bedrooms have built-in robes. Off the laundry, an enclosed brick-walled patio with Colorbond roof offers another versatile space that could become a fantastic kids' play area, rumpus room or additional living zone.
Step outside and the property really comes into its own. The established gardens and yards provide plenty of space, while the mature fruit trees add not only shade but a wonderful sense of character - including a rare established Jackfruit tree and a huge Kensington Pride mango tree.
There's also a generous rear workshop and access through a single carport (double length) plus plenty of additional driveway parking, making this a practical home for families, hobbies and future projects.
The location completes the picture. Enjoy easy access to High Wycombe shops, the train station, Perth Airport, Perth Hills, the CBD and major highways, giving you the best of foothills living without being disconnected from the city.
There is also subdivision potential (subject to approvals) with the underlying zoning being R25/40, providing an exciting layer of future upside. But you don't need to be a developer to appreciate the opportunity here. This is about securing a big block in a great location, improving the home over time and creating something that works for your family.
The reality is, you can change the house but you can't change the block or the location.
