Perched high on the hill of Princess Road in South Doubleview, this much cherished 1960's home has been owned and occupied by the same family since 1960. Now offered for sale for the first time in 66 years, this property presents an exceptional opportunity to renovate the existing residence to your own specifications, design and build your forever home to fully capitalise on the outstanding views or invest in a large 954sqm R20 zoned landholding in this blue-chip location.
Positioned on one of Doubleview's highest points, the home enjoys sweeping, uninterrupted views across the city skyline to the Darling Ranges, among the best in the suburb. These are views you can truly cherish forever. With its elevated orientation, the home is light-filled throughout, with views and garden outlooks from all living areas.
Designed by prominent German architect, Hans Bollig, the original 1960's home retains many of its mid-century features, including the wide front verandah and floor to ceiling windows, designed to take full advantage of the sweeping views of the city skyline and Darling Scarp. When first built, the owners enjoyed a true "double view" with Rottnest Island clearly visible from the kitchen window. While the coastal view has now been obscured by vegetation, the addition of a second storey could potentially re-capture ocean views to the west.
Inside, this comfortable and surprisingly spacious home offers a versatile floorplan, with further additions in the 1980's having extended the original 3-bedroom home to 5 bedrooms, 2 living areas and 2 bathrooms. The original lounge area features a stunning Toodyay stone feature wall, expertly crafted by an Italian stonemason, who also set the precedent for neighbouring homes by using Toodyay stone for the retaining walls in the front garden.
Outside, the expansive block is surrounded by established greenery and mature trees, offering space, privacy, and flexibility.
This exceptional property sits in the midst of a fantastic neighbourhood, a short walk to Hale School, the International School of Perth, Woodlands Primary School and Holy Rosary Primary School. A short drive to picturesque Jackadder Lake and the shops and cafes of nearby Woodlands Shopping Centre, this home is also conveniently located close to Westfield Innaloo and Karrinyup Shopping Centres, Scarborough Beach, freeway entrances and Stirling Train Station.
