42 Arlington Avenue, South Perth WA 6151

detached character house | mid-sized 438sqm lot | near river and schools | renovator or landbank opportunity | strong inner-suburb demand A detached character house in this pocket is considered a rare find because the surrounding stock leans heavily towards period homes with original features such as jarrah floors, high ceilings, and leadlight entry. The 438sqm green-title lot provides a flexible footprint for renovation, extension, or a longer-term landbank strategy, especially given the R15 zoning signals seen elsewhere on the street. It is positioned within a short distance of the Swan River foreshore, café strips, and several high-profile private schools, which makes it particularly suited to owner-occupiers seeking a lifestyle upgrade, as well as investors targeting premium rental demand. The combination of character charm and land value ensures broad appeal across both renovation-focused buyers and those planning a future rebuild. Value may be materially influenced by the existing condition and layout, particularly whether original period features have been retained or replaced. The lot size and orientation, including any north-east aspect, might affect redevelopment potential and therefore buyer demand. While the street has demonstrated strong price growth, the specific presentation and any completed extensions could shift the outcome. Buyers should weigh the cost of modernising an older property against the benefit of securing a scarce character home in an inner-suburb location. >> Comparable Sales: 1 Arlington Ave (4/2/2) $1.535M; a 4/2/2 on Arlington at $1.789M | Property Price Band: $1.4M–$1.7M | Value Drivers: Condition, land size, aspect
