71 Gordon Street, Northam WA 6401

Distinguished Character Home

Some people might describe this property as being Post Federation era, others might say Pre Art Deco. We believe it’s Federation Bungalow, built in the transition phase from one era to the other. Whatever you label it, can you imagine living in it? A timeless character home on Northam’s most beautiful heritage street?

On an elevated 534sqm block, corner of Gordon & Cody Streets, this property boasts Northam’s best address. It’s super convenient for families as St Joseph’s Primary and High Schools are close by.

It was built around 1930 and has been carefully renovated by its current owner of twelve years. Behind the white picket fence are manicured hedges enclosing the pond and fountain. You’ll love taking your morning tea-break on the front verandah watching and listening to any birdlife that happens to swoop by.

Create an unforgettable first impression stepping from the driveway to the front porch, seeing the curved timber frame and noggins below verandah beams, timber balustrade, French windows, leadlight front door with sidelights. But this is just the beginning.

Inside note the dreamy polished authentic jarrah floor boards throughout most of the house, high ceilings, expensive curtains adorning the windows. The entrance hall is a central hub with doors to formal lounge, kitchen and main bedroom. The lounge features a classic bay window, open fireplace and mantel and a reverse cycle air conditioner if you’re not inclined to light the fire.

An inviting kitchen with room-to-move and ample space for the dining table showcases a stainless steel cooker set-in to a tiled chimney void, generous cabinet and bench-top space, a separate portable timber pantry matching the floor colour.

Wall's have a neutral colour palette which make the 3-panel stile and rail wooden doors with polished brass hardware really stand out. And if you like old fashioned doors, you’ll really love the East facing third bedroom’s glazed double doors to the rear verandah that allow morning sunlight to wake you from your slumber.

Recent minor renovations have taken place in the bathroom which follow the same clean, neutral theme as the kitchen. The house has a ducted evaporative air conditioner, a portable gas room heater and freestanding wardrobes in two bedrooms.

The carport has an electric roller door on its front but its sides and rear are open with brick paving flowing through it and around to the back verandah. You have options of entertaining on the back lawn or temporarily moving the car to the front paving while guests celebrating your birthday sit under the carport.

Watch the Jacaranda trees in the front yard drop their blanket of purple petals in the last months of the year as you enjoy this superb central location. Take the opportunity to make this marvellous home yours by calling Steve Hill or Courtney Hughes for an inspection.
