5 Cuthbert Street

Albany WA 6330

The 684sqm corner property is situated in a small, quiet backstreet only a couple of minutes' walk from the hub of Albany's CBD. Restaurants, cafes, shops, entertainment and more are almost at your doorstep.
This property is so versatile it would suit either people wanting a private home convenient to just about everything you could imagine, or investors looking for a property in an area that will attract plenty of tenants.
The home was also previously adapted to create office space and a waiting room, and has a large adjoining room with its own external entry.
There are therefore great prospects for a business premises or home-based business.
The block has off-street parking and a big rear workshop and extra storage. The corner location may also lend itself to other vehicle access points or home extensions, depending on your plans.
The rendered home is solid but there is no denying it needs a revamp, but the effort would be worth it. It has solid timber floors, high ceilings and wide skirting boards throughout most rooms, offering plenty of scope to make the most of these original features.
The front verandah has a lovely gable portico and main front stained glass door, which opens to a long central passage with high ceilings and wonderful Baltic pine flooring.
Right of the entry is what could be the main bedroom or cosy formal lounge, which has an ornate fireplace currently boarded up and built-in storage either side. Opposite is a second good-sized bedroom. The end of the passage reveals a spacious open living area with built-in slow combustion wood heater, ornate cornices and timber floors. This leads right, into a large room, which could either be transformed into an elegant separate dining room, extended living space or superb third bedroom.
Beyond the living space is a country-style kitchen presenting ample space for a fantastic remodel to incorporate a meals area.
The wet areas are left of the existing kitchen. Adjoining the side of the home is the spacious games room, teenage retreat, studio or office with its own entry point.
