64 Duke Street, Northam WA 6401

Beautifully presented and rich in character, this delightful circa-1930 cottage combines timeless Federation charm with modern comfort in one of Northam's most desirable streets. Positioned just moments from the town centre, No 64 Duke Street offers an enviable lifestyle where shops, schools, medical services and the Avon River are all within an easy stroll.

Location is everything and Duke Street has long been one of Northam's most sought-after addresses. With its close proximity to the town centre and an impressive collection of beautiful Federation homes, it's easy to see why so many buyers aspire to call this neighbourhood home.

Built around 1930 at the onset of the Great Depression when residential construction slowed dramatically, this delightful cottage is a reminder that quality craftsmanship and timeless character continued to endure. While modest in scale, houses of this era still embraced many of the features that make pre-War homes so appealing today.

Take a closer look at No 64. Its charming weatherboard/fibro dado exterior, timber verandah posts resting on brick piers, Jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, panel doors, feature interior dado walls and welcoming open fireplace all combine to create a home with warmth, personality and undeniable street appeal.

From the moment you arrive the pretty cottage gardens and inviting front verandah set the tone. Step inside to a welcoming entrance hall where beautifully polished timber floorboards continue into the adjoining dining room. A wide cased opening between the dining room and kitchen enhances both natural light and the sense of space.

The kitchen is exceptionally well presented and features a gas stove so immaculate it appears barely used, a range-hood, dishwasher and an authentic Metters wood-burning stove; a wonderful period feature that could once again take pride of place with the installation of a suitable flue.

At the heart of the home is a generously proportioned lounge room. Trendy barn doors open to a versatile rear vestibule offering endless possibilities. Whether you envision a children's activity area, a home office, reading nook or practical mudroom, the space adapts easily to your lifestyle.

The accommodation comprises two proper bedrooms. One is positioned at the front of the home while the spacious main bedroom is accessed through the third sleeping area, a traditional sleep-out, and enjoys lovely timber French windows opening onto a private rear timber deck, an ideal retreat to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at day's end.

The rear vestibule also opens through timber French windows to a covered timber entertaining deck, elevated above the backyard and providing another inviting space to relax or entertain family and friends.

Set on a 601sqm lot, the property includes a sealed driveway leading through the carport. The backyard provides a blank canvas ready for your landscaping ideas, vegetable garden, workshop or future outdoor entertaining area.

The location is exceptionally convenient. Boulevard Shopping Centre is less than 150 metres away via Duke Lane, while school and medical facilities are even closer. A leisurely 400 metre stroll along Grey Street brings you to the picturesque banks of the Avon River and Bernard Park.

Equally appealing is the home's outstanding presentation. New carpets, near-new blinds, a gleaming kitchen, immaculate bathroom and laundry facilities, a new Zincalume roof, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and an additional split-system air conditioner in the dining room ensure all the hard work has been done.

Simply unlock the front door, move in, unpack and start enjoying everything this charming character home and its enviable location have to offer.
