Albany WA 6330

Such a lovely, inviting feeling from this inner Albany home! Dating back to around 1893, this lovely cottage underwent renovations and extensions a little over 10 years ago - transporting her into a new era.Well preserved heritage credentials mesh beautifully with modern extensions providing functionality, comfort and style. Original Oregon tongue and groove panelling to walls and ceilings and Baltic pine floors feature through the original parts of the home, while concrete floors and marine ply define the front extension.Certainly one of the many appealing aspects is the interaction between indoors and outdoors at the front (North) of the home. Kitchen, meals and living space flows seamlessly through bi-fold doors to a sunny and very private courtyard. At the opposite end of the home, the original lounge room opens out to the back verandah through French doors offering harbour views from inside or out.A modern kitchen with stone tops, central island bench, commercial style 900mm stove and pantry is well placed for both preparation and interaction with family and friends. Built-in furniture features throughout - seats with storage, bookcases, cupboards and even a mezzanine landing in the front bedroom with robes beneath.All bedrooms are a good size; the front bedroom has its own deck, while the rear bedroom enjoys water views. Bathrooms are modern and the bath even offers harbour views!A delightful rear garden is pleasant and productive with a bountiful veggie patch and many fruit trees. Parking is provided for with a double carport and extra hardstand accessed from the private side road.Environmental considerations were a key consideration during the work to the home including solar passive highlight windows to the North, insulated walls, ceiling and floor, solar power, rainwater tanks and solar hot water system.Features include:* Architect designed extensions to original weatherboard cottage* Re-roofed, replumbed and rewired* Private, North facing courtyard creating indoor/outdoor room* 2.5kw solar system, low E glass to new windows* Fully insulated walls, ceiling and floors* Solar hot water system with gas instantaneous booster* Rainwater tanks (10,000l + 5,000l) plumbed to house (plus scheme)* Garden shed, storage under house, outdoor shower* Rear garden, veggie patch, garden shed* Fully reticulated gardens* Parking off private road (easement benefit to this lot)* Harbour views, walk to town, inner city convenienceThis is a special and rare offering - we suggest you act quickly.
