There is definitely something about Albany’s period homes that set them apart from the run of the mill mundane fare we see in the suburbs. It all starts with the location.
Spencer Street is one of Albany’s oldest streets and combines the sweet blend of elevation to provide expansive views with a short stroll into the very heart of the City. Even closer is the iconic and heritage listed Earl of Spencer Inn where the famous and renowned Pie and a Pint is served in much the same way as it would have been 100 years ago.
This home has that old world charm and charisma which has been created with the help of high ceilings, a combination of pine and jarrah floors throughout with high skirting boards, French doors onto the front verandah, a light and airy kitchen and dining space plus a spacious entrance hall featuring led lighting that ties it all together.
There is a small court yard to enjoy, rainwater plumbed into the super sized pantry and three good sized bedrooms. As the home is set forward on the block and thanks to recently completed retaining there is loads of room to park at the rear and the current owner has just completely refurbished the small workshop/shed at the very top of the property. In addition the final touch to this special home is the well laid out gardens that are both easy care and surround you in a delightfully relaxed atmosphere.
With no heritage listing needing to be adhered to, there is scope to customise this home even further.
Imagine sitting on the front verandah, coffee in hand, looking out over the city and on to the harbour as you greet passers-by with a friendly wave and “hello”.
82 Spencer Street has all the splashing’s of yesteryear with the up to date conveniences of the 21st century and is ready for its next custodians to feel its charm, warmth and love.
