44 Melville Street, Albany WA 6330

Character, views and city convenience make a winning combination at this delightful 1960s home high on Mount Melville.
The property is less than 800 metres from the CBD – close to shops, schools and entertainment, and an easy walk home after a night out.
It has been well preserved and takes in fabulous views over Princess Royal Harbour to Torndirrup while promising a city lifestyle with space to spread out.
Behind a picket fence on an 839sqm block, the fibro and iron home is set in easy-care gardens with low-maintenance plantings at the front while neat lawns contrast with ancient granite outcrops at the rear boundary – perfect vantage points for taking in the views.
Families will love the choice of indoor and outdoor living areas.
A little sunroom provides a cosy spot for looking out over the harbour and shelters the front door, which opens onto a comfortable lounge, warmed by an efficient gas log fire.
Sure to be a popular spot for entertaining and barbecues all year round is the long, covered and tiled patio at the back, with heaps of space for sitting, dining and relaxing.
A key attraction which is bound to be appreciated by all occupants is a freestanding studio or games room, perfect for hobbies, as a workshop or for children to let off steam. This has glass doors, plenty of natural light, and power connected.
The kitchen is a pleasant space with good cabinetry, gas cooking and space for a meals table, and next to this is the dining room with an office or study off one end.
With windows on two sides to make the most of the harbour outlook, the main bedroom is king sized. Next to this is a double with air conditioning and a built-in robe, and the third is also a double.
Driveways on both sides of the house provide ample off-road parking. One leads to a carport; the other to the studio. A toolshed and a cat run make up the outdoor features.
Everything is in goods shape – the property has been well preserved and is nicely presented throughout.
This charming and practical family home is perfect for owner-occupiers of all ages, and would make a highly desirable rental with the potential for excellent returns.
