From its strategic position on the side of Mount Clarence, this appealing property takes in magnificent panoramic views over Princess Royal Harbour to Torndirrup National Park, around to the wind farm, back to Mount Melville and over the town of Albany.
It's a few minutes' walk to the city centre where all the action is – shops, cafés, restaurants, and events – as well as being within walking distance of excellent schools. In fact, being in the Albany Primary School and Albany Senior High School zoning will ensure this property is well sought after.
The established home was designed to make the most of the outlook, with big windows on two walls in the lounge and another in the dining area presenting different spectacular aspects of Albany and its coastal setting.
Built high on its 890sqm block, the brick and tile home has an undercroft garage and plenty more off-road parking, including gated access to the backyard for stowing the trailer or caravan.
The backyard is fenced and mostly in lawn, and there's a lawn at the front, while the gardens are easy care with native trees and shrubs.
Rooms are well proportioned, from the sunny lounge with a gas heater to the adjoining dining area with the kitchen at one side, and two of the three big bedrooms are at the front for a share of the view.
The kitchen – with white cabinetry and gas cooking – and the bathroom have undergone modernisation in recent years, and although carpets are dated, they are in good condition and any improvements could be done while the occupants lived there. This also means the place could be leased just as it is for rental investors to maximise their return.
For buyers with greater aspirations of redevelopment, this solid home is an excellent proposition for further investment to transform it into a state-of-the-art residence worthy of its location and outlook or there is the potential for subdivision.
