212 Grey Street W

Albany WA 6330

What a stunning residence, set high on a hill with views over Princess Royal Harbour in one of the older parts of Albany and walking distance to the main street.Due to the clever use of retaining, the home is set on one level along with 3-car garaging that has remote controlled doors and a storeroom/workshop at the rear. There is also room for a 4th car, boat or caravan with a carport off to the side of the garaging.Upon entering the house, you pass through a delightful court yard that catches the northeast morning sun and is a perfect spot to enjoy coffee with friends. The home feels very serene and relaxing with it's character filled rooms, high decorative rose ceilings, wooden jarrah floor boards and ornate cornicing. The kitchen has been redesigned complete with walk in pantry and is ready for any gourmet minded chef. There is also an extension to the rear of the property that provides a private style retreat with a separate bathroom and laundry, plus your power bills are slashed due to the addition of 20 solar panels.Upstairs is a loft that is lined and is only missing Harry Potter himself, such is the charming character filled nature of this room. Perfect as a secluded spot for the aspiring novelist or painter with its own dormer window overlooking the water. It could even serve as a teenagers retreat or a 5th bedroom. The other bedrooms are all king size and all have views of either the townsite or the harbour.Character homes are often dominated by a single straight hallway, but not this one. It has a well laid out workable plan that has the main lounge area with a fireplace set off from the kitchen. The second lounge/living room at the front of the house takes in the spectacular breath-taking views or exit through French doors onto the wide wrap around veranda that overlooks the Port and straight across the harbour to the yacht club and on to the coastal hills and Albany's wind farm.This is why people are moving to Albany in their droves, in Perth a property like this would be multiple millions and on a tiny block. Here you have it all, loads of space, views with a house on one level, loads of garaging, walking distance to town and a character filled home modernised tastefully to include all the creature comforts we all like to enjoy today.There is also scope for the gardener in you with 1,629 square metres to play with or perhaps some future development.
