Overview
12 Purkiss Drive, Northam, WA, 6401
Set on an elevated 5,218 square meter block on the peaceful outskirts of Northam, this solid and spacious property offers a rare opportunity to secure a private family haven with ample room for everyone.
Perfectly designed for multi-generational living, this unique home combines comfort, flexibility, quality craftsmanship, and country-style charm, all while remaining conveniently close to town.
Positioned back from Purkiss Drive and surrounded by long-term residents in a quiet, highly respectable street, the home offers privacy and tranquillity in equal measure.
Enjoy peaceful mornings watching hot air balloons drift across the sky, while taking in the beautiful, elevated outlook over the surrounding area. The elevated position also captures lovely breezes, enhancing the home's relaxed and peaceful atmosphere year-round.
Built in 1989 with durable double brick and iron construction, the property was thoughtfully designed and built with quality, longevity, and practicality in mind. The home was engineered to earthquake code standards, showcasing the care and attention invested in its construction.
All finishes were completed by family tradesmen to a specification exceeding standard residential expectations, reportedly aligned with higher-quality government public building standards.
The main residence features three generously sized bedrooms, all complete with built-in robes, and comfortable carpet throughout. Attractive bay windows to the front add character and fill the spacious front lounge room with natural light, creating a warm and inviting central living space.
The combined kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, with the kitchen overlooking the rear gardens—ideal for keeping an eye on children, pets, or the outdoors while preparing meals.
The practical layout also includes a good-sized laundry with the added bonus of an extra shower and toilet, while the main bathroom and separate toilet are conveniently positioned off the hallway.
Adding exceptional versatility is the semi-detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, perfect for extended family, independent teenagers, guests, or potential supplementary income (subject to buyer investigations). This self-contained space includes its own kitchen, living room, master bedroom with built-in wardrobe, plus private external access as well as internal access into the main home.
For added convenience, the property is serviced by two separate hot water systems, with one dedicated exclusively to the semi-detached residence, allowing both residences to function comfortably and independently.
Outside, a bitumen driveway leads to a large stand-alone garage featuring a concrete floor and power, with an adjoining lockable workshop shed, also powered—ideal for tradies, hobbyists, or extra storage.
The expansive block provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles, trailers, caravans, or boats, offering flexibility rarely found in residential properties.
Established fruit trees, grassed areas to both the front and rear, and a generous paved patio create a wonderful outdoor environment for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The gardens are fully reticulated, helping maintain the grounds with ease year-round.
Practicality and security have been thoughtfully considered, with security screens fitted to all doors and windows for added peace of mind.
Properties offering genuine dual-living flexibility on land of this size are increasingly difficult to find, making this a truly rare opportunity in today's market.
Despite its quiet semi-rural feel, convenience is still close at hand:
- Approx. 3km to Northam town centre
- Approx. 76km to Midland
- Approx. 83km to Perth Airport
- Quick access to Great Eastern Highway
Whether you are seeking space for a growing family, room for multiple generations under one roof, or simply a peaceful lifestyle property with excellent accessibility, this versatile home delivers a truly special opportunity.
