24 Bellevue Rd Bellevue WA 6056 $725,000 This solid 1975 brick-and-tile home sits on a generous 680-square-metre block zoned R20/40, offering immediate liveability with genuine potential for those who see beyond the mauve bathroom tiles. The bones are good, the layout works, and there’s space to move – both inside and out. A powered workshop, substantial verandah, and private backyard complete a package that rewards practical thinking. 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom 1975-built brick and tile Well-proportioned living  Open-plan kitchen meals 6 m x 6 m powered shed Private fenced backyard 16 m x 3 m rear verandah Drive through BY access Zoned R20/40, 680 sqm lot 15 minutes to Perth airport The formal entry from the tandem carport leads through an arched doorway into an air-conditioned lounge room that’s surprisingly light and well-proportioned. Timber-look floors underfoot and a picture window overlooking the backyard create an airy feel that belies the home’s modest street presence. The open-plan kitchen and meals area continue the functional approach. Timber-look cabinetry, laminated benchtops, and an integrated breakfast bar define the cooking zone, which is fitted with an electric oven, new dishwasher, never used and a built-in pantry. Nothing revolutionary, but everything you need is here and sensibly arranged. The meals area accommodates a proper dining table with room to move, and the outlook to the backyard makes morning coffee feel less rushed than it probably is. Four carpeted bedrooms branch off a central hallway in classic 70s fashion. The main bedroom comes with air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a wardrobe, providing a comfortable retreat. One of the junior rooms includes a robe recess. The shared family bathroom embraces its era with mauve fixtures and tiles that someone, somewhere, is now paying premium prices to recreate. A separate WC sits off the walk-through laundry, a practical arrangement that eliminates morning bathroom queues. The backyard is where this property distinguishes itself. Double gates at the rear of the tandem carport provide drive-through access to a 6-metre by 6-metre powered workshop tucked into one corner – a space serious enough for projects, storage, or tinkering. A row of trimmed fiddlewood trees lines the rear boundary, their canopies creating a green screen that erupts with fragrant flowers come spring. The fully fenced lawn extends from an 16-metre verandah running the full width of the home’s rear, providing multiple zones for outdoor living. Palm trees frame a partially enclosed gazebo that previously housed a spa but reads more readily as an outdoor kitchen in waiting. Add a barbecue, some string lights, and comfortable seating, and you’ve created the kind of entertaining space that keeps people outside long after the sun sets. The privacy here is genuine – the kind where neighbours exist but don’t dominate your sightlines. The R20/40 zoning adds another dimension to the proposition. For those who see this as a long-term hold, there’s development potential. For those who want space now, the 680-square-metre block delivers elbow room. The location offers practical advantages too – Perth Airport sits roughly 15 minutes away via direct highway access, making early flights less punishing than they might be from elsewhere. This isn’t a home that will seduce you with European appliances or Instagram-ready interiors. It’s a solid, honest property that works now and offers options for later. The reward here is space – to live, to work, to potentially develop – at a point where space itself has become a luxury. For buyers who value function over fashion and see potential where others see only bathrooms that time forgot, this represents genuine opportunity.
