80 Gordon Street, Northam WA 6401

Timeless Elegance

Welcome to your opportunity to be the next custodian of "Rose House". Originally built in the early 1900s for one of the prominent family's of Northam the property has a generational story to tell.

A stone and brick construction established across two titles of land, this inner township property truly has room to grow further, with the land approximately 2682 square metres in size. Of additional benefit is rear lane access and a zoning of R30.

Afforded privacy from Gordon street by established hedging, the entrance to the property walks you through a courtyard to the return verandah framing the house.

Step inside and experience the features of early era homes – high ceilings, polished floors, fireplaces, ornate doors, leadlight windows and chandeliers to name a few.

Step through the front doors and a grand three-metre wide hallway bisects the house with three generous sized bedrooms and two bathrooms on one side and the grand ballroom and kitchen the other. With doors opening out to the verandah from many of these rooms a viewer can quickly see how the house is elevated over the back of the property and harnesses the surrounding garden and broader landscape.

Stairs from the back verandah lead you down to a large under croft that is currently used as a bedroom space but would make a great cellar or unique dining/entertaining space. A lower door takes you out to the garden and a new owner will benefit from the significant work undertaken by the current owner and be able to watch the grounds flourish over time.

Outdoor entertaining is catered to with the outdoor kitchen discreetly located beneath the canopy of established trellis and adjacent the inground swimming pool.

Further down the property and the old mixes with the new. The old stables stand side by side with the modern double roller door garage, the garage enabling access from the rear laneway for vehicles.

"Rose House" is a special house. Whilst it is not on the State or Municipal Heritage list it is seen as a house of historical significance to the story of Northam. The house has had some renovation work completed over time and as with any house of this age the renovation will be an ongoing "labour of love".
