Middleton Beach WA 6330

One option would be to enjoy the studio as a weekend getaway, then build the remaining house when you are ready to call Albany home..
An additional option for the property is to build an undercroft studio apartment with separate access from the lower street. This apartment could be rented on AirBnB for example, providing an income.
The completed house is designed with large glass panels to the north, allowing sunlight, ocean, lake, hills, park views and a connection to the surrounding bushland, giving the top floor an observation deck feel. Entry into the home is from the top of the site providing level access into the living space, easy vehicle parking and visitors have plenty of space to park on the large verge driveway. Existing trees and native landscaping surround the home providing a connection to the adjacent Mt Adelaide bush land and an easy low maintenance garden.
All rooms are generously proportioned, with great layouts providing a free flowing feeling through-out the home. The stairwell looks thru the living spaces and out to the ocean and bush, large opening panels in all spaces provide excellent cross ventilation, allowing the sound and aroma of the ocean and bush land into home.
Quality finishes and fixtures have been selected, with a clean minimalist detail and long service life in mind, such as marine grade stainless steel tapware.
The energy efficiency is excellent, being a fully certified 7.1 Star rating, which is well above the standard required for new homes, and easily twice as efficient as the majority of older homes. Adding to the efficiency of the building is low energy use fixtures and lighting. The home will be very economical to run.
The home has a BAL29 - Bush Fire protection certification, in keeping with the latest Australian Standards. The majority of the external finishes are actually certified to the higher BAL40 rating. The higher quality facade elements also provide lower maintenance and an increased life span.
Walking distance to leisure activities such as the bush hiking trails in the hills, the pristine Middleton Beach, cafes, surf club, golf course, bowls club and the recently upgrade Eyre s Park playgrounds. A proposed bushwalk path close to the home from Morley Place down the Beach corner will make it an even shorter stroll for a swim on summer days.
This home is a beautiful example of beachside living at its best!
