So many people fall in love with Albany while strolling through the CBD streets, and this quaint cottage is a prime example why. Its footpath frontage looks across to the historic Mason’s hall, and is practically neighbours with the Earl of Spencer.

Fancy a beer or wine of an afternoon, or perhaps a coffee and some eats, or are you a regular at the Saturday morning markets? Well it’s all just moments from your door!

Now don’t be completely romanced just yet as the home, while full of gorgeous character and quirky features, does need a bit of TLC. But what better renovation project than to create your own character style Mecca right in the centre of town. Take note of the surrounding homes that have done just that and you will see that the rewards are palpable!

Introducing the home is a cottage style sunroom with full glass and polished floorboards takes in its surrounds and provides a charming facade from the homes rock retaining wall entrance stairway.

Stepping inside and its personality immediately begins showing through, with antique style light switches, high ceilings and wood classing lining the entrance hallways.

Branching off from each side is the first duo of massive bedrooms, each featuring an original fire place, big heavy old windows and wood cladding identical to the hallway.

In the section of the home, a formal lounge room can be found, sweeping high ceilings accentuating the wide expanse of the room and complimenting the brick surrounded fireplace and mantle.

A third extra large bedroom also leads from the space before you step through into the kitchen and dining area which occupies the rear section of the home.

Definitely ready for a new lease on life, the kitchen is older style and features a basic selection of cupboards as well as a gas oven and stove. With plenty of space in which to install a gourmet kitchen, it will be blissfully easy to remove the existing and create a brilliant new layout with all of the mod cons.

The bathroom has been partly refurbished and is perfect to service the home whilst you renovate, with a modern crisp white vanity, recess shower, medicine cabinet, linen closet and heat lighting.

Step outside to a large enclosed patio and workshop area that provides glimpses out to the mammoth, tiered yard that is extremely generous for a city centre location.

One pictures a Mediterranean style al fresco area, a nice big deck or a heritage style gazebo to make the most of this rear space- the choice is yours.

Roll up your sleeves and get stuck into a wonderful restoration project, taking inspiration from the surrounding homes which have been renovated to become sheer delights.
