81 BOUNDARY ROAD, ST JAMES
2 bed x 1 bath with a large rear annex/sleepout!
This 1950s character built home enters the market for the very first time, lovingly owned and looked after by its original family for over 70 years! 81 Boundary Street is an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer, whether you’re searching for the perfect first home, a strong investment opportunity, or an exciting renovation project that requires only the final touches, this property is the one.
The fully fenced front yard offers both space and security for a growing family (be it children or pets), manicured lawns and gardens that have been tended too meticulously over the years stand proud (with one of the finest frangipanis I’ve seen to date), welcoming you in through gate. The property has a powered garage with ample space for two vehicles as well as a paved driveway on the opposite side of the property that leads to a cleared pad – perfect for boat or caravan storage. The pad sits in behind two large, lockable, colourbond gates to further secure your prized possession or you could opt (as the current owner had considered), to place a granny flat on the space for an additional income STAC.
Walking up the entrance stairs and across the elevated patio we are greeted with a residence that was originally a 2×1, which has been extended to create an additional room. The high ceilings and jarrah floors that were so common for the era, promise an exceptional finish for the next owner. A recently renovated kitchen sits at the heart of the property and faces the front loungeroom which is equipped with a fireplace and a beautiful view over the front yard.
The main bedroom, is fitted with a large, mirrored wardrobe and the charming wallpaper beautifully adds to the character of the home, it will be interesting to see if it remains, with another of the bedrooms sitting beside the main to complete that end of the home, they are accompanied by a small study nook that has been neatly installed to nestle behind the open front door.
Continuing through the kitchen we see another recent renovation in the bathroom, finished in crisp, neutral colours and white tiling with a massive shower and quality finishings. It covers the other major cost when it comes to renovating these properties and means that the new owner isn’t having to spend their hard earned money on a new bathroom!
The original laundry follows however this has been opened up and now leads down into the extension which was designed and used as a 3rd bedroom however can quite easily be utility space for the needs of your family.
Through the rear door and into the backyard the property really sets itself apart, the entertaining are faces and elevated grassed area which is bordered by garden beds. To the right we have access to the cleared slab area through lockable gates, further to the rear of the block there is a hidden storage shed and standing proudly to the left of the backyard is 3-phase powered, air-conditioned double garage/workspace!
I’ve seen plenty of workshops on properties and this one would be at home on an acreage property let alone in the heart of St James! This combined with the storage area for a caravan or boat really sets this property apart from anything else on the current or recent market. When I was first given the tour of the property it was this garage that I was most impressed with as it has been utilised for years in the repair and building of motorbikes, so the cleanliness and attention to detail that has gone into the planning and building of the workspace can only really be described as… impressive.
The double garage opens on to the carport which as I stated in the beginning of the description is well and truly capable of housing two or even three vehicles, as we approach the garage door you will see a solar inverter as the property is fitted with an impressive solar system and further on you’ll notice a rain water tank, again nestled, neatly in-behind the front wall of garage.
With the property covered, allow me to l go on about the other positives of the property…
Location?
It couldn’t be better!
With Houghton Reserve a 2 minute walk of 150 metres away, the dog-friendly Rotary Park 450 metres away, and the massive Higgins Park less than a 10 minute walk up Clinton Avenue there are plenty of options to enjoy the natural spaces of the suburb.
Add to that the abundance of facilities that are an arms throw away from your doorstep such as the Vic Park Cafe Strip, Curtain University, Waterford Plaza and the extremely popular and family friendly Collier Park Public Golf Course and it’s easy to see why property in the area rarely remains on the market for too long.
