255 Ravenscar Street, Doubleview WA 6018

Old meets new in this throwback to traditional Australian living, this renovated three bedroom cottage on a large 645sqm subdividable block is the ideal home for investors, small families, downsizers or young professionals that want to be amongst the action. Freshened up and ready, 255 Ravenscar Street is a prime opportunity that won’t last long.

With significant developments underway in Karrinyup and Innaloo Shopping Centres, plus huge things happening at Scarborough Beach, Doubleview has been the “go-to” place for people wanting to stay close to the CBD, the coast, with plenty of opportunity for growth.

As you walk up the driveway you’ll feel a sense homeliness that you don’t get with a lot of new developments, step on to a huge decked front verandah that’s great for entertaining guests or watching the world go by. A classic entry foyer with new timber floors sets the rustic tone as soon as you enter. Your vast open plan living and dining space flaunts a traditional fireplace, opening on to the front porch for seamless entertaining and a great sea breeze crossflow.

A very tidy renovated kitchen has far more storage and bench space than you’d expect in a cute mid-century cottage, boasting modern cabinetry and appliances, a double sink, and a groovy metallic splashback. Tucked to the side is the sunroom, great for use as a studio, chill out zone or a space-efficient home office.

Your expansive backyard is just as impressive as the front, with a quaint alfresco, decking, gazebo, plenty of grass for kids and pets, a veggie patch and a full workshop. This outdoor space has access to a rear laneway, allowing you to make a killing with a subdivision later down the track when the kids are no longer playing outside.

The master suite is enormous, with high ceilings, private alfresco and backyard access, and a sitting area for the King and Queen to enjoy in privacy after a long day. Two more minor bedrooms have all the rustic charm you’d expect in a retro home, with high ceilings, plenty of natural light and one even boasting modern built-in robes. A central and groovy green bathroom has everything required to stay squeaky clean, including modern cabinetry and a deep bath.

A renovated cottage with all the creature comforts the modern family, young professionals or downsizers require, with phenomenal scope for development if you’re investment minded. Only a short drive to the CBD, surrounded by new development, and up the road from the beach. Meticulously maintained and updated by the owners, and ready for the next lucky occupants to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Your friends and family will be raving over 255 Ravenscar.
