Rarely does a property arrive that blends timeless character with tomorrow's rewards quite like this enchanting late-1950s gem, where a cosy 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home sits proudly on a generous parcel of land boasting the ultimate developer advantage - DA approval for a triplex development, complete with building plans already prepared for each future lot. Skip the uncertainty, fast-track your vision and capitalise on an opportunity that's ready to spring into action. The existing residence exudes warmth and charm, making it perfectly comfortable to live in, rent out or hold while planning your next move. For those with an eye for value, there is also exciting scope to retain the current house and build behind (subject to relevant requirements), creating multiple possibilities to suit a wide range of buyers and investors. Of course, the headline act is the approved triplex-subdivision potential. With the development application already secured and plans in place, much of the groundwork has already been done, allowing you to focus on bringing an exciting multi-dwelling project to life with confidence and convenience. Alternatively, if your ambition is something more personal, clear the site and create that spectacular family home you've always imagined on a substantial block in a location destined for long-term growth. Whether you're a seasoned developer, savvy investor, land banker or dream-home builder, this is a property where today's character meets tomorrow's opportunity. For now though, a welcoming front living room is more than comfortable in its proportions and sits just beyond the entry verandah. Spacious master and second bedrooms occupy the opposite side of the foyer, whilst an open-plan dining and kitchen area keeps meals and conversation separate. A central bathroom/laundry wet area makes the most of both the floor and wall space on offer, playing host to a bathtub with a showerhead, a toilet, a wash trough and a separate powder vanity. At the rear, a functional activity room doubles personal options and leads into a versatile study, "sleep out" or third-bedroom option. It also extends out to a huge sunken outdoor patio-entertaining area, with access to a separate external toilet and adjacent second laundry. The enormous backyard is very much a clean slate with a single lock-up garage behind a roller door - and an attached side storeroom that is just as deep. Lush green Hillcrest Reserve and Hillcrest Primary School are only walking distance away around the corner, as are playgrounds for the kids, bus stops, the new Bayswater Train Station, the new Bayswater Hotel, Chisholm Catholic College, John Forrest Secondary College and a host of bars, cafes and restaurants. There are plenty of other schools in the area too, with Embleton Golf Course, the soon-to-be-redeveloped Galleria Shopping Centre and major arterial roads - for effortless access to the coast, Perth Airport, the city, our beautiful Swan Valley and beyond - all situated only minutes away in their own right.
