The harbour, marina and entertainment centre views and Albany CBD location are wonderful, the lifestyle enviable, and the background story to this fabulous late Victorian/early Federation property is fascinating.Established in C1885 and run as a boarding house from the 1880s right up to the 1940s, the charismatic home stands on a substantial lot virtually at the gateway to the Stirling Terrace Heritage Precinct. Here you will find historic buildings and popular wining, dining, shops and more. The fully-fenced and electronic gated property has ample parking and a spacious backyard, and ROW access to a shed.Sit on the home's spacious verandahs and watch the boats come and go, and marvel at the spectacle of the New Years Eve fireworks.Walk to any number of city centre events held during the year, or across the bridge to all the foreshore has to offer.High ceilings and original jarrah floors, fireplaces and more are hallmarks of the enchanting home.An intriguing and ambient-filled rear room now used as a casual living space, has an original recessed baker's oven, and a gas log fire in a fabulous fireplace synonymous with the era. Maybe this was the boarding house kitchen at some stage.Next door is the existing timber feature, island bench country kitchen, with mod appliances.The nearby wet areas are functional and presentable.Off the home's lovely wide entry hall is a formal lounge, with period built-in cabinetry, also a feature in the second bedroom near the main water view bedroom.Embrace fabulous inner-city living now.
