37 Hill Street, Albany WA 6330

From high on Mount Clarence in historic Albany, this property enjoys panoramic views over Princess Royal Harbour, around to town and the entertainment centre, and out to Torndirrup National Park and the wind farm.
It also presents a diversity of options for astute purchasers recognising its numerous advantages for location and lifestyle as well as the possibility of replacing the existing home with a state-of-the-art, contemporary residence, in line with the Albany Historic Town Design Policy.
Sited towards the back of its sloping 779sqm block, the 1920s timber cottage has been extended and modernised over the years. It is in good condition and well presented, so it could be rented out with an excellent tenant already in place on a periodic tenancy, or lived in and the property developed later.
The home displays timber features such as floors, walls and ceilings in some rooms, and slate flooring in the kitchen & laundry.
At the back, the generous open-plan, air-conditioned living space incorporates extensive glazing to make the most of the outlook. Glass doors lead out onto a rear deck for summer relaxation, and a wood fire ensures cosy winters.
A breakfast bar in the kitchen – which has electric cooking and a pantry cupboard – is also sited on the view side.
All three bedrooms are good-sized doubles, and the modernised bathroom features a walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, all in sparkling white.
In addition to undercroft storage, there’s a powered shed-workshop under the house.
At the top of the block is a double garage and there’s access to the rear via a laneway from the street at the back.
A dress circle view of the city’s new year’s eve fireworks will be a spectacular bonus for the new owners, who will also appreciate the proximity to amenities. Within easy walking distance of the city for cafés, entertainment and shops, the property is also a bike-ride away from primary and high schools.
Far-sighted owners will recognise the wealth of potential this property offers, and the possibilities for enhancing both lifestyle and value.
