Working in the city and going home to a leafy, semi-rural idyll with clean air, green spaces and room to spread your wings promotes healthy life balance and wellbeing.
Only 10 minutes' drive from town, this impressive property is rather understated from a curbside view but be prepared for a surprise when you step inside to explore all that is on offer. It consists of a stylishly renovated home set well back from the road behind a screen of tall eucalypts on a peaceful 4,062sqm block, bordered on two sides by farmland.
The land is mostly in grass with native vegetation, a chook run, and several citrus, stonefruit and apple trees. There's ample space for planting veggie gardens and for kids and pets to work off energy.
Behind the house is a large, old shed (approximately 10m x 7.5m) that's great for parking the trailer and storing outdoor gear, and there's plenty of scope for building a big, new shed-workshop and garaging (up to 170 sqm).
The comfortable, versatile home has been extensively modernised to provide excellent amenities and accommodation. Its modest exterior gives only a hint of the impressive transformation that has recently been completed inside and the amenity it provides.
The entrance to the home is warm and inviting. It features smart weatherboard-like cladding to the façade and a bulkhead over the front door.
Timber-look hybrid flooring is fitted in most rooms, which are finished in clean, white décor set off with classy lighting.
A picture window in the lounge and dining area at the front takes in the beautiful, green outlook, while at the back is a sizeable family room or games room with a study nook and built in desk.
With white cabinetry, timber benchtops and a gas cooker, the kitchen is an appealing space with tongue-and-groove wall panelling creating a modern take on a cottage kitchen, and a terrific walk-in pantry adjoining.
The king-sized master bedroom has shelving and hanging space, and the adjacent second bedroom is a large double.
Nearby is the stylish modern bathroom with a bath, double shower, double vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiling. The separate toilet is off the laundry.
The rear of the home offers lots of versatility and is perfect for those needing additional sleeping units. It includes a big sleep out plus two other spaces to use how you choose. This entire area is keep at a comfortable temperature by a wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioner. The front part of the home is warmed by a wood-burning heater - perfect for those cool mornings and evenings throughout the middle of the year.
Exposed-aggregate concrete has been used to great effect on the back patio as well as the front veranda area, which is bordered with attractive jarrah and steel balustrading.
Popular schools and shops are only a few minutes away, so you will enjoy the best of both worlds at this property – a quiet rural lifestyle with the advantage of all services and facilities being located within easy reach.
Furthermore, the City of Albany's Development Approval Exemption Policy applies to this site and the Urban Development zoning offers the potential for subdivision later on (subject to approval by the relevant Authorities).
This is an outstanding property offering a coveted lifestyle without sacrificing city convenience.
