A short walk from York Street, this charming Mt Clarence home occupies an elevated position on a 908sqm block, from where it takes in panoramic views from the wind farm, to Mt Melville, across the town and beyond to Albany's eastern hinterland.
The home has been renovated - and a dining room added - to meet a modern family's needs while preserving its 1950s character features. Wide timber floorboards throughout the original part of the home show it off beautifully, and ornate cornices and ceiling roses, a decorative fireplace in the living room and sash windows are from its earliest days.
A sheltered seating deck at the front makes an inviting introduction to the home. From here, the main entrance is into the living room, where a wide corner window lets in lots of light and the lovely views.
This room flows through to the kitchen, featuring a chef's five-burner gas stove with a wide oven, and attractive cabinets. A serving hatch opens the kitchen to the dining room, an addition to the original home with windows on three sides to take in beautiful garden views.
A hallway off the lounge leads to the bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom is a good-sized double and two at the back of the house feature corner windows with a lovely outlook to the garden. One has built-in shelving; another has hanging space and overhead storage.
Along the hallway is a renovated bathroom with a deep bath and big shower, a separate toilet, and three linen cupboards.
The back garden can be accessed from the laundry, which has a convenient built-in bench with a recess for the washing machine, and tall cupboards.
Clean and tidy and well presented, the home has been renovated to a very good standard. Outside, the features continue with a single undercroft garage incorporating workshop space with power, and plenty of secure storage for the golf clubs and bikes.
Another major attraction of this property is the block - ideal for outdoor living and entertaining and a natural playground for the children.
While the current owners are keen gardeners, they have wisely designed it to keep maintenance to a reasonable level, retaining mature native trees and bushes for privacy and summer shade. A neat lawn and flower beds at the front give the home street appeal, while at the rear are lovely areas of lawn, various sheltered nooks for sitting out and enjoying the bird life, and a gazebo - the perfect spot for a barbecue.
This is an attractive property, which also enjoys many advantages of its location, being so close to schools, cafes, restaurants, shops, sporting and medical facilities and entertainment venues. To see it is to love it.
