Tastefully blending an impressive modern design and elegant finishing with a nod to vintage styling, this lovely Mt Melville home will delight couples, singles, or out-of-towners looking for an easy-care city bolthole.
It has everything people need from their urban home, with the emphasis on convenience and comfort.
Tucked away at the back of the block, the home looks a treat with its façade of brick, rendered ivory panels and a grey tile roof.
An art deco-inspired timber and leadlight front door makes a fine entrance to the home. The inside follows up with similarly well-chosen design features such as an ornamental ceiling rose, pressed tin wall panels and a decorative arch in the hallway, while the timber flooring here continues throughout most of the home.
An open living area comprises the lounge and dining space. Glass doors pull back to reveal a connection to the outdoors, where a delightful, sheltered deck has shade blinds for year-round protection from the weather.
A stainless steel chef’s stove features in the kitchen, which also has a dishwasher and attractive white cabinetry with charcoal bench-tops.
Plush carpet is fitted in the bedrooms. At the front, the master is king-sized with an en suite shower room and a walk-in robe, and the other two bedrooms are both doubles with built-in robes.
A clever space-saving feature is the combination of the laundry with the main bathroom. Tiling and lighting suit the style of the well-maintained home and the décor is in clean, neutral tones.
In addition to the double garage, which has internal access to the hall, there is off-road parking for two vehicles at the front.
A major drawcard for some is the small area of garden, which needs little attention.
About 2.5km from Albany’s CBD, the property is close to the leisure and aquatic centre and a few minutes’ drive to the fishing jetty and pristine swimming beaches.
