SWEEPING HARBOUR TO CITY PANORAMA
Secure this lasting legacy of 1890s residential architecture in Western Australia's magnificent south coast city of Albany.
This enchanting, well-maintained C1891 WA Heritage Council and National Trust listed property enjoys a prominent Albany CBD hillside position, with sweeping hinterland, harbour to city and sunset vistas.
The current owner has been its custodian for 34 years. The prominent builder William Trott, also lived here until 1910.
The cottage was built at a time of Albany's growth due to construction of the Great Southern Railway.
This property was originally part of a bigger land holding bought and subdivided by a farmer.
The captivating two-level cottage set on a low-upkeep, gently sloping garden lot features English, Victorian and Georgian influences, which define its cultural heritage significance.
The stunning Flemish Bond external brickwork was rarely used in Albany.
Other outstanding finishes include high ceilings, solid timber floors, elegantly turned staircase balusters and newel posts, ornate plaster and superb cast-iron and stone work and brick quoins and lintels.
Surrounded by similar era properties, this jewel contributes significantly to the community's sense of place.
The classic street level facade offers a hint of what lays behind the entry doors.
Appreciate the elegant staircase, two glorious bedrooms including one with an ornate fireplace and past BnB approval, and a sunlit, view-framed and doubled glazed window sunroom near one of the bathrooms.
Downstairs is a refined lounge room with a beautiful fire place featuring ''Esperance Pink Granite'' hearth and surround with craftsman made rounded fire screen, a study nook and third bedroom with a fireplace.
The rear modern kitchen and combined wet areas flow to the restful backyard.
There is also a shed and undercroft storage, and parking available.
History in your hands awaits.
