8 Alicia St, Mount Melville WA 6330, Australia
Expertly renovated while highlighting its beautiful original features, this mid-century cottage presents as a classy, modern home to delight the most discerning buyer.
On the sunny northern side of Mt Melville and only a short walk from the cafés, shops and amenities of the town centre, the exclusive home enjoys a lovely outlook over Albany’s hinterland as far as the Porongurups.
It is set in attractive gardens with neatly trimmed lawns and looks a picture with its partly-timbered exterior with window awnings and front deck.
Inside, the complete, high-quality restoration displays impressive attention to detail.
Jarrah floorboards, timber casement windows and high, decorative ceilings blend seamlessly with superior modern appointments and white décor, while several systems for energy and water efficiency enhance livability.
Light streams into the open living area, which incorporates the air-conditioned lounge, kitchen and dining space. With smart ivory cabinetry set off with timber bench-tops, the kitchen is a sizeable work area with an induction cook-top and under-bench oven.
Off the main hallway are two king-sized bedrooms and a bathroom with a bathtub, shower and a vanity set in a vintage cabinet.
At the back door, there’s an office space with a queen-sized third bedroom on one side and a wet room with shower, vanity, toilet and space for laundry equipment on the other. Power and plumbing have been installed here to facilitate the future addition of a kitchenette, which would allow this rear section to be used independently of the main part of the home.
For outdoor relaxation, the front deck is reached through French doors from the lounge, and in the back yard is a private seating nook.
The extensive building work has included new stumps, electrics and plumbing, and asbestos has been replaced and removed.
A garden shed and good off-road parking are other notable benefits of this fabulous property.
Occupying a 622sqm block backing onto another road, the exclusive home is perfect for families demanding style, comfort and convenience, or as a holiday home for out-of-towners. It would equally serve as a tenant-friendly rental investment or for short-term holiday accommodation.
