Situated on a quiet residential street at the Northern end of town, this double brick home built in 1979 on a large 915 sqm level block has established reticulated gardens.
The home has a 16 solar panel system on its roof and an effective hot water system, both of which can reduce the running costs of the home.
The interior feels spacious due to two separate living areas plus an enclosed sun room looking out onto rear BBQ patio area and gardens. Centrally is a tiled kitchen and adjoining dining area. The second sitting (TV) room has a wood fire enclosed stove and a split system reverse cycle air-conditioner. The three carpeted bedrooms, two with built in robes, a large partially renovated bathroom, a separate toilet with side access complete the package.
The rear garden includes fruit trees and a landscaped garden area with established rhubarb plants and plenty of room ready for cultivation of any other sort of home grown produce.
There is a large shed/garage with a long work bench and plenty of space for tinkering as well as garaging a car and placing second refrigerators or freezers. There is also a paved parking space for a second car, boat or (low profile) caravan.
A very neat and functional home that will suit first home buyers, retirees or holiday makers looking for an inexpensive second home option in beautiful Augusta.

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.
