Albany WA 6330

History Lovers Rejoice!This stunning home was originally constructed in the late 1800's then relocated to sit above its local granite, lower level on Spencer Street around 1901. Oregon Pine is a feature to not only the external cladding, but internal wall and ceiling linings as well. The home was carefully restored and renovated by it's current owners in the late 1990's and used as a family home. It is now a thriving short-term accommodation property.Stunning views over Princess Royal Harbour, Albany town centre and out to Mount Melville are a real highlight, while the ability to walk too just about everything is incredibly convenient. Properties such as this are highly sought after and hold a special place in the story of WA's first settlement.The home is immediately recognisable by its distinctive facade and angle to the street. Vertical timbers in the gable are capped with an elegant finial, while beneath the wrap-around verandah the original French doors and intricate balustrades are charming features. Inside the home, there is so much to take in; from timber linings and polished floorboards, to fireplaces, stone and raw brick walls, plus pressed tin ceilings downstairs. With three living areas, six bedrooms and a dining room, there is so much flexibility and potential. The renovated kitchen features a scullery and there are two renovated bathrooms.
