Security, privacy and peace of mind would be yours if you chose to make your new home at this neat-as-a-pin unit just four minutes’ drive from the centre of Albany. Everything is in apple-pie order, so you could just nestle in and enjoy a carefree lifestyle from day one. Perfect for singles or couples who appreciate having others close by without sacrificing their own space, the freestanding brick and tile unit is one of only eight in the attractive, quiet complex, each well separated from its neighbours. It sits in gardens of neatly trimmed shrubs and native bushes, though there’s enough land on the 347sqm strata titled lot for green-thumbed owners to also indulge their passion and grow veggies, herbs and cottage plants instead. Smartly presented from the front, the home is a real treat once you step inside. The main entrance opens onto a cosy lounge with air conditioning and a full-length window to let in plenty of sunlight and a lovely outlook – it’s facing east, so you could see beautiful sunrises over Gull Rock National Park. The lounge flows through to the adjoining dining area, big enough for entertaining dinner guests, and then the pleasant kitchen, with a pantry and gas cooking. Towards the back of the home are the two double bedrooms, both with built-in robes, the laundry, shower room with vanity and the separate toilet. Plush new carpet is fitted in the lounge, dining room, bedrooms and hallway, there are vertical blinds at most windows – as well as classy shutters on the toilet window – and the décor is neutral and clean. Security screens are fitted at both front and back doors. There’s a carport under the main roof (which could potentially have a garage door fitted with the approval of the council of owners) as well as extra parking space for guest cars, and a handy outdoor storage shed for stowing golf clubs and garden tools. Only about 2½ km from town, the home is also about the same distance from other shopping centres with major supermarkets and even closer to vital amenities such as a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, liquor store and fuel outlet – there’s even a bus stop one property up the road! If you’re in the market for a manageable home and gardens, this one is a ‘must see’.
