For Sale by End Date Campaign
All offers to be presented by 2nd March 2026, unless sold prior.
Positioned in one of Como’s most established and family-friendly streets, 74 Hobbs Avenue presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial 1,012sqm green title landholding with wide-ranging potential. Whether your vision is to renovate and restore a character residence, explore subdivision possibilities, or hold as a long-term investment, this property offers flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in today’s market.
Originally constructed circa 1949, the home carries the charm and generous proportions of its era, featuring five bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living zones. In recent times, renovation works were commenced but remain incomplete, meaning the property is not currently move-in ready. This creates a genuine value-add opportunity for buyers who recognise the upside of completing or redesigning the project to suit their own plans and budget.
Set on a spacious rectangular block zoned R20, the site opens the door to a variety of future pathways. Buyers may consider retaining and renovating the original dwelling, extending further, or investigating subdivision potential to create additional lots (subject to council and relevant authority approvals). In suburbs such as Como, the true strength of an asset often lies not only in the dwelling itself, but in the scale and versatility of the land beneath it.
The location further enhances the appeal. Within close proximity to reputable schools including Penrhos College, Curtin University, local shopping hubs, parklands and convenient transport links into the Perth CBD, the address consistently attracts families, professionals and investors alike. Lifestyle amenity and connectivity combine here to support both owner-occupier appeal and strong long-term demand.
Opportunities of this nature — where land size, zoning flexibility and character foundations intersect — are becoming increasingly scarce. Whether you are a developer seeking your next project, a renovator with vision, or an investor looking for a strategic landholding in a blue-chip riverside suburb, 74 Hobbs Avenue represents a canvas rich with possibility.
A substantial block. A character home with untapped potential. A rare chance to shape the future of a prime Como address.

Como is an established suburb bound to the west by the Canning and Swan Rivers. Part of the City of South Perth's municipality, Como experienced its most significant development during the 1950s and 1960s, with gradual growth since the early 1990s as new dwellings were added to the area.
Parks and reserves are a dominant aspect of the Como landscape, such as one of Como's most notable features the international standard 27 hole Collier Park Golf Course. The Como Hotel is a popular bar, café and restaurant in the suburb and a recognisable fixture of Canning Highway. There are also some shops in the area to service local requirements, as well as four local schools, including Penrhos College.
