A stylish home awaits in one of the most centrally located and sought after streets in Northam. It’s just a jump to the left down to the Avon River foreshore with park, barbecues and a suspension bridge over to River’s Edge Cafe and the main shopping precinct. And a step to the right to a seven day general store and the town’s senior high school. The house… it’s so dreamy. The exterior is painted in an earthy hue similar to the colour of Kimberley Pindan and the charm is enhanced by the blue painted gothic picket front fence, wide verandah with timber balustrades and canvas awnings.

Featured in the lounge is an old fashion timber mantel on the brick chimney that’s had the plaster render picked to expose the locally manufactured red brick and a Bushman solid fuel slow combustion room heater has been set into the fire place. If you’re not keen on chopping wood to heat the house there is a fully ducted reverse cycle air conditioner.

Polished jarrah floor boards flow from the lounge into the bedrooms and kitchen. Many of the rooms have authentic timber plank wall dados in contrast with contemporary suede effects paint above. The kitchen was refurbished several years ago and features an electric wall oven set into the former chimney cavity, in-bench hot plates with exhaust canopy and dishwasher. Although the 3rd bedroom is not as gigantic as the other two, it is adjacent a vestibule area just perfect for setting up the study desk or
Xbox console so the bedroom need only house the bed, robe and dresser unit.

There’s room to swing two cats in the air conditioned 7m x 5m family room which gets plenty of natural morning light from the north-east facing French windows to rear patio area. It overlooks an expanse of lawn, a few fruit trees, the garage, store shed and original outdoor loo. Beside the rear of the house with its access sheltered from rain is the laundry, so big that the far end can been used as a kids’ activity area kept cool by a room air conditioner. A new Colorbond carport easily fits two cars with room to spare for kids bikes and the wheeliebin.
