Geographe has undergone quite a revival over the last few years, with walk-to-the-beach homes on big blocks becoming highly sought after and increasingly scarce.
This one at 23 Anthony Road is just 450m from the bay, 300m from the local primary school and 400m from the IGA, bottle shop, chemist and Vietnamese lunch bar.
Better still, it's in a very quiet street used only by locals and those in the adjoining cul-de-sac. The nearby Busselton Beach Resort Café is expected to open this year and is sure to become a local favourite.
Built in 1989, this solid brick and tile 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home sits on a large 801sqm corner block with gated side access to the rear - ideal for a boat or caravan. Plenty of room too for a dog or two among an expansive lawn and range of fruit trees. The southern side of the home has been created into a permaculture veggie garden.
Inside the home, the front lounge offers views over the front lawn and garden. All three bedrooms have built-in robes and ceiling fans. The bathroom includes a tub, vanity, shower and separate toilet. The functional laundry comes with a linen cupboard and door access to the drying area outside.
The kitchen/dining area comes with electric oven and cooktop, pantry, breakfast bar, double-fridge space and dishwasher. This zone is climate controlled by a reverse cycle, split system air-con, but there is also a central wood-fire stove for those chilly winter days.
A spacious and lush- lawned backyard provides shade from mature Peppermint trees, while solar panels on roofline, and a heat-pump hot water system help soften those energy bills.
The backyard is fully fenced and includes shed area with roller door, and a carport that can accommodate one vehicle up the concrete driveway. There is also a paved undercover patio which opens into the living area.
The yard has a bore with a pump and has been very helpful in nurturing the existing pomegranate, mulberry, banana, tamarillo, lemon, lime quince and fig trees.
This location is just 4.5kms from central Busselton and the jetty foreshore, with its array of shops, cafes, restaurants and medical facilities. The Port Geographe Marina Deck Bar and Restaurant is just a 5-minute drive around the canals.
As this much-loved home passes to the next generation of owners, don't miss this great opportunity to move into Geographe.
This sturdy home has 'good bones', is in a great location and friendly neighbourhood. It is ideal for first homebuyers and retirees wanting to live by the beach. It would also make a superb holiday home, FIFO pad, and sound long-term investment with solid rental return.
