Rowley House

Introducing Rowley House, a stunning federation home filled with heritage charm and tasteful modern enhancements including an expansive second story extension. The home's prominent, elevated position offers scenic views across the city and harbour and the bustling CBD is just a short walk away. Currently operating as a lucrative holiday accommodation property, this is your opportunity to occupy or invest in a piece of Albany's history.

Said to have been built by a ship captain in the early 1900s, the house is very recognisable by its early federation styling with Queen Anne influences. The asymmetrical façade and stone retaining walls contributes greatly to the heritage aesthetics of neighborhood.

Stone steps lead to an inviting front porch where the original timber entry door and hardware are still in place. The mosaic floor tiles, salvaged from the St Joseph's Church, are a beautiful feature enhancing the period styling.

Inside, the two front living rooms provide a formal sitting area with bay window seat and cosy wood fire, and a more contemporary TV room with built in wall unit and shelving.

Down the hall, a superb kitchen contains a sleek black Falcon cooker and a custom island bench crafted from thick Jarrah timbers. A wall of classic style cabinetry provides ample storage for occasional crockery and pantry items while banks of draws under additional stone worktops are perfect for everyday items.

The dining area with large glass doors opens to a sunny garden courtyard which further extends to a lovely sitting area at the front of the property.

Two of the four bedrooms are located on the entry level along with a stylish main bathroom featuring a huge walk-in linen/storage room showcases eye catching wallpaper, a modern freestanding bath plus an open shower with ceiling mounted shower rose.

The second story addition contains another two large bedrooms, each with robes and individual decked areas opening to the back lawn and terraced garden. A bright, modern bathroom services this level of the home.

At the rear of the property, a lined, double auto garage is accessed via a side lane to provide secure off-street parking. With such an amazing water view on offer this space could also be utilized as a studio or workshop. A large lawn area with sunken trampoline provides a surprising and private outdoor space for pets and children while the terraced garden levels and pathway soften the incline from the home to the garage.
