Beautiful Two-Storey Home Boasts Character, Charm & Convenience
Welcome to 73 Festing Street, up on the harbour side of Mount Melville. Living here is all about the views, the history, the convenience, and enjoying life to its fullest.
THE VIEWS: Even from the downstairs living areas you'll be able to take in uninterrupted water views (upstairs even better!). You'll see wildlife, the tide ebbing and flowing, and the rainbows, sunsets, storms and weather changes coming across the bay - no two days are the same
THE HISTORY: And when those storms come in and you're watching lightning hit from behind the wind farm, you'll know why this charming home has stood the test of time for over 100 years. Solid foundations which you can personally view in the convenient under-house storage area. Beautiful Oregon timber floors blend seamlessly into planked walls, feature brick fireplaces and pressed tin kitchen backsplashes.
THE CONVENIENCE: Originally being an old railway cottage you're only a short downhill kilometre until you're on York Street. Most of Albany may be quite close together, but after you've experienced living near the CBD, you'll find the short walks to cafe's, no need for taxi's and quick trips to the shops when you've run out of milk incredibly convenient. Not to mention, you're in the middle, so whichever side of town you're heading you're right on track.
You could go on forever talking about this place, so we'll keep it simple:
