244 Duke Street, Northam WA 6401

Walk through the front gate of this early 1900s brick home and note the features such as bullnosed verandah, timber mantel pieces over open fire places, jarrah floor boards, pressed tin ceiling and walls, a Metters wood stove, tall skirting boards, moulded architraves, traditional stile and rail timber door construction.

The house has been tastefully renovated and would make an excellent first home or a great entry level rental investment property where the purchase price won't break your budget.

There are two bedrooms at the front of the house, a spacious lounge with gas room heater and reverse cycle air conditioner and a country style kitchen with electric and wood stoves.

Older kids might like to claim the sleepout as their domain as it's set-off to one side of the house, has its own external access door and an attached study area.

A vestibule separates the kitchen from bathroom and back entry door. This is the perfect place to setup additional storage cupboards, the second fridge, somewhere to hang your coat and hat, the possibilities are endless.

The laundry forms part of the rear verandah structure and a gigantic open back yard follows containing a lockup garage with power, workshop with power and skillion roof section for storage of chattels and a car.

Land in this neighbourhood is zoned R30 so lucky people who have rear access to their backyards and services such as power, water and sewer available for connection can do very affordable subdivisions (subject to WA Planning consent and compliance) for building a second dwelling or simply for resale of the new lot.

Hidden extras in this property are the electrical rewiring, some restumping of the subfloor, new gas plumbing, ducted evaporative air conditioning and gas room heater both about 3 years old and second hand garden shed (disassembled) and spare bathroom vanity.
