About this property
A rare opportunity to own one of the highly sought-after Chelsea Village cottages in Diep River — the last comparable sale was back in 2019. This charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached home forms part of a characterful row of six cottages developed in the 1990s, set opposite a well-maintained community children's park on leafy Severn Road.
The north-facing front elevation offers excellent pavement appeal with brick-paved driveway, slatted timber-and-brick boundary wall, automated garage door and a secure pedestrian gate. A roofed front patio provides additional covered entertaining space and secure off-street parking in a carport accommodating one to two vehicles.
Inside, the generous open-plan living area is finished in neutral large-format ceramic tiles and flows effortlessly from the lounge — anchored by an attractive north-facing bay window — through to the dining area and into the well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen features wrap doors, aluminium handles, top units fitted to the ceiling, a free-standing stove with extractor fan, and space for two microwaves and a fridge, plus a breakfast bar for casual dining.
The main bedroom benefits from a north-facing bay window that fills the room with natural light. It offers generous built-in cupboards, a dedicated dressing-table nook, and a pristine en-suite shower bathroom. The two remaining bedrooms each have quality built-in cupboards and share a family bathroom with bath.
Bonus features include brand-new white aluminium windows and doors throughout, a comprehensive security package (alarm, beams, burglar bars and spikes), a dedicated laundry/utility room with provision for washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer, and a 5 kW inverter-and-battery back-up power system. A paved rear courtyard with PVC storage shed completes the package.
The property is dual-zoned for both Residential and General Business 1 use — a compelling advantage for investors or home-based professionals. Café Zeechi is roughly 55 m away, The Block Cafe around 110 m, Tramways Village shopping centre approximately 150 m, and Diep River Station only about 245 m from the front door — making this an outstanding investment and lifestyle proposition in one of the Southern Suburbs' most consistently growing nodes.
