17 Hampton Street, Northam WA 6401

Perfect pad for a bachelor in Australia. You won't need to be richie rich in 2016 to afford it. It's rather unique, almost one of a kind, there's hardly any other contestant, says Nikki Gogan, selling real estate agent.

Take a look how easy it would be to live in this comfy, country style home. Its built of character Hardieplank reminiscent of the old weatherboard homes of yesteryear. Wrapping around 3 sides of the house are lovely verandahs which widen adjacent the family room sliding glass doors to make a fabulous sitting/barbecue area.

There are two bedrooms and bathroom and toilet. At the front of the house off the entry hall is a formal lounge but who uses a formal lounge these days? It could be better used as a study/home office or, with a simple Gyprock stud wall infill, be transformed into a great 3rd bedroom.

An awesome open plan area contains the meals, family and stunningly clean kitchen with heaps of natural light from wide rear facing windows that take in a commanding view of the rear yard.

Like a nifty little anteroom off the kitchen is the laundry with double cupboard storage, a door to the double garage and a door to the side verandah.

Nice brick paving runs from the roadside, across the verge up to the garages roller door and also beside the house right up the back yard to an attractive Colorbond garage that blends in oh-so-well with the character and colour scheme of the house.

Theres an electric hot water unit, gas hot plates and electric oven, 3 reverse cycle air conditioners (bedrooms and family room), a gas room heater in the family room, fully automatic reticulated lawns and garden and thermal insulation everywhere (roof, walls and floor).

Best of all is the location being with walking distance of the Senior High School and just a short stroll to the end of the street to the Avon River foreshore barbecue areas and suspension bridge over the river to main street shopping.

Its a bargain at $269 000 for a home which offers so much. Ask Nikki Gogan or Steve Hill for an inspection today.
