About this property
Set on an elevated 5,218m² block on the peaceful outskirts of Northam, this solid and spacious property offers a rare opportunity to secure a private family haven with room for everyone. Perfectly designed for multi-generational living, this unique property combines comfort, flexibility, quality craftsmanship, and country-style charm, all while remaining conveniently close to town. Positioned back from Purkiss Drive and surrounded by long-term residents in a quiet, highly respectable street, this home offers privacy and tranquillity in equal measure. Enjoy peaceful mornings watching the hot air balloons drift across the sky, while taking in the beautiful, elevated outlook over the surrounding area. The elevated position also captures lovely breezes, enhancing the home's relaxed and peaceful atmosphere year-round. Built in 1989 with durable double brick and iron construction, the property was thoughtfully designed and built by the current owner, a respected long-term Northam builder, with quality, longevity, and practicality front of mind. Adding further peace of mind, the home was engineered to earthquake code standards by a family structural engineer, showcasing the care and attention invested in its construction. Further reflecting the exceptional build quality, all finishes were completed by family tradesmen to a specification exceeding standard residential expectations, reportedly aligned with higher-quality government public building standards. The main residence features three generously sized bedrooms, all complete with built-in robes, with comfortable carpet throughout the home. Attractive bay windows to the front add character and fill the spacious front lounge room with natural light, creating a warm and inviting central living space. The combined kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, with the kitchen overlooking the rear gardens-ideal for keeping an eye on children, pets, or the outdoors while preparing meals. The practical layout also includes a good-sized laundry with the added bonus of an extra shower and toilet, while the main bathroom and separate toilet are conveniently positioned off the hallway. Adding exceptional versatility is the semi-detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, perfect for extended family, independent teenagers, guests, or even potential supplementary income (subject to buyer investigations). This self-contained space includes its own kitchen, living room, master bedroom with built-in wardrobe, plus private external access as well as internal access into the main home. For added convenience, the property is serviced by two separate hot water systems, with one dedicated exclusively to the semi-detached residence, allowing both residences to function comfortably and independently. Outside, the property continues to impress. A bitumen driveway leads to a large stand-alone garage featuring a concrete floor and power, with an adjoining lockable workshop shed, also powered-ideal for tradies, hobbyists, or extra storage. The expansive block provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles, trailers, caravans, or boats, offering flexibility rarely found in residential properties. Established fruit trees, grassed areas to both the front and rear, and a generous paved patio create a wonderful outdoor environment for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The gardens are fully reticulated, helping maintain the grounds with ease year-round. Practicality and security have also been thoughtfully considered, with security screens fitted to all doors and windows for added peace of mind.
