50B Melville Street

Positioned privately at the rear in an elevated city-fringe setting, this beautifully maintained home is all about lifestyle, outlook and low-maintenance living. Capturing sweeping panoramic views across the harbour, port and out to Frenchman Bay, the brick veneer and tile residence offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers chasing location and scenery over excess land size perfect for downsizers, professionals, retirees or those seeking a secure lock-and-leave base close to the CBD. Built in 1999 and set on 486sqm within a two-lot strata with no common property, the home enjoys a peaceful, tucked-away position while remaining just moments from Albany's cafés, shops, foreshore and entertainment precinct. The spacious living zone has been cleverly designed to maximise the outlook, with expansive windows framing the ever-changing harbour views and opening onto a generous balcony where you can relax, entertain or simply watch the ships move through the port. Warm parquet flooring flows through the main living areas, complemented by a neutral colour palette, renovated kitchen and stylishly updated bathrooms with stone bench tops. The light-filled kitchen overlooks the dining and living space and offers excellent storage, breakfast bar seating and quality appliances, while the wood fire and ducted air conditioning ensure year-round comfort. The two minor bedrooms have built-in robes and are serviced by the main bathroom with a shower and bath, and a separate toilet in the laundry room. The private master suite is complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. A separate sunroom creates additional flexibility for entertaining, hobbies or quiet relaxation. Outside, the paved rear courtyard is easy-care and functional, with a double carport, undercroft storage, native gardens, a small rainwater tank and room to establish another garden area behind the carport. Offering privacy, practicality and one of Albany's most impressive outlooks in this price range, this is a home designed for buyers wanting to spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying the lifestyle on offer.
