Character homes like this do not stay on the market for very long. The retro appeal of this solid 70′s family home is undeniable, which with some personal decorating touches will come up a treat.

Built in the 70′s by a well regarded Margaret River builder, this house is solid and strong, with 4 large bedrooms, a modernised main bathroom and a second bathroom/laundry to accommodate the teenagers or guests. A massive games room and enclosed sleepout provided masses of space for a large family home.

The raised front portico of this brick veneer home opens into a spacious entrance, which in turn leads into a fabulous ‘front room’, with a large bay window streaming in morning sun.

The funky kitchen/diner is solid and functional, and could be easily tweaked be a real retro show-stopper.

All the hard (and expensive) work has been done in the bathroom, which offers a corner spa, separate shower and masses of vanity space.

Rip up the carpets to discover what lies beneath, maybe add some French doors off the main living – the jarrah doorframes and well proportioned rooms will complement any enhancements you make.

The massive 1145m2 offers loads of space, and is only a very, very short walk to the town centre of Margaret River, yet only a short stroll to a towering Karri forest that leads you directly to the Margaret River and State Forest beyond.

Work with this home – not against it and it will provide you with a wonderful family home with the warmth and charm of our recent past, and an excellent investment in the future.
