8 Dorking Road

City Beach WA 6015

DECEASED ESTATE
High on the hill the ocean views are endless, as are the opportunities offered by this large elevated block with its solid sixties home, in an enviable location a twelve-minute drive to the city and a stroll down the hill to the beach.
Savour the 180- degree coastal vistas and consider how your own architectural creation could rise above it all in this superb spot.
This 931sqm block is ideal for a new build, with the large level home-site perfectly located at the top of the block and the sloping front garden already retained.
The choices are all yours: demolish and build anew, rent it out while making your plans, consider retaining and renovating, or just move in while you ponder the big horizon and the bigger possibilities.
Imagine leaving the office in the city and fifteen minutes later being home on the hill to watch the sunset or walk on the beach.
The beautiful, rare bushland of Bold Park and Reabold Hill is nearby, Boulevard Shopping Centre is two minutes away and you can enjoy all the facilities offered by the revitalisation of the City Beach foreshore, as well as the rejuvenation of nearby Scarborough.
You're ideally located for the best schools: in the catchment area for Churchlands Senior High School, close to Hale and St Mary's and walking distance to City Beach Primary.
Built in the mid-sixties, this double brick and tile, four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is solid, functional, roomy and in original condition.
A stylish home in its day, with large rooms, good ceiling height and big picture windows, it's a time capsule for lovers of the retro; the teak and laminex kitchen/dining area is straight out of Mad Men - just bring your own cocktail shaker.
Fans of that aesthetic would consider retaining the bones of the home while adding a second storey for truly breathtaking views along the coast and over the ocean. (An added bonus for aficionados of mid-twentieth century architecture is that the extraordinary Tomich House by renowned modernist architect Iwan Iwanoff is directly opposite).
8 Dorking Road is a deceased estate ready for a new vibrant life up on the hill, with the ocean (and the possibilities) as far as the eye can see.
