294 Serpentine Rd, Mount Melville WA 6330, Australia
Magnificent ocean, mountain and cityscape views will delight the new owners of this impressive two-storey home set high on the northern slopes of Mount Melville.
Stylish renovations and extensions have created a modern, spacious and versatile home while retaining the character of its 1960s origins in such details as jarrah floorboards, high ceilings and decorative cornices.
And it’s just 2km from the centre of Albany and all the shops, eateries, facilities and nightlife of the city.
The house sits at the top of its sloping 1,547 sqm block to make the most of the beautiful expansive views to Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands in the Southern Ocean, to Emu Point, over Albany city, and north to the Porongurup and Stirling Ranges.
This outlook is shared by the two indoor living spaces and appealing outdoor areas on both levels – an extensive deck on top and a sheltered, paved patio below.
The generous open living room has lots of large windows to create a warm, sunny ambience while maximising the outlook in all directions.
Bi-fold doors from the dining room extend this to the deck, and on the opposite side, a smaller deck provides a sheltered option for more intimate gatherings.
A quality renovation of the kitchen is displayed in jarrah bench tops and ivory cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, near new dishwasher and five-burner stove.
Three of the bedrooms are in the charming original part of the home. All are good-sized doubles with built-in robes. The renovated main bathroom is beautifully appointed with a corner shower, bath, double vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiling in ivory hues. The separate toilet opposite is similarly finished, and the adjacent laundry has fitted storage cupboards.
A staircase leads from the living area to another versatile room below. This part of the home could be used as independent accommodation for family members. It has an adjoining double bedroom and a bathroom and toilet, as well as access to the lower patio.
Storage is plentiful, in the loft above the upper level, a linen room and an undercroft area, part of which is a workshop.
A double carport at the front has an adjacent third parking spot, and there’s turning space at the side.
While the block is a great size for its central location, it is also low-maintenance, with lush lawns established at the front and back of the house and smart landscaping spanning over the rest of the block. There’s space for a decent size shed at the rear of the home and a concrete driveway has already been laid to provide easy vehicle access. Plans for a shed the current owner envisaged to install are available to share with any interested party.
This outstanding property offers a desirable lifestyle of comfort and convenience for everyday living and entertaining.
