Yesteryear Cottage on Gorgeous 2352m2 block
101 Railway Road presents astute buyers a rare opportunity to secure 2352m2 of prime real estate within easy walking distance to the vibrant Kalamunda Village. Gently sloping and bursting with lovely natives and mesmerising birdsong the property comes equipped with a charming Circa 1930's character cottage plus optional entry off Frederick Stirk Lane which opens the block to a host of future enhancing and value add opportunities.
The character cottage is charming and peppered with some lovely features you would expect in homes from this bygone era however, although very liveable in its current form, it is showing its age so be prepared to roll up the sleeves. Combine some vision with some enthusiasm and the potential here is huge where the result could be not only tantalising but potentially financially lucrative. For a cottage of this vintage, it is surprisingly large and offers two living areas including - main lounge room plus a separate kitchen, dining/family space which is semi open in design. The main bedroom is a great size and there are an additional three bedrooms plus a small study which could be utilised as 5th bedroom if required. The home has one bathroom plus an additional toilet within the under-croft laundry room. A mass of storage is available under the home plus there is an outbuilding/studio along with a detached, powered motor shed/garage with attached carport.
This desirable land parcel benefits significantly by having dual access. The main entrance is off Railway Road however there is also access on the low side of the block via Frederick Stirk Lane which provides optionality. Although not zoned for subdivision, the block would lend itself well to multiple dwellings. One option could be to build your dream home within the lower half portion of the block whilst retaining the cottage as a granny flat or ancillary dwelling (would likely require it to be reduced in size) This would be subject to all relevant authorities' approvals and conditions. Another option is to renovate using the existing cottage as the foundation for your dreamy forever home or simply buy, move in or rent out and landbank the block for the future.
