Imagine relaxing evenings sitting on your balcony with your loved ones, listening to trees rustle in the breeze and watching the stillness and twinkle of the ocean. Picture weekends spent bike-riding with your family down to the beach to swim or fish. Better yet, dream of having all this ready for you to move in right now.
Your imagination can be reality when you buy this stunning craftsman home in Mira Mar. Privacy, tranquility and million-dollar views are all yours in this sought-after neighbourhood just a short 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk to the centre of Albany.
This attractive, pole home was custom-built in 2012 by the current homeowners, but they’ve left room for you to add your own personal touch. The craftsmanship and care of the home is seen throughout with blackbutt timber floors, jarrah doors, and other timber-work through the house.
Three of the four bedrooms are located at the front of the home, along with the spacious laundry which fits a washer and dryer, the large built in linen cupboard, the main, large bathroom and a separate toilet. The bathroom features wide marri benchtops on the vanity, a shower and bath.
The bedrooms have built-in robes and the third room could be used as an office with updated power points and a wifi outlet.
The layout of the home creates an effortless flow from room to room. As you move from the front of the house into the main living area, you’ll notice the open plan lounge, the high ceilings, and the glow of the natural light.
The lounge is carpeted and sits across from another carpeted space currently used as an open play space, but could easily be turned into a sitting room, library or games room.
The lounge opens into a large dining room and breakfast nook. The showstopper of this space is the kitchen with panoramic views over Lake Seppings and King George Sound.
It’s the perfect area to entertain or unwind after a long day with plenty of bench space, soft-close drawers, a 5-burner gas stove, electric fan-forced oven, walk-in pantry and a large island in the centre of the kitchen.
The master suite is tucked away just off the dining room. It includes a walk-in robe, stunning views to the water across the tops of the trees and a large ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has marri benchtops, an extra wide shower, tile floors and a toilet.
Everything was thought out in the planning of this home. The east-facing windows allow natural warmth throughout winter and the balcony faces the same direction, letting light and warmth spill over the jarrah deck, which is blocked from the wind by the hill and home behind.
The covered deck wraps around the house making it large enough for a lounge area, refrigerator, other sitting spaces, a dining table and more.
The house is perched on a hill and the owners have created a three-tier garden beneath the home. One tier could be dedicated to children’s toys or a playground, while the bottom tier already has an established vegetable garden. The home is surrounded by native plants and a few lush, fruit trees.
Below the vegetable garden is a large 10x7m shed with a slider door and built-in workbenches. This means that even though the home is on a slope, there’s plenty of room to store your vehicles and boy’s toys.
You won’t often find newer homes with exquisite craftsmanship, stunning views and so close to the centre of Albany like this one. So what are you waiting for?
