We have a new low price for this old charming house as the seller prepares to relocate to their next destination. If you’ve been sitting back admiring this property, contemplating the idea of owning one of Northam’s character homes, then make your move quickly.

Not unlike the suburb of Mt Lawley – with its central metro location, retail shops and entertainment close by and early 1900s housing construction styles – is 15 Duke Street, Northam.

From this property you can pop down to the train station at the end of the street to catch the AvonLink daily commuter to Perth, walk around the corner for a snack at McDonald’s or let the dog have a run around the town’s oval and recreation centre. You’ll be able to wave goodbye to your children as they cross to the other side of Duke Street to attend Northam Primary School or take a shortcut through St John’s church yard to Coles supermarket and other main street shops and restaurants beyond.

Built in an era when Federation building design was giving way to Art Deco themes, 15 Duke Street still boasts sought after features such as tin roof, high ceilings, tall skirting boards, a long passageway showcasing richly polished jarrah floor boards, French windows.

A wicker front fence and pretty reclaimed red brick crazy paved path lead to the verandah and entrance to the house. Its long, attractive passageway gives access to Bedrooms 1 and 2, a study nook and Bedroom 3. The main bedroom has beautiful natural timber built-in robes. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have reverse cycle air conditioners. Ceiling fans and an old fashioned coal burning fire place are also found.

The house is made for entertaining. A dining room with slow combustion room heater gives guests the opportunity to participate in chef’s duties in the adjoining kitchen or overflow into the adjoining large lounge with open fire place and air conditioner. And if your visitors need a breath of fresh air, French windows from the lounge reveal a secluded court yard.

A secondary entertaining area is in the gigantic rear patio. It’s attached to the rear of the house, has a high gable pitched roof and it’s timber deck is raised above ground level. Twenty people could easily party without rubbing shoulders.

Lastly, there’s a free-standing, air conditioned games room in the rear yard – a perfect place for teenagers to setup a pool table, sofas and wide screen TV.

A dreamy kitchen has timber benchtops complimenting the timber floors in high contrast to the stainless steel appliances which include a dishwasher with independent drawers.

By modern standards, the 769m2 block of land is quite large – plenty of room for a kids’ play equipment area, garden shed, chicken run and pea gravelled driveway to single carport.
