A Stylish, Low-Maintenance Build-to-Rent Home in North Perth Designed to Maximize Investment Returns
A sophisticated two-story home in North Perth, crafted as part of an investment strategy has been carefully designed with maximum rental returns and tenant amenity in mind. Situated behind an existing 1930s Californian Bungalow, the new dwelling enjoys its own street frontage, creating a distinct and attractive rental opportunity building on from the clients existing land-holding which is leased as a separate commercial property. The design thoughtfully references the architectural heritage of the original bungalow through the use of face brickwork and vertically grooved claddings, echoing the traditional brickwork and timber weatherboarding found in the existing dwelling.
The home offers flexible living spaces, including a versatile downstairs study or bedroom with an adjacent bathroom and laundry, enhancing the property's appeal to potential tenants. Living spaces open onto functional courtyard spaces to the north, creating inviting outdoor areas for relaxation and entertainment.
Upstairs, two bedrooms share a bathroom, while the separate master suite provides stunning city views to the south. Designed with durability and low maintenance in mind, the home features timber composite cladding that adds warmth to the façade without requiring ongoing upkeep. Window box-shrouds add sculptural interest and provide shading to openings, enhancing the home's aesthetic appeal.
Efficient planning ensures no wasted space, and the use of lightweight suspended flooring and upper-level construction helped control building costs. This high-quality architectural rental property is an ideal investment, offering tenants a beautiful and well-designed living environment, ensuring strong demand and maximizing rental returns for the client.
