28 Second Avenue, Shoalwater WA 6169

A 4-bedroom coastal family home built in 1970 on a 633m² block near the beach, with a dual garage plus caravan parking, in Shoalwater’s Golden Triangle. Property Overview This four-bedroom, two-bathroom house sits on a 633 square metre block in Shoalwater’s Golden Triangle. The 154 square metre internal floor area includes built-in robes in each bedroom, an ensuite, and two toilets. The property features a dual garage with undercroft parking and additional space for a caravan or boat, offering practical appeal given its waterfront proximity. Natural light enters through Velux roof windows, and the home sits at ground elevation of 5 metres with a roof height of 5 metres. Building coverage is 24 percent of the total block, leaving substantial outdoor space. Garden and Outdoor Features The property includes established fruit trees, herbs, and a hobby growing area with orchard potential. A bore and reticulation system maintain the gardens year-round, reducing reliance on mains water during dry periods. The deck provides a sheltered outdoor entertaining area, appealing to residents interested in self-sufficiency or hobby gardening without requiring major infrastructure investment. Location and Market Positioning Located within walking distance of the beach and local shops, the property sits in Shoalwater’s established Golden Triangle precinct. The location attracts two buyer segments: families seeking a coastal lifestyle with school proximity, and downsizers wanting privacy and outdoor space without leaving the area. The caravan and boat parking directly addresses demand from retirees and active lifestyle buyers who value water access. Accessibility and Local Amenities Safety Bay Primary School is 3.63 kilometres away and Safety Bay Senior High School is within established catchment areas. The suburb offers reliable NBN Fibre to the Node connectivity and 5G mobile coverage, meeting modern connectivity expectations. Market Signals and Demand The property last sold for $505,000 in October 2020. Current listing activity suggests renewed market interest, with location and block size valued highly. The dwelling’s age and modest internal area relative to land size indicate potential for renovation or redevelopment may be considered by certain buyer profiles. Buyer Suitability The property suits families prioritising outdoor space, school access, and coastal proximity over modern interior finishes. Downsizers benefit from established gardens, reduced maintenance compared with larger homes, and flexible parking for recreational vehicles. Investors may view the substantial land component as development potential, subject to local planning overlays and zoning permissions. Risks and Considerations The 1970 construction date warrants building and pest checks before purchase. Coastal properties in this region face potential salt-air effects on fixtures and materials. The modest internal floor area relative to block size means renovation costs could significantly impact overall investment return. The bore system reduces utility costs but requires maintenance and potential replacement planning. The property is positioned as a lifestyle purchase rather than a growth-focused investment, with appreciation tied to broader coastal suburb demand.
