Who doesn’t love a challenge? Who doesn’t love the calming and soul warming presence of a water view? Who doesn’t love a location so close to town you never need worry about a designated driver? Who doesn’t love a new opportunity to build a home to suit their tastes right down to the tiniest detail.

With opportunities for new builds on the popular slopes of Mount Melville at a premium, this brand new 407 square metre block is a bit of a bargain find.

Separated from the front cottage via a new colour bond fence and with the lead in of a new, modern bitchumised driveway, the block provides the opportunity for an aspiring developer to get in to the market at a bargain basement price and make the most of the great harbour side location.

It would be a wonderful opportunity to create a new abode in the style of the historic nautical cottages which line the waterfront in Albany’s CBD heritage precinct, or to wow the masses with a bespoke architect’s design that fits effortlessly into the space and makes the most of the outlook.

There is a height restriction on the build here (so that your neighbours out font can enjoy the view too), but the opportunities for creative thinking area still plenty.

Watching inspirational shows such as Grand Designs, where daring young developers take on even more minute blocks to end up with jaw dropping masterpieces, ones mouth can quickly start watering about the potential of this little space.

The beauty of building your own dream home is that you can create a flow that suits your lifestyle, and pick out all of the nifty extras that will make your life a breeze.

Think little appliance nooks, that spot in the bathroom where your favourite vase from your travels takes pride of place, even down to the style of windows which would allow you to open up the house to the delightful sea breeze which will float in of an afternoon.

You can also put your own personality into it, to make the most of the high personality location this little dream block offers.

Whether it is to undertake a quick build for a fast sell turnaround and profit, a hearty project for an owner builder, or a first home buyer wanting a first abode that is a little different from the norm and repels the production line styling of suburbia, you can find the opportunity here.

Of course, if you prefer a little more space, and your eyes sparkle at the prospect of refurbishing the house up front, you can buy the pigeon pair and make use of the space to your hearts content.
