103 Hamilton Street

Cannington WA 6107

There is a lot to like about this modern street-front home. Positioned at the front of a small group of just three homes, it feels much more like an easy-care house than a typical villa. You have your own street presence, a generous 296sqm lot, a double garage and a north-facing front courtyard that gives the home useful outdoor space without creating a lot of work. The convenient central location makes everyday life easy, with Cannington Station, Westfield Carousel, Cannington Leisureplex and local schools all nearby, together with straightforward access into the city. For buyers wanting their own place without taking on a large block, or those typically constrained by budget to apartments and villas in bigger developments, this offers a particularly appealing middle ground.

Inside, the layout is comfortable, practical and easy to live in. The tiled open-plan living area brings the kitchen, dining and lounge together in one central space, with the kitchen providing plenty of bench and cupboard space along with quality appliances. There is ample room here to live comfortably rather than feeling as though everything has been squeezed in, and the simple layout should work equally well for one person, a couple or a small family. The main bedroom has its own ensuite and fitted built-in robe, while the remaining bedrooms also include fitted robes, giving the home good everyday storage. New carpets and light fittings have freshened the presentation, while ducted evaporative cooling takes care of the warmer months. There is also a private rear courtyard, and the double garage has an automatic door and direct internal entry, adding another layer of convenience and security when coming and going.

What makes the home particularly appealing is the balance it strikes. It is manageable without feeling too small, private without being isolated and low maintenance without requiring you to give up the things that make a home comfortable. There are no strata levies, which adds to the sense of independence and keeps ongoing ownership straightforward, while the street-front position and two separate outdoor areas help distinguish it from the larger unit and apartment developments commonly considered by buyers in this part of the market. It is an easy fit for first-home buyers wanting something they can settle into for a number of years, downsizers who still want their own space and garage, or FIFO and country buyers looking for a secure and convenient Perth base. Investors should also appreciate the combination of low-maintenance ownership, convenient location and an estimated rental return of around $750 to $775 per week. Above all, it is a home that offers a little more space, privacy and independence than the word 'villa' might initially suggest.
