Perfectly positioned on a prominent corner block in Albany’s historic precinct, this magnificent Federation Queen Anne Bungalow, built circa 1919, is a rare and timeless offering. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully enhanced, this elegant home retains its distinguished character while offering modern comforts for today’s lifestyle.
From the moment you arrive, the property captivates with its period charm. A striking English-style picket fence and corner gate frame the home, leading to a picturesque front veranda that wraps around the facade, adorned with ornate timber posts and intricate detailing to the gables. The home’s solid brick and iron construction, steeply pitched roof, and tall chimneys with moulded capping further showcase its heritage significance.
Step inside, and you are immediately greeted by the grandeur of soaring 10-foot ceilings, exquisite ceiling roses, intricate archways, and polished Jarrah floors. Leadlight windows and transom panels above the doors add a vibrant touch, casting warm hues throughout the home. Tall skirting boards and decorative fireplaces in the bedrooms and lounge further enhance its period elegance.
The generous lounge provides a welcoming space to relax, featuring large windows that flood the room with natural light and a door opening onto the veranda—perfect for enjoying morning coffee in the fresh air. The brand-new kitchen (2024) is a stunning blend of heritage and contemporary styling, featuring quality soft-close cabinetry, overhead cupboards with frosted glass doors, and stylish press tin splashbacks. Equipped with a gas stove and dishwasher, it’s as practical as it is beautiful.
Four spacious bedrooms, each rich with character, provide ample accommodation, while the updated bathroom continues the home’s charming aesthetic with a press tin feature wall. The laundry, also updated, includes new quality flooring and modern conveniences.
Outside, the expansive 934sqm block offers abundant possibilities. A double remote-controlled Colorbond garage and a large workshop/storeroom, recently re-cladded it provides excellent storage and workspace options. A newly installed Colorbond back fence secures the fully fenced yard, while a mature landscaped native garden ensures minimal maintenance. A shaded sitting area beneath a magnificent 100-year-old flame tree is a peaceful retreat to unwind and appreciate the home’s tranquil setting.
