There’s something just a little bit special about the historic streets of Albany’s CBD.
Lined with an eclectic mix of gorgeous heritage cottages and superbly designed modern executive homes. In any other world this would look odd, but in these elegant streets, it just seems to work with the two style’s blending seamlessly together to create a fabulously cosmopolitan setting.
Residents of the area are also spoiled with not only the boutique shops and vibrant hubbub of the CBD just minutes away, but also a niche cafe and one of the best farmers markets in Australia just a short stroll from their door.
You can spot residents sipping on a perfectly made latte and nibbling a fresh baked friand at the cafe which is a favourite local haunt of the nearby home owners.
This secluded Grey Street block, tucked away behind an existing home on Grey Street is a wonderful opportunity to add to the forward and cutting edge designs that grace this area. You could choose to honour the oh so classy architecture of the historic homes that sit nearby, replicating their design, or just selecting a few features to pay homage to a grand era in buildings. Or you may wish to use the unique space to create a modern masterpiece, a bespoke home that will fit a lifestyle that demands the finer things in life.
While a rear block can sometimes feel “tacked on” and crammed in, this perfect little piece is anything but! It maintains its own sense of solidarity, and exclusivity, and will become idyllic surrounds for a family when an abode is added.
Then there are the views, which can be sampled from the viewing platform that has recently been added to the block for a hint of the outlook which can become yours every day. On a perfect still summer day you can witness the glassed off serenity of Princess Royal Harbour, the adjacent national park and wind farm, and across the harbour to the entrance of King George Sound.
Or, when Albany gets moody and cooks up a storm, it is just as awe inspiring to watch the clouds and rain wash in over the scene, dramatic and impressive, all with a warming cup of tea in your hand.
With a long entrance driveway, secluded and private surrounds and a setting that never fails to please, these 522 square metres of prime CBD land only awaits a creative mind to design and develop their own masterpiece in the high streets of Albany.
