SOLD BY LAURI CURTAIN and NICK FRENCH, C&CO REAL ESTATE!
This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire not only a highly sought after, solid 1960s home with all its period features intact, but also a block zoned R20/R25 that could provide the investment potential of two additional blocks (STCA.) If you're not ready to develop, this property includes a garden of very rare proportions, which is bore-reticulated and perfect for a self-sufficient lifestyle.
On a 1217sqm lot, this home has been in the same family since it was built. It has been immaculately cared for, and is a shining example of Mid-Century architecture. Set on limestone pillow-foundations, the house has two entrances. The main entrance leads into the central hallway, while the second leads into the dining room, which is long and wide, and could easily provide an office fronting Carrington Street, giving you the perfect work-from-home location.
The main entry hall leads to the front lounge with its original brick fireplace, and on to three good-sized bedrooms, all with large picture windows. The bathroom is conveniently positioned close by and is a delightful example of the funky colours and cabinetry of the 1960s. The kitchen has been updated in later years, and now houses a large range cooker with gas cooktop and electric oven. It's a practical kitchen with plenty of bench space and overhead storage, and a family dining table fits in very comfortably.
There's a separate toilet and laundry, and a large, outdoor entertaining space. There's also potential for a 4th bedroom, an office or storage room. There's still more potential with a 3-car brick garage and workshop with its own bathroom and stove, making it perfect for a granny flat conversion.
The back garden was once a thriving vegetable plot, and full bore-reticulation is still intact. All it needs is a green thumb! The laws and garden beds are also watered by the bore, which operates on 4 separate zones.
This location provides easy access to all the main routes, and quick access into Fremantle Central. Transport, schools and parks are all nearby but, more importantly, you'll be around the corner from the wonderful Gilbert Fresh market, Charlie's café, and a stone's throw from a drive-through coffee at Rubra!
Whether you want a market garden, a big, lush oasis for the kids, a development site, an investment opportunity, or just the chance to renovate one of these 1960s gems, you'll find it all at 170 Carrington Street, Hilton!
