INNER CITY COTTAGES IN HIGH DEMAND
Fast becoming a rare commodity due to a spike in interest from savvy property punters and renovators, gems such as this somewhat neglected yet potential-packed, renovation-ready city centre original are now considered quite the prize in Albany.
And, the fact it has great prospects for harbour views, and sits beside a prime piece of real estate you could also acquire, simply heightens its appeal.
The location is also a major drawcard, with the local cafe, arts centre and park, and downtown Albany just a short walk away.
The 1940s home stands on a level lot, with side access to a shed and lean-to and the spacious, sunny aspect backyard.
Refurbish and expand your living at the rear of the home and add a second level to harness the views available, then move in and embrace the lifestyle, or flip the property and move onto your next project.
The home has obviously seen better days but its bones are solid, with jarrah framework throughout plus original decorative cornices, high ceilings and a new roof.
It is also more spacious than you might imagine.
The full-width semi-open verandah flows to a large separate lounge, with a classic 1940s fireplace.
The country kitchen is a great size and so typical of the era, with its Metters wood stove, which actually works. Even the bedrooms are a great size.
And as for the wet areas, they are certainly passed their use by dates, however, that won't deter inspired renovators.
Secure this diamond in the rough and create something new and exciting.
