72 Gordon Street, Northam WA 6401

The long awaited wait is over for those who have been eagerly waiting for a Gordon Street address to come on the market as there hasn’t been one for quite sometime since they were all snatched up by lucky buyers and this one will be the next.

72 Gordon Street is on the corner of Gordon and Lawley Avenue and is quite hidden from the street but that certainly works in favour for desired privacy. Once you get behind the boundary fencing and hedging, you will see just what a beauty she really is.

The lucky current owners have enjoyed what the previous owners did to the house and give credit to them for their renovations using recycled, authentic and quality materials throughout to keep with the character of the home that often gets lost these days.

It was built in 1909 by a surveyor back in the day named Mr AE Fenton and has to be one of Northam’s finer red brick federation homes.

What I love about these older homes is that not one floor plan is the same and are all unique in their own special way. The mystery and history is what draws buyers to them.

So, what’s behind the walls of this grand home?
