34 Frederick Street, Albany WA 6330

Experience the elegance of a bygone era, while also embracing a modern inner-city lifestyle with entertainment, harbour foreshore attractions and downtown Albany just a short stroll from home.
Situated within Albany's CBD boundary and only 350 metres from York Street, this rare and enigmatic city view 593sqm property holds immense appeal for couples to families and history buffs.
Local resident John Ward bought four blocks of land in 1868 for the grand sum of 10 pounds; the equivalent of $17. He built this home on part of that land in 1870.
The split-level 4x2 residence is now considered by authorities in the field of historic homes, to be one of a significant group of houses in Frederick Street, which have considerable heritage value.
It has not been State heritage listed though, which does allow for some flexibility should you wish to alter the dwelling; however, owners are encouraged to try and retain the integrity of the original building.
With that in mind, it has undergone tasteful renovations and extensions over the years, which has resulted in superb modern living areas, which complement its many original attributes including ornate fireplaces and plasterwork and jarrah floors and high ceilings.
Highlights include an engaging front bedroom and formal lounge or fourth bedroom off the character entry hall and a wonderful separate living and dining area and country kitchen, and modern wet areas and utility room beyond the hallway.

The extension incorporates a vast living room with good access to the wet areas and grounds, and steps to a modern kitchenette and second bathroom enroute to the upstairs bedrooms.
