This property is so versatile it offers many opportunities to the new owner.
The corner block has frontage to two roads and its size is gigantic at 1,917sqm zoned by the Shire Of Northam as R30 so opportunity exists to subdivide the surplus land at the rear of the dwelling creating a second lot facing Kennedy Street.
Don’t think that a subdivision will cramp your style as there’ll still be oodles of space at the right, front and left side of the dwelling for the kids to play or dog to run, for the veggie patch or orchard, for a shed or outbuildings.
I just adore these 1960s Italian built homes. Australian architecture never put a label on houses of this period but I call it the Austere Era as some people say they are a little plain and unadorned but many see them as rock-solidly built with generous proportions.
No 51 stands up proud on its sloping block. The dwelling takes advantage of the slope by having an under-croft garage and short carport area that lies beneath the kitchen, dining and verandah sections of the floor plan. A doorway from the garage reveals another room that mirrors the lounge room above. A bit of a reno to this room would covert it to workshop, craft room, games room or… wine cellar !!
Steps up from the concrete driveway lead to the front verandah that gets wider as it returns around to a sliding glass door to the dining room. Fling open this door and your dinner party can break-out to the verandah for pre or post dinner drinks and snack while soaking up the views.
Built in 1969, the brick and tile home is really roomy; high ceilings, long and wide entry hall, 3 good sized bedrooms, large open plan kitchen/dining, even bigger lounge room, plenty of natural light through the abundance of windows, a full width back verandah with staircase down to the rear entry door of the garage.
If light and bright, space and openness is what you’re looking for, call Steve Hill or Courtney Hughes for an inspection today.
