Untouched by time and brimming with original character, this weatherboard home is a rare chance to secure a genuine piece of Albion’s past. Its details have been preserved for decades: soaring ceilings with picture rails, polished timber floorboards, ornate fretwork and a kitchen that still holds its enamel wood stove and leadlight dresser.
The home sits within a streetscape significant to Albion’s heritage. It offers rich rewards to buyers ready to restore it to its former glory. The approx. 843sqm allotment has a generous 18.5m frontage and rear laneway access, so the scope is exceptional: a sympathetic renovation, a contemporary extension, or redevelopment of the rear (all STCA).
The home comprises three bedrooms, a separate formal lounge, a central bathroom and a kitchen/meals area with original built-in cabinetry. Outside, there’s a separate laundry, a studio room, three large sheds, an expansive undercover alfresco area with brick paving, and sprawling lawns. It’s an ideal setup for the trades enthusiast, a growing family or a future development plan.
Then there’s the location. St Theresa’s Primary School, Albion Primary School, Albion Kindergarten and Albion Train Station are all just a short stroll away, so daily life is easy. Selwyn Park is moments down the road, perfect for an afternoon walk with the dog. Local favourites Sadie Black Cafe, Mitko Deli and Elephant Cafe are close by for weekend coffee or a catch-up with family and friends.
