When the harbour greets your eye from your balcony in the sky, that’s amore!
When the wine is being poured from your cellar under the boards, that’s amore!
The crooners of the golden age would have been swooning over this unforgettable heritage listed property which is undoubtedly one of the jewels in Albany’s crown!
Proudly elevated above Grey Street with commanding views over the harbour and town, your first taste of the home comes as you step through the wrought iron gate and ascend up a paved stairway, touring past a front garden modelled off of the finest in France; manicured hedging, deciduous trees and regal statement water fountain.
The exquisite pedigree of the home is evident from your first glimpse of the commanding front balcony where antique leadlight entrance doors and solid original sash windows frame the home’s views with aplomb. The fully restored interior of the home returns to an era where the ceilings were high, the fittings were of the upmost elegance and grand living areas contributed to the standing of the residents.
A majestic hallway runs through the centre of the home from front to back with immaculate original floorboards underfoot, its decorative cornicing and dado rails the perfect accompaniment to your valued artworks.
To the left of the entrance, and nestled behind sets of immaculately draped windows is the ballroom proportioned formal dining and living area, its original chandelier clearly visible from the street front.
An antique wooden mantle houses a wood look gas fireplace while a secret hatch beneath the floorboards reveals an impressive dedicated wine cellar with capacity for up to 600 bottles of your finest drop.
Adjacent is the stately kitchen and informal dining area with a second gas log fire and mantle place dividing the two. The work of art kitchen houses two ovens, and industrial stainless steel six burner stove, two sinks, dishwasher and a giant solid wood chopping board housed within a central island bench. Top of the range vinyl wrap cabinets with antique styled handles and granite composite bench tops surround the appliances, with a row of frosted glass front overheads proudly sitting above the side benches.
Double French doors from the dining area lead out to the wraparound balcony which provides access to the homes veggie and herb gardens.
You wouldn’t know it for looking, but the rear section of the home is a later addition, designed so seamlessly and using sourced antique features so cleverly, it blends in as if it were there all along.
A central conservatory sunroom with reverse cycle and its own chandelier provides another stately space to sit and enjoy the home, mingling between the homes four queen sized bedrooms and providing French door access to the rear courtyard.
The master suite is an absolute gem, its hidden walk in robes and power room running the full length of the room to house your finest couture.
The heritage styled ensuite combining the elegant and the extravagant with a claw footed bath, separate shower, his and hers vanity basins on an antique cabinet, heated towel racks and flooring, artist design stained glass window and a massive statement mirror.
The second bathroom and toilet which is connected to a side hallway and one of the minor bedrooms is an equally fitting design and also features under floor heating.
The interior of the home is completely by a generous laundry with built in iron, storage and outdoor access.
A fully paved area is surrounded by cottage hedges and leads up to the homes double electric garage and workshop and remote control security gate and laneway access.
