Overview
Rare Mid-Century Dual-Residence
Positioned on a sprawling 1040sqm R40-zoned block in one of Maylands' most connected and character-filled pockets, this remarkable property offers much more than just a home. It presents an opportunity rich with history, flexibility, and future potential.
Behind lush, established gardens and a magnificent mature frangipani tree stands a beautifully preserved 1950s residence filled with warmth and nostalgia. The main home showcases soaring high ceilings, original art deco light fittings, ornate ceiling details, timber floorboards, and a charming fireplace, capturing the elegance of a bygone era while providing modern comforts throughout.
The larger residence includes two generous bedrooms plus a versatile third room that can serve as a nursery, study, dressing room, or creative studio. Multiple living spaces offer exceptional flexibility for families, entertainers, or those working from home. These include a welcoming lounge with a fireplace, a timber bar area that could easily be transformed into a sunroom or library, and a newly renovated kitchen equipped with brand-new appliances, a dishwasher, and a 900mm oven.
Adding to the property's versatility is a fully self-contained second residence. This private two-storey home features two bedrooms and one bathroom, with its own separate entry, driveway, and individually metered power, gas, and water. This space is ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, guest accommodation, Airbnb potential, or a dedicated home business.
Upstairs, the second home opens onto a spacious balcony perfect for entertaining or enjoying peaceful evenings overlooking the gardens.
For developers and investors, the R40 zoning and substantial landholding present exciting future prospects, including potential redevelopment or subdivision, subject to relevant approvals. Options include retaining the charming original home and building at the rear, leasing one residence while living in the other, or exploring broader development opportunities on the site.
All this is situated in an exceptional Maylands location, just moments from the Coles shopping precinct, train station, Eighth Avenue café strip, bus routes to the Perth CBD, and the picturesque Swan River walking and cycling paths.
Properties offering this much character, flexibility, and future value are exceptionally rare.
