26 Katoomba Street, Orana WA 6330

There's a touch of country character in this appealing home, which has been tastefully modernised while proudly retaining the essence and features of its 1970s origins.
It's built of double brick with rendered walls inside and out perfectly complementing the beautiful polished timber floorboards and decorative ceiling cornices.
The cottage occupies a corner block of 741sqm, with gates around the corner leading to a double garage and further backyard access from the front for stowing the trailer.
It sits amid lawns and native trees, with sheltered spots for sitting out at the back.
The front door opens onto a hallway with the long open living room on the right and the bedrooms on the left.
The living area consists of an air-conditioned lounge, which also has a stone-feature fireplace, at the front, then the dining area in the middle and the kitchen at the opposite end – this modernised workspace sporting attractive off-white cabinetry and a dishwasher.
An addition to the original home is a sunroom at the back, with an outlook over the back yard and space for summer relaxation or entertaining.
All three bedrooms are good-sized doubles. Although dated, the bathroom is serviceable with a shower and vanity, and the toilet is separate, off the laundry.
There's plenty of workshop and storage space in the lockable brick shed at the back, and a rainwater tank for the garden.
This is a well-priced property for first-timers or downsizers looking for something with character, or for rental investors seeking a solid proposition with the potential for good returns.
In an excellent locale for families, it has easy access to a major supermarket, high school and TAFE, making this property as attractive for tenants as for owner-occupiers.
