High on Stirling Street, number 29 has watched over Northam since the 1930s. There’s a story in this home and it begins at the letterbox.
A pink blooming hedge runs along the front, bringing colour, charm and a little privacy. Follow the garden path and come spring you’ll soon be surrounded by roses in bloom as you wander, climb the steps to the front porch and the wisteria takes over, twisting its way along the posts and rails.
The porch stretches across the front of the home and around to the lounge room’s French doors - the perfect spot for a morning coffee or watching the sun rise over the landscape.
Step inside and a wide hallway leads you through the heart of the house, with generous rooms opening off either side. Big windows take in the elevated views across town, filling the home with light and a wonderful sense of space.
There are three bedrooms, a separate office and plenty of room to live, with split system air conditioning throughout. The kitchen has been thoughtfully modernised with ample bench space and cabinetry, while the bathroom has also been updated. There’s a toilet inside, plus another outside for added convenience.
Out the back, a paved courtyard catches the sunshine and sits alongside the enclosed outdoor laundry.
Down the side of the property, the driveway leads up and around to the shed and workshop, a practical bonus with three-phase power, plenty of room for parking and space to tinker, create or simply store everything that comes with life. Solar panels and two inverters add another welcome touch for the energy conscious..
And then there’s the garden.
Wrapped in established ivy, it’s full of shady little corners, places to sit and read, hide away with a cuppa or simply enjoy day to day.
Like any home with a few decades behind it, there are corners where a new owner might add their own touch, make a few updates or bring a little more of their personality to the walls.
But the character is already here.
The stories are already here.
And after more than 90 years watching over Northam, the next chapter of 29 Stirling Street is ready to be written.
