The long awaited wait is over for those who have been eagerly waiting for a Gordon Street address to come on the market as there hasn’t been one for quite sometime since they were all snatched up by lucky buyers and this one will be the next. 72 Gordon Street is on the corner of Gordon and Lawley Avenue and is quite hidden from the street but that certainly works in favour for desired privacy. Once you get behind the boundary fencing and hedging, you will see just what a beauty she really is. The lucky current owners have enjoyed what the previous owners did to the house and give credit to them for their renovations using recycled, authentic and quality materials throughout to keep with the character of the home that often gets lost these days. It was built in 1909 by a surveyor back in the day named Mr AE Fenton and has to be one of Northam’s finer red brick federation homes. What I love about these older homes is that not one floor plan is the same and are all unique in their own special way. The mystery and history is what draws buyers to them. So, what’s behind the walls of this grand home? A gorgeous wide entry foyer/hall Open plan living and dining area 3 large bedrooms Handcrafted kitchen with walk-in-pantry, a slow-combustion stove, gas cook top, electric oven and dishwasher. The Cabinets and benches are hand crafted in solid recycled Baltic stained pine A beautiful federation style bathroom with traditional colours and a claw-foot bath tub that is said to have been salvaged from an old Kalgoorlie hotel and restored Wide polished jarrah floorboards Ducted air-conditioning 15ft ceilings with decorative pressed tin in multiple areas 5 fire places Original woodwork Cedar blinds and jarrah frame screens custom made for all windows Fully rewired back in 2003 And how about the outside? Wide verandah leading around into the backyard Laundry with extra toilet Double garage shed with access from Lawley Avenue Mature garden and lawn areas that are fully reticulated A gazebo for entrainment Tuck pointed bricks One of the only of its kind currently available to the Northam market and is one of those properties that are even better than the pictures.
