Full of character and conveniently positioned close to town, this appealing cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for first-home buyers, downsizers and investors seeking a comfortable, well-established property with plenty of practical features.
With Albany's CBD, shops, primary and high schools within walking distance, and the showgrounds and sporting facilities close by, everyday convenience is a real advantage. Middleton Beach and Albany's beautiful coastline are also just a short drive away, making this a great location for those who appreciate having everything within easy reach.
The 1950s fibro and iron cottage has been updated over the years while retaining many of the features that give it its charm. High ceilings, decorative detailing and some original timber windows reflect the home's character, while Jarrah floorboards remain beneath the current floor coverings, ready to be uncovered and polished should you wish to make them a feature.
Inside, a comfortable front lounge provides a welcoming place to relax, complete with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a ceiling fan for year-round comfort. A sheltered front verandah offers another pleasant sitting area, while the rear sunroom provides a versatile additional space that could easily serve as a home office, study or quiet retreat.
The spacious kitchen is well equipped for everyday living, with ample white cabinetry, gas cooking and a central island bench offering additional preparation space and a convenient spot for casual meals.
There are three bedrooms, including a queen-sized main bedroom with built-in robes, a second double bedroom and a third single bedroom positioned towards the rear of the home. The bathroom includes a shower, vanity, built-in storage, and a heated towel rail, with the laundry and separate toilet at the rear of the home for added convenience.
An enclosed patio running alongside the home provides a sheltered space to sit and enjoy the outdoors, while the established gardens are a particularly appealing feature. Fruit trees, productive vegetable beds, colourful plantings and a generous stretch of lawn create a lovely setting for those who enjoy gardening, spending time outside or simply having room for children and pets to play.
Set on a level, fully fenced 564sqm block, the property also offers useful side access through to the rear, with room to park a caravan or explore the possibility of adding a larger shed, subject to relevant approvals. A carport at the front provides covered parking, while the existing garden shed offers handy storage for tools and equipment.
A 6kW solar system is another welcome inclusion, helping to offset household electricity costs and adding to the home's overall practicality.
Combining character, comfortable living and established outdoor spaces with a location close to town, this is an inviting property with plenty to offer, whether you're starting out, looking for something more manageable or adding to your investment portfolio.
