Constructed circa 1900's and impeccably preserved, this beautiful Albany home has been extended to offer modern facilities blending sympathetically with its original character.
The property has a category B listing with the Heritage Council of WA as a significant residence, and displays many original features including jarrah floorboards, deep skirtings, timber doors and sash windows, stained glass and leadlight panels, high ceilings with decorative cornices and roses, and open fireplaces.
Built of brick on granite foundations, it occupies an elevated 1009sqm block near the CBD and takes in a leafy outlook over Lawley Park and out to Princess Royal Harbour, the port and the windfarm from various positions on the property.
