If you’re a First Home Buyer who’s been searching for an affordable home in metropolitan area but you simply can’t catch a break with Perth’s median sale price overshooting the $700,000 mark and the stiff competition from other hungry buyers in the market… then set your radar on Northam and 38 Perina Way particularly.
The corner block has a wide frontage to two roads and is almost a quarter acre in size; 913sqm in fact. The land is zoned R30 and its rates are about $1,520 and $1,499pa to the Shire and Water Corp.
The residence was built around 1950 of fibro and tile construction and has been well cared for and well maintained by its owner who was probably the one and only owner-occupier since the house was originally built.
There are three bedrooms, the third having two doors; one to the passage, the other from the laundry. The lounge room is in open plan format with the kitchen and this area has, in addition to the ducted evaporative air conditioner, a split system reverse cycle AC and a Vulcan oil room heater.
There’s a front porch and rear sunroom; great for a kids’ activity area or just sit with morning coffee and watch the world go by. Bonuses are in the double carport with concrete drive and cross-over, garden shed and good boundary fencing.
Many of the ceilings appear to have been replaced, likewise many of the old timber window frames have been replaced with aluminium frames and the electrical wiring has been upgraded too. Good quality window blinds and curtains, floor coverings and paintwork make for a very comfy dwelling.
Really, for the budget conscious, this home can be moved into and enjoyed immediately with decor changes to come later as the household savings allow. So don’t delay, call Steve Hill or Courtney Hughes for an inspection.
