Located at the base of Kardarup/Mount Melville, this attractive cottage offers excellent access to nearby bush trails and the thriving Albany town centre. Currently operating as managed holiday accommodation (with all relevant council and state approvals in place) the options are endless for the astute buyer, developer or investor. Extensively renovated throughout, the home tastefully incorporates period features such as timber floors, high ceilings and decorative plasterwork with modern elements. A bright and inviting sunroom with plantation shutters overlooks the front lawn, as does the adjacent cosy lounge room which contains a stone-clad fireplace (conveniently vented into the bedrooms) and a wall of built-in cabinetry to display books and trinkets. At the home's rear, a quiet space is used as an activity/sitting room. The contemporary kitchen has a lovely mix of cottage charm and modernity with shaker detail on the cabinetry doors, engineered stone tops, a freestanding cooker, and a central island bench for food prep or casual meals. The room also includes a reverse cycle air conditioner, dishwasher and plenty of space for a large fridge/freezer. The master and second bedrooms have been thoughtfully designed with decorative pendant lights, freestanding wardrobes and radiant heater panels for the cooler nights. A third bedroom/possible study would suit a single bed and features a desk nook. The family bathroom is fresh and stylish with silver travertine flooring, floor-to-ceiling feature tiles, a shower enclosure and a timber-look vanity with a stone top. Outside, a separate studio with a storeroom and timber deck overlooks the spacious backyard. Equipped with power and hot/cold water, it's ideal as a home office, studio, or workshop. With renovations, it could become self-contained accommodation for family or rental use (STCA). The 980m² block offers great potential for subdivision or rear development (STCA), while still providing plenty of space for parking a caravan or boat and room for family activities. Consider continuing with the managed accommodation arrangement for income while you get your plans in motion, or seize the opportunity to landscape and utilise the vast lawn area for your own enjoyment.
