54 Burlong Road, Northam WA 6401

Local Northamites refer to this estate as Burlong. It’s not new, it’s been subdivided since 1897. It’s only 2.5km from the town’s Post Office in the main street. You could ride a push-bike over the fairly flat road or footpath into town in about 8 minutes. Yet living down at Burlong you’ll feel like your away from the suburban area, more like semi-rural.

From the back boundary of the property it’s just a tiny 120m down to Tankard Street which runs parallel to the Avon River. At this South-Western end the river is natural and undeveloped compared to the river’s main pool in the town centre. It’s a great spot to take your loyal dog or the kids for a leisurely stroll.

The property’s block is gigantic; 1,619sqm. Oodles of room for sheds, chooks, fruit trees, vines, veggie patch, composting, let your imagination run wild.

The dwelling is constructed of cement brick and metal tile roof that looks like it was constructed in the 1940s or 50s though records indicate 1963. There are 3 bedrooms, a sleepout, small craft room, big country style kitchen with original wood burning stove, lounge room with heater and split system air conditioner, bathroom with toilet, solar hot water unit.

There are a heap outbuildings including another toilet, the laundry, garage and carport, a small room that looks like it was once used to brine olives and preserve fruits. Concrete paths surround the dwelling and areas under rear pergola are surfaced.

This property has been in one family ownership for decades. Now the dear lady owner has relocated into residential care. After such a long period you can imagine that the decor is not on point with modern trend and there are a few maintenance tasks here and there that need attention but the price has been set bearing that in mind.

$225,000 is a small price to pay for this substantial property. Immediate vacant possession available. Please call Lara Turnbull or Steve Hill for a private inspection.
