Country feel with city convenience. Locals know the home as ‘The Bike Shop’ and many will remember it as the home of famous WA motor racing champion, Wally Higgs, one of the all time greats of the Claremont Speedway.
One of only two allotments on the ocean side of Mary Street, this rare property is adjacent to crown land and is perfectly positoned to reap the benefits of the anticipated rezoning once the Mandurah Foreshore Focus 2020 plan is finalised and implemented. You are only a 3-4 minute stroll to the safe swimming Doddi’s Beach and the outlook from the home gives you a feeling of being in the country, when in fact you are just a 5 minute drive to Mandurah Central.
The character filled and spacious existing two bedroom, two bathroom cottage has a huge living area with soaring ceilings. A door from the lounge leads to a large games/utility room with enough space to house a full size billiard table and more! The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom which leads through to a good sized dressing room. The second bedroom leads off the lounge. A sunroom to the north of the home is the place to be in the winter time and the owners have many happy memories of family gatherings there.
Outside there is a double carport and good sized shed where Wally fixed his bikes. An ancient mulberry tree and a couple of old windmills add to an already character-filled property.
The cottage would benefit from some renovation to enable family holiday use or a popular holiday rental while you await the rezoning. Alternatively, you could build a substantial 2-storey home to take in the substantial views.
