305 Railway Parade, Maylands, WA, 6051

Nestled on a low-maintenance 465sqm (approx.) block with serious potential, this charming 3 bedroom 1 bathroom character home is a rare development gem, perched just steps away from the buzzing Whatley Crescent café and restaurant precinct, as well as Meltham Train Station up the road.

It can also easily be renovated, extended and either lived in – or rented out – until you decide on what your next move will be.

The promising property is also currently zoned as “Urban” under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Medium/High Density Residential (R80) under the City of Bayswater’s Town Planning Scheme 24 (TPS24). It also falls within Special Control Area 15 (SCA15) and is part of the Mixed-Use Precinct, which comes with extra planning controls.

Multiple Dwellings (apartments) are allowed and the maximum building height is four storeys, although additional height may be considered through a Development Application. The Mixed-Use Precinct also encourages a mix of compatible uses (e.g., residential and commercial) on the same site.

The existing house itself features three large bedrooms at the front of the floor plan – inclusive of a huge master, off the entry. The separate living room is also spacious and leads directly into an open-plan dining and kitchen area – range hood, gas cooktop, separate oven/grill, ample storage, tiled splashbacks and all.

The functional laundry comprises of a separate toilet, as well as access into a practical bathroom with a shower and powder vanity. Off both the kitchen and laundry spaces sits a delightful covered outdoor patio-entertaining area. It overlooks a largely-paved backyard setting, where a side-access gate allows you to drive into a massive lock-up workshop shed – with a roller door, connecting lean-tos and scope to convert it to an over-sized garage for multiple cars.

The likes of lush green parks, more food, coffee, shopping and entertainment along vibrant Beaufort Street and multiple bus stops are only walking distance from your front door, with mere minutes separating the residence from excellent schools, shopping centres, golf courses, the river and major arterial roads – for easy access to the coast, the city, Perth Airport, our picturesque Swan Valley and beyond. A golden opportunity knocks for you here – and loudly!
