16 Haslemere Drive

So, you can see the photos, and I've got a 27-minute video walkthrough that shows you everything. Hit the EMAIL AGENT button for the link to that. I don't really think there's too much more that I can say at this point, but how about we give it a shot anyway? WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT? This is a sensational opportunity for anyone who knows how to do stuff and has a strong desire to get stuck into a project that will bring tremendous returns. Of course, there's the potential for financial return, but there's also the gift to society of returning a home that was once absolutely beautiful back to being what it was made to be. A return to it's former glory. Not everything in life needs to be brand new, and there's a real appeal to what this home once was. The floor plan gives you some idea as to the layout of the place. It was a family home for decades and it has been in the same family since 1966. By the way, I've read the comments section on properties like this that you may have seen on social media before, and some people go straight to the old "it must be drugs" line. In this case, it certainly is not. It is a family home that meant the world to the people who lived here, but health and time got away, and things just aren't as easy for everyone as it might be nice to think. So, we're not dealing with malicious damage, drug fuelled crazys, angry tenants or anything like that. There are certainly a few major things you're going to need to address. We have ceilings that need replacing in some areas. We have roof repairs that will be required in others. The building inspection offers some details on that. Cosmetically, we're going for pretty much everything here. Every wall, every floor, every ceiling, every door - it all wants something. But you're working with great size spaces and there is absolutely great potential to take this 3x1 and make it into a 4x2, potentially even a 4x3. You really just need to come at this with some vision. I'd strongly advise some vision and some cash too, because doing this on a shoestring is probably going to end up tripping you up. We have the property electrical safety certificate too, and you'll need to take care of some rewiring in parts. However, as it stands right now, we have a safety certificate to ensure you can get started on everything without a catastrophe. All of that aside, check out the location and check out the size of the block. It's 830 square metres, in walking distance of Armadale Hospital and public transport, set on one of the most sought-after streets in the area. Hazelmere Drive, back in the era where this was built, was considered the premium position in the region, with some of Armadale's more influential business and medical people calling this street home. We do have a structural report that shows what the structural issues, and you can download that when you hit the Email Agent button on this webpage. Please don't use SMS or phone call because it doesn't send all the information straight away. Email works perfectly for this one. SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Is the property habitable? A: I wouldn't recommend it right at the moment. Q: Could I rent it out as it is? A: Don't be ridiculous. Q: It looks really bad, will the owners take a lower offer? A: You think we don't know that? We just told you! It's priced like it is because it is like it is, but once you make it what it should be, it'll be priced like it could be. This is a great location and worth putting the effort into, but no, we are not going to be presenting offers below the "From" price. Q: How much is the owner looking for? A: We're looking for the best offer over $599,000. Everyone will have the opportunity to submit their best offer by 9:00am Wednesday 11 March 2026 Q: What's it worth finished off? A: We've got remarkable potential on offer here, and there is just so much to get excited about. Nice quality four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes in this area have sold in the $900,000 to $1 million range in recent times. So, it's a location worth putting the effort into. Q: Can I subdivide it? A: Zoned R15/25, the property does have subdivision potential. However, a retain-and-build subdivision would not be likely, and it would likely mean that you need to demolish the existing dwelling. In short, there is potential. However, to clarify what you could do, speak to the lovely team at the City of Armadale on 08 9394 5000 Q: Do I have to watch the whole 27-minute video to see what it's about? A: Goodness no! It just gives you a good, slow walkthrough chance to have a look at things without the pressure of a whole lot of people at the home open. Q: Will all the stuff go? A: It's as-is where-is with all stuff... some of the sentimental stuff will be gone, a lot of it won't be. So be ready for that. WHAT NEXT Use the Email Agent button rather than call or text because there's a whole lot of information we can send you that way that's going to answer the vast majority of your questions. We are not presenting any offers until after the viewings, and offers will be presented Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
