Stone's Throw to the Beach

Nestled among some of the most exclusive multi-million dollar homes in City Beach is an opportunity that only arises once in a blue moon, it's the perfectly positioned 1970s palace at 28 Bent Street. Within a stone's throw of several coastal redevelopments, some of WA's best schools and countless social options, it's easy to see why this location has been incredibly sought after by Perth families in recent years. This sizeable 847sqm property is perfectly level and sits in a North - South orientation, making it an architect's dream, allowing them to utilise the vast spaces and cleverly maximise natural light and crossflow. Ideal for a growing family and with very strong bones for the construction of your dream home, the existing five bedroom, two bathroom floor plan can be modernised or fully renovated. With council approval already in place to add a second storey and totally transform the property, the next lucky occupants can take full advantage of views across the Indian Ocean out to Rottnest Island. Having been meticulously maintained and updated throughout its life, this golden opportunity has all the modern conveniences a busy family needs until the time comes to make your mark on the neighbourhood with your own architectural masterpiece.

Set up like the traditional Australian home, this property will incite a sense of familiarity as soon as you enter. A formal lounge and dining room with large windows allows for phenomenal amounts of natural light to flood the area, couple this with high raked ceilings with rustic timber beams and you have an airy, comfortable space ideal for entertaining or relaxing on a Sunday afternoon watching the cricket.

A classic wraparound kitchen offers all the modern amenities one needs to feed a hungry family, including a deep double sink, dishwasher, gas cooking and ample bench and storage space. The well-appointed kitchen overlooks what no traditional home could go without, the pool room. With built-in TV cabinetry this space can either accommodate a family of expert billiard players or be utilised as another comfortable sitting area if the parents and kids want to watch different programs. This homely space feeds onto an expansive alfresco and pool area that is perfect for a BBQ with friends and family while the sea breeze rolls in. With your backyard's lavish tiling, water feature, landscaping and grassed areas, you always have the option of swimming in the pool or at the beach right across the road. Even in its current old school state this home was made for entertaining.

There are five bedrooms in total. The four generous secondary bedrooms are well-appointed with extensive built-in wardrobes and storage, sharing a decent sized bathroom with everything a family requires. Any of these bedrooms can easily be utilised as a study or rumpus room if need be. The master suite boasts walk-in robes and an updated ensuite to ensure Mum and Dad are comfortable after a long day at work or frolicking in the ocean next door.

A rare opportunity to secure a phenomenal seaside spot in a blue chip location, a home with sturdy bones and the option to live in as is, reside and renovate later, or undergo a full coastal transformation. Why spend the next year dragging the family to display home after display home when you can build your architecturally designed dream palace right here? Just launched onto the market, this classic coastal property is one of the last of its kind, and a lot of buyers will be bending over backwards to get into 28 Bent Street.
