From this family home high on the hill in Mira Mar, you could sit and admire the view of Middleton Bay from the lounge or front patio - or take the short drive to Middleton Beach and dive into the water.
The solid brick and tile home is also within easy reach of schools, shops and recreation and medical facilities - all those important factors for families wanting an easy life.
While the property would benefit from modernisation, it is perfectly livable as it is, which offers options to suit many types of home buyer.
You could buy and renovate now or live in it and do it up as you go, adding value to realise later. Or you could add it to your investment portfolio, rent it out and renovate when you're ready. It's the sort of property that appeals as much to renters as owner-occupiers, so finding tenants should be easy. You could potentially get $360 per week rental return.
You might even reconfigure the layout and carry out a major transformation, because this is a select 680sqm block right at the top of Seymour Street, which would have been one of Albany's top vantage points when it was developed in the late 1970s.
Either way, the rewards are there for an astute buyer recognising the potential of this appealing property as well as the realistic price.
The home is in sound condition, and it's clean and tidy.
At the front is the lounge, a comfortable room with a wood fire and two full-length windows letting in plenty of light and those coveted water views.
This leads through to the kitchen and dining area, where glass sliding doors open onto an activity room.
The bedrooms are off a hallway from the front door. The master at the front is a generous room with an en suite bathroom and walk-in robe, and the other two are good-sized doubles with built-in robes.
At the back of the house are the bathroom with bath, shower and vanity, and the laundry and toilet.
Reached via the back garden, but still part of the house, is a big, versatile room. Every home should have one of these. It's a brilliant space with a multitude of uses - as a teens' retreat or workshop, or for hobbies, games, parties and sleepovers. And it makes an excellent secure storage room for bikes, golf clubs, kayaks and toys.
Also in the enclosed back garden is a paved, undercover patio, as well as a lawn for the children, two garden sheds and a veggie patch.
There's off-road parking for four vehicles, plus space in the back yard for a caravan or trailer, reached via double gates from the driveway at the side of the house.
In a desirable suburb close to the city, this family home has so much to offer now, and an owner investing time and effort to give it a facelift will reap the rewards many times over.
