Doubleview is blessed with an elevated position and proximity to what are arguably some of the world’s best beaches. Its enduring appeal is unsurprising given that the tree-lined streets and established neighbourhoods create the perfect backdrop for modern living.

This substantial 852 square metre block, zoned R30 with rear laneway access and generous frontage, presents a rare dual opportunity. The existing 1958 brick and tile home stands as a testament to an era when homes were built with character and substance – a three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence that has patiently waited for someone with vision to unlock its potential.

For the restoration enthusiast, this property offers a treasure trove of original features that modern homes lack under the carpet. Rich Jarrah floors stretch throughout, their warm tones waiting to be restored to their former glory. Large, original windows flood the interior with natural light, whilst wide internal doorways create seamless flow between the formal lounge and dining room. Decorative cornices and high ceilings evoke an era when craftsmanship was paramount, and every detail contributed to a home's unique character.

The original kitchen layout and fittings provide a blank canvas for contemporary interpretation, whilst the family bathroom – complete with its charming pink and grey terrazzo floor and deep pink bathtub – offers a delightful glimpse into 1950s design sensibilities. A sunroom spans the rear of the building, creating the perfect transitional space between indoor comfort and outdoor living, overlooking the expansive backyard where mature trees provide natural privacy and shade.

For the development-minded investor, this property's value lies in its exceptional subdivision potential (STA). The R30 zoning, combined with rear laneway access and coveted wide frontage, creates the ideal scenario for a sophisticated dual-dwelling development.

Whether you're drawn to the romance of restoration or the promise of development returns, this property offers something increasingly rare in Perth's northern suburbs – genuine choice, substantial land, and a location that continues to reward those wise enough to invest in Doubleview's enduring appeal.
