When I was still in high school, one of my mate’s Grand-uncles owned this property. I used to look at it and think that one day I’d like to live in such a Federation home in charming Gordon Street. Today I live just down the road and No 37 is on my dog-walking route. I still look at the home admiringly and acknowledge the enormous renovations that took place after my mate’s relative moved on. The dwelling sits on a large 1,416sqm block half way up pretty Kurrajong Tree lined Gordon Street which some stalwarts argue is the ‘best’ location in Northam. Set off to the rear-right side of the block is a self-contained grannyflat comprising bathroom/laundry, bedroom and open plan kitchen/meals/lounge. There’s possibly an Airbnb or B&B income earning opportunity begging here. The main dwelling is packed with features from a bygone era, all the things you’ve come to know and expect to see in turn-of-the-20th-century such as; jarrah floor boards, high timber skirtings, tall ceilings with fancy cornices and roses, open fire places, bifold doors opening the lounge to the dining room, French windows to sprawling verandahs, corbelled brickwork around chimney stacks. There are three generous sized bedrooms, formal lounge and dining, a vestibule and Federation themed renovated bathroom and kitchen. Extras include a solar PV array, split system reverse cycle and ducted evaporative air conditioners, Bushman log fire, near new electric storage hot water unit, 3 bay carport. An outdoor loo, gazebo and beautiful expanse of grass or pea-gravel cover the back yard while brick paving or asphalt covered driveway keep weed control in most other parts of the block. Call Lara Turnbull or Steve Hill to arrange a private viewing of this stunning property.
