Owner looking for a quick sale reduces asking price by $16 000 from $395 000 to $379 000 for this Hopetoun Avenue villa; a peaceful street where the only traffic that drives down the street are usually the owners that live in the street.

Its about 650m from Northam’s main shopping area. This property makes a perfect aged persons’ dwelling as there aren’t any shower recess hobs that can be hard to negotiate, nor steps from the front or back doors to verandah or patio and door handles are lever action (not hard to grip door knobs).

This home villa has a high quality finish and is like new being built in 2009 in brick and Colorbond featuring beautifully polished jarrah timber floors reclaimed from the original 1910 weatherboard cottage that once stood on this land.

There is a large open plan meals/lounge and dreamy, well appointed kitchen. Cupboards are everywhere; built-in robes in the 3 bedrooms, a linen press in the passage, closet in the entry hall, under bench and overheads in the laundry and more than ample in the kitchen.

Each bedroom and the living area has a reverse cycle split air conditioner and there are 2 toilets; one in the bathroom and another near the laundry.

Behind the double carport is a lockup store room. The dwelling has a floor area of 118m2 and the 29m wide frontage provides easy access to the 544m2 block with plenty of room to construct a future shed, gazebo, whatever.

This property is part of a 2 lot survey-strata scheme with no common property. That means there’s no obligation to have annual meetings with the other owner, record minutes, keep books of account or have a strata levy fund, just live your separate lives.

The property has a current tenant with a lease to 29/07/12 paying $350 per week.
