100 Hillman St, Spencer Park WA 6330, Australia
A central location is one of the advantages of this solidly constructed double brick and tile home in Spencer Park, yet it’s only the start of a long list of them.
Within five minutes’ drive of this property, you could be in York Street, at the beach, at the health campus or dropping the kids off at school – if they’re too young to walk or cycle the 2km.
At the cul-de-sac end of the road, the home occupies an elevated 911sqm block, from where it takes in far-reaching views over nearby sports fields and town to Mts Melville and Clarence.
Beyond the front lawn and easy-care gardens of succulents and natives, a driveway leads past the house to a big double garage-workshop with power connected and plenty of space for benches and storage shelving in addition to two vehicles.
The house is neat and tidy and has been well maintained since its 1970s beginnings.
At the front is the comfortable lounge, a sizeable room with gas heating. This has a big picture window and shares the view with the air-conditioned master bedroom, a double with a wall of built-in robes.
The good-sized kitchen and dining area are at the back, where glass doors open onto a sheltered paved patio, a lovely, private area for summer living.
Another two bedrooms – one double; one good-sized single – as well as the bathroom, separate toilet and laundry, are at the opposite end of the house.
Although the kitchen and bathroom are dated, they are clean and serviceable, presenting options for renovation within a modest budget, or for leaving just as they are if the property is used as a rental.
Good carpets in the bedrooms and lounge, vinyl in the kitchen and dining area and neutral décor finish off the interior.
In the back yard, there’s plenty of extra parking in addition to the shed, and for green-thumbed owners, a series of raised garden beds are ready for planting veggies and herbs.
