Step through the gates of 280 Railway Terrace and leave the outside world behind. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, established trees and a wonderful sense of privacy, this big cottage-style home feels like a peaceful country retreat yet sits right on the edge of Margaret River town.
A wide, north-facing verandah welcomes you to the home, while concrete aggregate pathways wind through the beautifully established gardens, large trees and lawn areas. It is a property with an immediate sense of warmth, privacy and country charm.
Light, Space & Character
Inside, warmth and character take centre stage, with a generous open-plan, split-level living area featuring beautiful timber floors and impressive high timber-lined ceilings.
High north-facing windows draw natural light deep into the living spaces, while a slow-combustion wood heater creates a cosy ambience through winter and reverse-cycle air conditioning provides year-round comfort.
The living area flows naturally through to the dining space and kitchen, creating a wonderful central hub for relaxed family living and entertaining.
A Kitchen Made for Living
Recently renovated and beautifully presented, the kitchen combines style with practicality and plenty of personality.
At its centre is a stunning freestanding 900mm stainless steel electric oven with a five-burner gas cooktop, complemented by a dishwasher, new benchtops and cabinetry. White subway tiles create a timeless splashback, while high north-facing windows bring an abundance of natural light into the space.
Direct access to the rear timber deck makes outdoor entertaining wonderfully easy, while the adjoining dining area provides the perfect setting for long lunches and relaxed family meals.
Near the entrance, a cute office nook adds another layer of versatility β ideal for working from home, study or simply keeping life organised.
Thoughtfully Updated
The recently renovated laundry continues the home's practical appeal, with generous bench space, plenty of cabinetry, a sink, new flooring and a linen press. A separate WC is conveniently located nearby.
The home's three bedrooms are all generously proportioned. The two minor bedrooms are fitted with carpets and window treatments and offer plenty of flexibility, with no built-in robes.
Positioned towards the front of the home, the master bedroom is a particularly lovely retreat. Featuring built-in robes, carpet, window treatments and stunning high ceilings, it enjoys a beautiful outlook over the landscaped gardens β a peaceful view to wake up to each morning.
All three bedrooms are serviced by the renovated main bathroom, complete with a large shower, vanity, separate bath and WC.
A Studio Full of Possibilities
And then there is the studio β a wonderful addition that opens the door to so many possibilities.
Tucked privately into the rear garden, the separate one-bedroom studio features vinyl plank flooring, window treatments, downlights and a small kitchenette with sink. Fully insulated and complemented by its own alfresco area and single-bay car space, it could become a home office, professional space, teenager's retreat, guest accommodation, creative studio or simply a private hideaway for friends and family.
The studio has its own bathroom, complete with shower, vanity and WC. Please note this bathroom is not approved.
There is direct access from the studio through to the workshop, creating an exceptionally practical connection between the two spaces. The studio also has its own instantaneous gas hot water system and gas bottles.
The Ultimate Workshop
For the handyman, tradesperson or home-based business owner, the workshop is another standout feature.
Fully insulated and powered, it boasts high ceilings and high north-facing windows, creating a bright and functional workspace. A remote-controlled roller door opens directly onto the rear laneway, providing excellent access for vehicles, trailers, equipment or work vehicles.
The rear right of way provides additional access and parking, with plenty of flexibility for several cars, trailers or other equipment.
A Garden with Plenty to Discover
The gardens are an integral part of the property's appeal, with large established trees, landscaped areas, generous lawns and pathways creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
The backyard has been thoughtfully set up for enjoying the country lifestyle, with raised vegetable boxes, established fruit trees, rainwater tanks, a chook pen and clothesline.
The fully fenced grounds provide plenty of room for children and pets to enjoy, while the front brick wall and gated entry enhance both privacy and street appeal.
Out the front of the home, the timber-decked alfresco area and wide north-facing verandah provide beautiful spaces to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful garden outlook.
Live Here & Work From Home
Adding another dimension to this already versatile property is its Composite Industrial zoning β a particularly appealing feature for buyers looking to combine their home and business in one location.
The zoning provides opportunities for compatible residential and business uses, making this an exciting proposition for those wanting to live and work from home, subject to the relevant planning requirements and approvals.
With the separate studio, its own bathroom, substantial workshop, rear laneway access, additional parking and dedicated office space within the home, 280 Railway Terrace provides an excellent foundation for a home office, professional practice, creative pursuit, workshop or other compatible home-based business.
For the right buyer, this could mean no daily commute β simply walk out the back door and into your own dedicated workspace.
