North Beach Granny Flat

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

A Smart Solution in a Tough Rental Market
With Perth’s rental crisis hitting hard, this North Beach family found themselves in a tricky spot. Their son couldn’t secure a rental anywhere nearby, and rather than watch him struggle, they decided to create a long-term solution right at home: a modern granny flat built onto the side of their existing house.

The result is a bright, welcoming, self-contained space that feels independent while still connected to the main home. The new kitchen looks out to the leafy North Beach surrounds, the combined bathroom and laundry is beautifully practical, and the private outdoor entry gives the flat its own sense of identity – perfect for a young adult wanting space and stability.

And the bonus? If their son eventually moves out, this little gem becomes a highly rentable asset in one of Perth’s most sought-after coastal suburbs. Instant passive income, future-proofed.
A win for the family today – and a smart investment for tomorrow.
