Unit 2/16 King St, Mount Clarence WA 6330, Australia

Properties in Albany’s dress circle with magnificent views over Middleton Beach and within walking distance of this iconic tourist precinct are usually tightly held.

So the listing of this home is sure to excite discerning buyers recognising the rare opportunity and the enviable lifestyle on offer.

The two-storey brick and tile home enjoys an exceptional position at the end of a cul-de-sac with bushland opposite and a sensational outlook over Middleton Bay to King George Sound, Oyster Harbour and Gull Rock from both levels. Sunrise on the water, waves lapping on the sand, whales frolicking in the bay and ships moving in to harbour are regular sights to be savoured by the privileged new owners.

Extensive glazing makes the most of the views and creates light-filled rooms on the sunny north-eastern side of the house.

The main living space is on the lower floor, where a wood fire and reverse cycle air conditioner are fitted in the generous open family room and dining area.

Adjoining this space is the kitchen with a dishwasher, corner pantry and electric stove.

Also on this level is a delightful sunroom, a cosy spot for taking in the spectacular view.

Upstairs is a big lounge for relaxing, TV, reading or entertaining and wide, glazed doors opening onto a delightful balcony.

A patio off the family room on the ground floor is another real asset, being a sheltered space for barbecues and drinks with friends – and visiting native birds and wildlife.

With a share of the outlook, the queen-sized master bedroom has its own reverse cycle air conditioner, a walk-in robe and en suite shower room with a vanity and separate toilet, while the three family bedrooms are all double sized with built-in robes.

There’s a shower room combined with the laundry, and a separate toilet.

Built in storage options are conveniently located in the hallway to the bedrooms and at the top of the stairwell.

On the 629 sqm block is a paved courtyard and reticulated gardens, with an area of lawn and eclectic plantings of cottage varieties, creepers and succulents.

A double garage adjoining the house has power, and there’s a second garage further down the block, large enough for a decent sized caravan. A workshop with power, benches and storage, a shade house and a rainwater tank are other terrific outdoor features.

While the home would benefit from modernisation to some areas, it is comfortable and inviting, and its layout would still be favoured by today’s buyers. It has also been very well maintained and is in great shape throughout.
