If these walls could talk……they would tell the story of jars of sweets and supplies lined up on the shelves, locals coming in to collect their post across the decades, a personable shop-keep who loves a chat, and customers from near and far coming through its doors.

In communities such as Narrikup, the general store is the heart and soul, providing the essentials for residents, a venue for socialising and the type of old fashioned customer service that can sometime seem a distant memory. This unique business and living opportunity provides the opportunity for a family to establish themselves as the new heart and soul of Narrikup – re-opening the doors of the General Store and revitalising it as an icon of the community, and of the Great Southern.

The heritage building screams character, with a quaint verandah entrance entering through into the spacious shop floor, featuring original floorboards, big country style windows and the space to utilise however you wish to.

You could choose to stock the basics, and build your reputation through delicious edible items that will become infamous throughout the region and attract visitors from far and wide. You could choose to re-establish the post office and combine it with a cafe and gallery to please the masses. Or you could choose to renovate the entire space to create a unique extension to the home that would pay homage to the shops past, while giving it a new future. In any scenario, the mind boggles at ways that the space could be primped and polished to its former glory.

A full scale commercial kitchen will allow you to provide wonderful country meals, be it for just family or for customers.

French doors lead from the main shop floor to a paved dining room space which could become a wonderful country cafe space.

The living quarters leads from the shopfront via a number of entrances, which would make it easy for the live in couple or family to service customers while still enjoying a lovely home life.

It is potential packed, with four good size bedrooms and plenty of living spaces which could be jigged and refurbished to suit your lifestyle.

The home also features its own kitchenette which could be renovated into a full scale kitchen should the new owners which to be completely self sufficient away from the shop. A refurbished bathroom services the home, with bright crisp white and mint tones surrounding the bath/shower and modern vanity.

Plenty of storage space also abounds in the home – perfect for a sizeable family.

Stepping outside, a massive private yard can be found, filled with fruit trees and established natives, a massive double garage and plenty of room to develop a family oasis during your time away from the shop.

Bursting with character, a rich and iconic history, and the potential to once again become the heart of Narrikup, embrace the unique opportunity and experience the country community lifestyle.
