45 Watkins Street

White Gum Valley WA 6162

First, the original home: a 1950s gem featuring one bedroom, one bathroom (with a separate toilet) and plenty of character throughout. Beyond the gabion fence, a sun-soaked garden setting welcomes you in via the north-facing porch.

Inside, jarrah floors flow to a sunlit living area with an old fireplace and big picture window framing the outdoor greenery. An archway leads to the simple white kitchen with a freestanding cooker, while the bedroom, bathroom and toilet extend beyond the laundry - flowing outdoors to a completely private, vine-covered alfresco.

Heading to the rear, the scope and size of this block truly come into play - overlooked by a modern two-storey family home, crafted by Solar Dwellings in 2013. Solar-passive principles define the build, making the most of the northern orientation and cross-flow of breezes that roll through.

Plenty of blank canvas space invites the imagination, with a small storage shed, firepit and separate work zone for pottering on projects, while the home itself is perfect for multi-generational living, thanks to its clever configuration.

Downstairs, earthy tiles keep the home cool in summer, while the northern sun keeps it warm in winter, as expansive open-plan living and dining flows outdoors. The kitchen includes a gas stovetop, electric oven and dishwasher, with the laundry behind. Extensive storage lines the hallway, with a separate toilet leading to a ground-floor master retreat: carpet, ceiling fan, walk-in robe and dual-shower ensuite.

Upstairs is even more: two carpeted bedrooms with mirrored robes, a generous bathroom, small kitchenette off another sunlit living area, and a fourth bedroom, or ideal study, behind double doors. A double lock-up garage with internal access and ceiling fans across both levels complete the picture.

There's so much to consider here: two homes, one rare original-sized 1,096m2 block, subdividable potential (STCA), and the freedom to decide what comes next.
