This centrally located house has been lovingly restored and is ready to offer a fantastic lifestyle to its next owners.
Built in 1905, and thoughtfully updated over the years, this Grey St East home is mere minutes away from York St. Walk in for work, shopping and dining options, and retreat back to the quiet home at the end of each day.
From the front gate you enter a paved courtyard and step up onto the timber porch. The view captures central Albany, Town Hall, plus the glistening harbour waters and this looks a lovely place to sit each morning.
Behind the front door is a beautiful hallway, setting the tone for the entire house. High, ornate ceilings, jarrah floorboards, pendant lighting and picture rails combine to create a charming feel.
Two bedrooms are found off this passage, both complete with original fireplaces they can easily accommodate queen beds and robes. The front room would also make a lovely sitting room, while its location also lends itself to an ideal home office space.
At the end of the hallway, a large laundry with timber benchtops is located. To the back of this room sits a toilet and modern, open shower and vanity.
As you step up from the hallway you enter a delightful kitchen, dining and lounge area. The galley style kitchen is brand new, again with timber benchtops. High-end induction cooktop, electric oven and concealed rangehood have just been installed, and there is a half-size dishwasher tucked under the bench. A walk-in pantry offers an appliance bench and further storage while the dining space opposite the kitchen is lovely.
A quiet lounge living is behind the kitchen, complete with double doors that open to the outdoor area and flood sunlight into the home.
Upstairs you discover an amazing master bedroom, carpeted underfoot with built-in wardrobing and a small sitting area. The front windows offer unrivalled views over the harbour, and a generous ensuite provides a shower, toilet and vanity.
Behind the house is a paved patio, and a private terraced garden. It has an olive tree and lemon tree, and a cottage garden in the reticulated beds. A back gate leads to the off-street parking space, and brick paving pathway returns you to the front courtyard.
This home could be used for short-stay accommodation, pending approvals. Alternatively, enjoy all the best of historic Albany yourself from this charming turn-of-century home.
