Surveying the magnificent harbour, hinterland and city landscape from your front verandah, deck and living space will be just one of the joys of owning this character property only a short stroll from Albany’s historic CBD.
Built in 1910, the weatherboard and iron home has been lovingly restored, renovated and extended since, seamlessly combining modernity with original early 20th century charm from the Federation-style archways, picture rails and high ceilings, to the glorious jarrah floorboards. The home really does have a tremendous ambience – light, bright, and airy, yet luxurious and stylish.
Downstairs offers a delightful lobby leading to a contemporary king-size bedroom with water views, ensuite, walk in robes, and direct access to a private patio. With the addition of a kitchenette this level can very easily be converted to self-contained accommodation perfect for guests, or short-stay accommodation.
Walking up the stairs leads you to an enchanting sitting area which is fully glazed to maximize the panoramic views. This is the ideal spot to take in a meal or a coffee, or just relax and gaze over a sunset over the windfarm, Princess Royal Harbour and Albany’s historical architecture, and also provides access to a front verandah taking in the same outlook.
An imposing 15-metre passage flows to all beautiful corners of the remainder of the home. With views stretching from the harbour right across town, the open plan kitchen, dining and living area is something to behold. The four elegant bedrooms on this level are all king or queen size, three have built in robes, and both the large bathroom and laundry towards the back of the home are well-designed and presented. Above the living area, a large attic space is plenty big enough to host additional living quarters, and plans have previously been approved by council for this purpose.
The property also features a large alfresco at the rear, ideal for entertaining in any weather, leading to picturesque cottage gardens. Other features of the property include: dual gas instant hot water systems, under-house storage, and a rainwater tank.
This truly is a wonderful property presenting a unique opportunity to purchase a part of Albany’s history, in a spectacular central location.
