6 Lance Street, Northam WA 6401

Art Deco homes in Northam usually sell for upwards of $300 000. Don't believe me? Ask me for some addresses and you can check them out. It's very rare to see them under $250 000. Why is this one seemingly below market value? A family circumstance has given rise to the need to say goodbye to this lovely residence so the Seller has priced it to sell this month.

This beautiful brick and tile dwelling was built in 1958, just at the end of the Art Deco era and the start of the heady 1960s booming economy. It has a wide, imposing street aspect standing up high on its block in one of the best neighbourhoods in town; at the top of Fermoy Avenue just opposite St Josephs Primary private school.

The entry hall off the front door leads to a passage with linen press storage cupboards, the bathroom and two bedrooms; both having built-in robes and external doors to a side verandah/retreat area.

Through french doors off the entry hall is the main living room with gas heating and another set of french doors to the rear family room which has wide glass windows to capture the full view of the back yard and the entertainment area; a tall pergola covered with polycarb sheeting. Next to the living room is the kitchen with a meals nook and loads of below bench and overhead cupboard space, a newish looking gas stove and dishwasher.

More french doors from the kitchen reveal a large utility room with a separate external door just like the two bedrooms. This room could be used for a his-and- hers study with ample room for two desks and two bookcases or filing cabinets. I think its a great bedroom for a teenager who needs room-to-move.

There's plenty of windows and the has floods with natural light giving the home a lovely cosy warm feel on those chilly winter mornings. The hot water unit is a gas storage type and there's ducted evaporative air conditioning.

A carport and Colorbond shed stand at the top of the driveway and the awesome 1 539sqm block is elevated, looks down Fermoy Avenue, has a wide 29m frontage and side access from a right-of-way lane. The R30 zoning of the land and the Shire's Laneway Review Policy creates the perfect opportunity for redevelopment of the land.
