5/25 The Avenue, Crawley, WA 6009

How could this not be a valuable property, and an excellent investment, being located just 300m from the banks of the Swan River? Furthermore, there are extensive parklands adjoining the river to be enjoyed, not to mention the nearby scenic Matilda Bay!

For UWA students or academics, the University of Western Australia is an easy 400m walk, so no need to worry about traffic or parking hassles. Those who work in the City or QE2 Medical Centre, can catch the free Purple Cat Bus Service, which runs every 15 minutes, from just 250m away.

If you're not in the mood to cook, Broadway Pizza, the Little Way, the Thai Orchid restaurant, and Steves are right over the road. Stretch your legs, and many more tasty dining options can be found at The Broadway Fair shopping centre, as well as an IGA supermarket and Asian grocer, just 500m up the street.

Now that you understand the benefits of the location, let me tell you about the apartment. It is located on the ground floor, and has a spacious open plan living and dining room, facing onto the leafy garden. Step out onto the private porch and enjoy the secluded garden, screened by established shrubbery.

The large master bedroom also enjoys garden views, and each of the bedrooms has built-in wardrobes. The renovated kitchen has a gas stove for instant heat, and the WC is separate from the bathroom, so there would be no need to wait while someone finishes showering.

Although a car may rarely be needed in such a convenient location, if you have one, there is a car port to protect it from the elements. There are security screens on all doors and windows, so these can be left open for ventilation without worrying about security.

If you're looking for a home to live in, I don't think you will find better value, and if you are buying to rent out, there will always be strong demand from students and academics at UWA, and staff from the numerous nearby hospitals.

Council rates are $1,566.95pa, water rates are $1,150.26pa, and strata fees are $888.89 per quarter.

This is an excellent opportunity, in a fantastic location, so don't miss our home open this Saturday!
