"Glenalbert" c1952 is one of those rare period homes that will take you back in time and really captivate you on inspection. They certainly don't build them like this anymore... beautifully crafted with many classic features, typical of its era, and immaculately kept and presented; better still, it has been tastefully renovated to provide all the modern-day creature comforts without losing its timeless period appeal. Your first impression is of the elegant front facade, the house elevated above a pretty front garden with brick edging and box hedge. You are greeted by the sheltered portico and wide entrance hall with 9' ceilings, decorative cornices and ornate plaster works through several rooms; there are hardwood floorboards nestled under the soft carpets if you wish to expose them now or later on. The formal lounge features a lovely fireplace with gas heater; double doors open to the formal dining room with open fire place; both rooms are generously proportioned and light-filled with large windows offering views back towards the CBD. The kitchen has been updated with WI pantry, breakfast bar, electric stove, dishwasher and plenty of cupboard space & some big pot drawers. The kitchen/meals area is North facing and opens to a delightful and very private alfresco/ pergola area for some quiet time. There are 3 large double bedrooms, the master with sunny retreat/ sitting room, en-suite and walk in robe; bedroom 2 has a box bay window and both bedrooms 2 & 3 have built in wardrobes. The family bathroom has been partially updated with the original nice deep bath tub retained, a large shower added, with vanity and separate toilet, and a European laundry is conveniently tucked away near the kitchen. Fixtures and fittings are of high quality and creature comforts include gas central heating, 2 x reverse cycle split system units, solid timber doors and timber arcs and skirts. Fusebox has been upgraded with new safety switches, there is gas HWS and pink Batts in the roof. The house flows beautifully and everything is in its place and just feels right. Outside you have much to admire but little to maintain. Gardens are colourful and enchanting, yet wonderfully low maintenance. There is a wide brick single garage which is preceded by a deep carport, both with automatic roller doors, providing room for 2 cars plus storage. There are front and back security sensor lights, a cute rear yard and a magnificent lemon tree! You can leave the vehicles at home, with CBD shops and restaurants, main beach and foreshore, parkland, sports/ social clubs all just a short walk away. This is a lifestyle property which will suit families, downsizers or busy professionals who are seeking that special Central property without breaking the budget. Just move in, relax and revel in the warm 1950s ambience this lovely home creates.
