Original Character, Endless Potential!
Welcome to 400 Bulwer Street, a solid character home occupying a generous 349sqm green title block just moments from the Perth CBD. Behind the classic facade and mosaic-tiled entry steps sits a well-proportioned 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence offering subdivision potential (subject to council approval). Whether you're a builder or developer looking to capitalise on the block's potential, a renovator keen to restore the home's original charm or a professional wanting a foothold in one of Perth's most tightly held inner-city suburbs, this property presents an outstanding opportunity.
Step through the ornately carved timber front door and into a wide central hallway, where a graceful archway and high ceilings hint at the home's character-filled bones. Leading off the hallway, the separate living and dining rooms are each generously sized, both rooms offer flexible living zones on a blank canvas, ready to be reimagined into a free-flowing open-plan design or lovingly restored to showcase their original period charm.
The hallway continues through to the rear of the home where a warm, country-style kitchen forms the heart of the house. Set out in a practical U-shaped layout with a handy breakfast bar, the kitchen features a freestanding gas stove and oven nestled into a charming tiled alcove, with a classic fireplace sitting right alongside it, making this a lovely original touch that adds warmth and character on cooler nights. The kitchen flows straight through to the adjoining family room, together forming an inviting space full of potential for a stylish modern makeover.
Back inside, the master bedroom is a generous retreat featuring high ceilings and a decorative fireplace mantle full of character. Bedroom two is just as impressive, featuring abundant natural light and spacious proportions. The home's single bathroom features a shower and vanity, with the convenience of a separate WC just off the laundry, keeping the practicalities of everyday living neatly tucked away.
In addition, a covered carport provides secure off-street parking directly from Bulwer Street, while a workshop and garden shed at the rear of the block offer excellent storage or workshop space if looking to retain. The practical layout of the home means that it would be very easy to turn the additional living space at the front into a Third Bedroom ,whilst another idea is to retain the character portion of the home and extend the kitchen and dining area to create the perfect blend of old and new.
Location is everything here and 400 Bulwer Street delivers in spades. Tucked within West Perth, you're just a few minutes from the Perth CBD, Walking distance to Beaufort Street and Highgate cafe precinct plus a short drive Mount Hawthorn and Leederville's Oxford Street boasting Boutique shopping, cafe and restaurant dining, Hyde Park, Beatty Park and the West Perth business and medical precinct including QEII Medical Centre and Royal Perth Hospital all close by. The neighbourhood is also set for an exciting lift, with a major redevelopment underway nearby at Dorrien Gardens, where the WA Italian Club and Perth Soccer Club are joining forces to create a vibrant Italian cultural precinct, complete with an Italian-style piazza, new dining and retail offerings, function spaces and upgraded sporting facilities. Backed by WA Government funding as part of the "Little Italy" precinct project, this development is set to bring even more culture, lifestyle and long-term value to the area. With excellent access to public transport and the Mitchell Freeway, this location is perfectly suited to city professionals, medical staff, and investors looking to secure your future in a BLUE CHIP suburb with endless upside and future opportunity.
