82 Harper Street, Beverley WA 6304

82 Harper Street, Beverley | 1907 character home on 4.2 acres | 3 bed, 2 bath with period details | flood and bushfire zone | walking distance to town This property offers a rare combination of historic character and functional land size within walking distance to Beverley’s centre, which positions it well for buyers seeking a rural lifestyle without full isolation. The 1.7-hectare block provides genuine space and privacy, while the high pressed tin ceilings, polished floorboards, and pot belly stove deliver the period appeal that often commands a premium in this market. The 3.5kW solar system and air conditioning reduce ongoing costs, making the house more viable for full-time occupation or as a weekend retreat. The property best suits buyers who value heritage aesthetics and land over turnkey modern finishes, and who are comfortable with the trade-offs that come with a century-old structure. The primary risk is the flood and bushfire zoning, which will affect insurance premiums and may limit financing options for some buyers. The conflicting bedroom and bathroom counts in past listings suggest the current configuration may have been altered without permits, so a building inspection and council records check are essential before exchange. On the commercial side, the large block offers subdivision potential if zoning permits, though this would require due diligence with the Shire. The recent 2023 sale at $220,000 indicates strong short-term value growth, but the current asking price reflects that uplift. Hold this property for its land and character, not for quick resale.
