In need of some cosmetic improvement, you'll be able to whip this solidly stone built home into shape in no time and without breaking the bank. Full of character features including high ornate ceilings and fixtures of the 50s this home will delight and entice. A fantastic project for the savvy minded that enjoy interior design challenges and would like to preserve some yesteryear features perhaps.

If you've dreamt of combining contemporary flare with period features, then this will be a heartfelt project for you; with the perks of adding tremendous value along the way. This home has been built to become a classic well into the future.

Neat street frontage lures you up the steps to the front balcony where you enter the home into a spacious lounge room.
The views are exposed through two sets of windows here allowing natural light to flow in abundance. A built-in gas fire place has a granite stone surround that you could revive to create a gorgeous ambience or take the easy route and use the reverse cycle air conditioner instead. Relax in your recliner, feel the warmth from the fire and look out upon the night lights across the city.

Opposite the lounge you'll find a double bedroom with original jarrah floors, ornate cornices with high ceilings as well as Porongurup views. This bedroom would make a great parents room as it is separate from the rest of the bedrooms adding privacy as well as direct access to the lounge for movie time once the children have gone to bed.

The kitchen has dual entrances from both the lounge and the hallway, is spacious and square in shape, ideal for 360 benchtops and cupboards with a central dining table perhaps. The sink below the window makes the daily chores of washing-up more exciting with city views for distraction.

From here a hallway links two further double bedrooms with original jarrah floors and character features. Continue forwards and the hallway opens-up into another living space that has direct access through sliding doors to the undercover patio. This is an area that could be created into an additional entertaining space utilising the existing wide benchtop and storage solution. Or perhaps an ideal games or playroom for the kids with ideal access to the securely fenced patio to extend a child's play area with convenience and peace of mind.

Completing the picture are low-maintenance gardens, an extra-long driveway with the space to fit 6 cars with ease that leads up to the double auto garage/workshop.

First homebuyers or investors chasing sunny-side properties in historical sought-after pockets of Albany should certainly take a closer look at this delightful character home situated on a 548sqm lot in a quiet street.

Here you'll find yourself in prime location to all amenities, major shopping centres and healthcare facilities. Enjoy a gentle stroll and in less than 5 minutes you can find yourself on trendy York Street to explore the cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques.

Cycle, walk or drive to school and work, the choice is yours. Why not stroll home in your lunch hour and spend some time with your loved ones.
