You’ve been waiting for good house in a good neighbourhood with a good price tag and fresh redecorations haven’t you? Well here it is… 9 Thomson Street, Northam, ready and waiting for you, or your tenants, to turn the key in the front door, unpack your chattels and relax.

It’s a double brick and tile home built in 1964, has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, toilet off the laundry, a large kitchen/meals combo and warm, sunny family area facing the rear yard.

The exciting thing is the redecorations that have just been completed, particularly the shiny new kitchen cupboards and electric stove complemented by brand new vinyl or carpet floor coverings, window treatments, light fittings, Corinthian profile doors and paintwork to walls and ceilings in good quality materials.

Wall to wall robes have been built into the main bedroom and a good old fashioned linen press is built into the passage. There’s ducted evaporative air conditioning throughout the house and a Vulcan oil heater in the lounge room though a gas bayonet is in place if you want to install a gas room heater. Hot water is heated by a Bosch instantaneous gas unit.

A blank canvas’ is the best way to describe the rear of the 809m2 block. The yard is fair bare other than a rather large garden shed and shade house/pergola. It’s waiting for you to decide whether to construct a gable patio if you’re the outdoor barbecue lover or perhaps plant lawn and/or shade trees or grow fruit and veggies.

If you’re a retired person and love to play bowls you’ll be glad to know the Lawn Bowls club is just 400m around the corner. Enjoy a few ends and drinks at the bar and stagger safely home.

Alternatively, it’s only 500m to the Northam Hospital if you’re an investor looking for a reasonably priced rental investment hoping to attract one of the many health care professional that visit our expanding health campus as a possible tenant. This property was fetching $240pw before redecorations and it’s anticipated to fetch $280pw if offered to the market today.

The Shire rates were $1 037 last year. This year’s water and sewer rates are $930.
