Corner block with shed | 791sqm in Armadale | 3 bed, 1 bath original 1985 | high-roof workshop adds rare utility The buying case rests on the corner block and the shed. At 791sqm with a 7.5m x 7.5m high-roof workshop, this property offers something most houses in this price bracket do not: genuine space for a trade, hobby, or small business operation. The 286sqm building footprint is generous for a single-storey 1985 home, and the extra enclosed living area gives flexibility for a growing family or home office. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes costly compliance risk. This property best suits a buyer who values land utility over cosmetic finish — a tradie, a car enthusiast, or someone wanting room to add value without fighting overlays. The main risk is the single bathroom. In a 3-bedroom house, this limits appeal to families and future resale, and any renovation to add a second bathroom will be expensive given the 1985 layout. The 2017 purchase price of $400,000 shows limited capital growth over eight years, suggesting the street or immediate area has not outperformed. The rental estimate of $620 per week is modest for the land size, meaning a buy-and-hold strategy relies on land appreciation, not yield. The opportunity is to use the shed and corner positioning to create a dual-purpose property — live and work on site — which could justify a premium over standard residential comparables. Hold for land value growth or improve the bathroom to unlock family buyer demand.
