223 South Coast Highway, Gledhow WA 6330

If you're thinking of stepping up to a bigger property but don't want the oversized castle to go with it, then this little gem just minutes from town is ready to go.

Located just past the five kilometre post out of Albany, this neat three bedroom brick and tile home sits on a spacious acre of level land. It is a rare find so close to town.

Established peppermint trees and native shrubs offer all the privacy you'd expect with a bigger block and the house is also well set back from the front boundary.

The front gardens are set up for minimal maintenance and there is plenty of scope to put your own creative touch to work here.

The double garage under the main roof enjoys access to the rear of the home so you can get the shopping in without getting wet.

It also has excellent clearance to accommodate a decent four-wheel-drive.

The full-length concrete driveway also means you won't be dragging in any mud on your Mickey T's.

Inside, the house has a comfortable charm that is evident from the moment you walk in the door.

The welcoming lounge room features a large north-facing window that allows plenty of natural light to spill in. The tile fire and its handy little wood box are ready and waiting to make the place cosy on those wintery nights.

Double bi-fold doors through to the kitchen and dining area offer the flexibility of closing off the lounge area for a bit of peace and quiet and keeping the new Fujitsu reverse cycle air conditioner from working overtime.

Sure, the kitchen has seen a few design fads come and go, but it features a practical and well thought-out layout, with everything in all the right places.

And there is storage aplenty, with handy above-bench storage compartments, excellent under-bench cupboards and a generous double-door pantry.

The big winner here is the height of the extensive benchtops. That extra bit of height makes all the difference as you cook up a storm.

The bedrooms are all located off a nice wide hallway and are generous in size, with nice wide windows to let the sunlight flow in.

The large master bedroom is nicely appointed with full-length decorative wardrobes and offers excellent storage.

All of the rooms are conveniently located from the spacious bathroom that includes a bath, shower and nice wide vanity and makes use of the solar hot water system.

Out the back, the property really starts to shine. The massive back yard is what it's all about.
The full-length quality patio adjacent to the kitchen and dining area, will see out plenty of Christmas lunches and family celebrations.

It overlooks the spacious level lawn area where the cricketers have more than enough room to take a bag of wickets off a long run up, or play a decent cover drive.

The Zincalume shed is a winner too. It is 7.5m x 9m and has all the height clearance you'll need to roll in the caravan or boat through the side-access gate next to the home.

The beauty of an established property like this is all the infrastructure that comes with it. The wood shed, the chook run, the fruit trees and the vegie patch.
All the hard work has been done and it just needs a couple of Sundays to spruce it up.

The fenced-off rear section of the block is a bonus too. Its towering established trees offer privacy and add to the pleasant green-tinged outlook. It's hard to believe this one acre property is so close to town, with the nearest school and shops are even closer and at this price it's sure to get snapped up quick.
