Charm & Character
Tucked away in a quiet suburban area of Augusta is this charming home with an atmosphere reminiscent of cottage sitting in the middle of a beautiful little village. There may even be elves in the garden.
In reality, Augusta is the village, but the cottage atmosphere remains and I challenge you to come and see for yourself.
The home has three living areas, a lounge room, a kitchen meals area and a lovely sitting room with big north facing windows overlooking the garden. There are three generous bedrooms with the master having a walk in robe. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as a craft room.
At the rear of the home, and opening off the sitting room, is a big, north facing, covered patio that captures the winter sun and shelters the area from the summer winds. The mature garden is lovely. It is an easy care area with dappled shade and splashes of colour.
The property generally seems to be in good condition with little work to do in the short term. There is an air conditioner in the living area and rain water tank at the back of the home.
Alongside the home is a drive through garage with a large carport in front of it that would be an ideal covered parking area for a boat or caravan.
These charming homes do not come along very often and I urge you to view the property to satisfy yourself of the comfortable atmosphere in this home.

Augusta overview
The most south westerly town in the state, Augusta was named by Gov. Sir James Stirling in May 1830. Until 2003 it was thought the name honoured Princess Augusta Sophia, second daughter of King George III and Queen Charlotte. In 2003 the book "James Stirling - Admiral and Founding Governor of Western Australia" a letter by James Turner is referred to which states "a town is purposed to be built named Augusta, County of Sussex, in compliment to the Duke". Princess Augusta Sophia died unmarried, and the "Duke" is most likely the Duke of Sussex, Augustus Frederick (Hanover), the 6th son of George III. He married Lady Augusta Murray in 1793, but the marriage was deemed a violation of the Royal Marriage Act, and was declared null and void in 1794. Lady Augusta Murray is most likely the person after whom Augusta is named.
