This home is a beauty! Yes, it is a 3 bed 1 bath home, but it has plenty of extras too.
One of the first things you notice is the bushland views as the home is located across the road from Augusta’s Kings Park. This reserve is becoming famous for the diversity of it’s flora and fauna. Plus there are walk trails all through it, right down to the river. Even if you aren’t keen on trees, it’s better than looking across the road at more houses!
The home has a beautifully renovated living area which incorporates a lounge, a new kitchen and a dining area that opens onto a very large, wind proof, outdoor living area. The kitchen is spacious with room for two people to work together and was built by a local cabinet maker. You will notice the quality. A wood fire in the lounge provides warmth in the cooler months. The three bedrooms are a good size with built in robes and double beds in two of them.
The construction of the home is brick walls with a tile roof. Perhaps a bit old school but it has withstood the test of time with flying colours. The owner has told me the veranda across the front of the home is a very cozy place to sit and read on a winter afternoon.
Outside is a single car (plus some) garage with a long carport in front of it. This creates undercover parking from two or more vehicles and leaves the garage free for secret men’s business. There is another storage shed at the rear. Another paved area at the front of the house allows parking for a caravan (or decent boat).
The gardens are also well designed to minimise work and water needs while still looking smart. The rear section of the property has been developed into a very impressive, and productive, orchard and vege garden. As a buyer you should also know the septic system has been overhauled and new leach drains recently installed.
I strongly urge you to inspect this well appointed, well finished and well priced home.

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.
Augusta is a town on the south west coast of WA and was predominately a tourist town up until the late 1990s when many people chose to retired to the region. The town is known for its major attractions such as Cape Leeuwin "where two oceans meet" and its impressive lighthouse. Augusta is dependent on professional fishing, timber and tourism. There is a local shopping centre in the area and two primary schools - Augusta Primary School and Karridale Primary School, with the closest secondary school Margaret River Senior High School.
