202 Burniston Street, Scarborough WA 6019

A brilliant opportunity at 202 Burniston Street, this well positioned property on a sizeable 690sqm duplex block is a great development prospect in the booming Scarborough precinct, surrounded by extensive ongoing development.

With new high-density zoning laws bringing younger buyers to gentrify the area, over $100M spent on the new Scarborough Beach Master Plan, and the $450M Twin Towers just approved for commencement a couple of weeks ago, the future of Scarborough is looking lucrative, and this property is perfectly positioned. More bars, cafes and restaurants popping up, with great schools and lifestyle amenities like local sports and surf clubs, and plenty of grassy parks. Whether you’re downsizing, a young couple, savvy investor or family seeking a friendly and convenient community, this area is for you.

With a sealed rear laneway you have options. You could retain and renovate the existing character home, subdividing the rear to build a new, extra private second home behind. Another option would be to start fresh and build two new properties, renting one while you live in the other, or selling one to be mortgage free in your brand new home. Or if you’re sentimental, create an estate with a regal character home as the bones to get started.

While the development potential is phenomenal, the existing home is a comfortable place to reside too. Your front veranda has plenty of space to sit and watch the world go by, and warm timber floors remind you this is a home with history. The lounge at the front comfortably seats any visitors you may have, with a fireplace keeping everyone toasty in the winter months. Two spacious bedrooms with high ceilings are serviced by a low-maintenance bathroom ideal for washing off the sand following your afternoon swims at the beach down the road.

Opportunities for significant development don’t arise often and are becoming increasingly scarce in this booming area, so don’t let this be the one that got away. Arrange a viewing with Brad and Kate Hardingham before someone else snaps up this one in a million chance.
