34 Serpentine Rd offers a unique and exclusive lifestyle in an incredible central location. Not only can you own a magnificent character home that has been updated to provide stylish modern living, you also get not one but two self-contained ancillary accommodations for rental income, friends and family, a generous garage and workshop, and a large block with two access points that can be easily subdivided if you wish. All this in a superb central location with views to the clock tower and harbour, and within walking distance of your favorite eateries, coffee stops, and shops in town.
The main home is absolutely superb. Built by the Albany Postmaster in 1886, it brings all the warmth and soul you can only find in buildings of this age, seamlessly updated and renovated to provide stylish and warm modern living. Think footworn floorboards, super-high ceilings and incredible plasterwork combined with big open living spaces and abundant natural light, with clean modern lines. Not only does the home have an amazing style, it is in brilliant condition with very solid structure and everything maintained beautifully.
This is a one off indeed offering a unique and embracing lifestyle.
