8 Millington Street

Northam WA 6401

If the pace of life in Perth is too fast (or too scary) for your liking, consider relocating to The Shire. We're only 75km from Midvale at the foothills of Greenmount, if you really have to want to visit Perth, which is about a 55 minute drive. Enjoy the slower, calmer lifestyle of Northam and have time to smell the roses.You'll love No 8 Millington because its fastidious owner has taken meticulous care of the house and its surrounds in her long period of ownership. No expense has been spared to maintain the property's comfort and good condition.Step up from the driveway to the rose garden and up again onto the front verandah to reveal the recladding of the walls in a PVC weatherboard material and roof sheeting in very reasonable shape. You'd never imagine that the dwelling was built in the 1950s. Turn around to note the cul-de-sac street which terminates at the banks of the Avon River, the upstream, undeveloped portion where folks like to walk the trusty pooch for daily exercise.Enter the house and from your first glance around the entry hall you'll see quality fittings and love and care for the house. To the right, a lounge room, to the left, three bedrooms, to the right again, a clean, modern kitchen. Floor coverings, window treatments and light fittings are near new. Even the plasterboard walls and ceilings look like they've been replaced.While in the kitchen, note the abundance of storage in bench cupboards, walk-in storage and, when you pass through the kitchen, another room full of cupboard space.The rear of the house has been extended to make room for a lovely, modern, spacious bathroom and adjacent laundry before exiting to a back verandah.If you're accustomed to living on a cramped 5, 6 or 700sqm block of land in the metro area, No 8's land area of 1,688sqm will blow your mind with the possibilities for its use. You'll keep the dust and rain off your shiny car while it's parked in the double roller door lockup garage. You'll find ample room to store garden equipment, or even take up a hobby, in the air conditioned Colorbond workshop with two internal storage rooms and a skillion verandah. There's another older storage shed aviaries and fruit trees down the far back yard.Keep your cool with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, cook-up fabulous meals for the weekend family gatherings in the near new stainless steel gas stove, heat water in the not-too-old instantaneous gas hot water unit.There's a lot to love about No 8 Millington. Don't delay you inspection too long. Homes like these are usually sold in the first couple of weeks of marketing. Call Steve Hill or Lara Turnbull to book a viewing.
