Realise your rural living dream in this impressive Coatesville home
Bayleys Real Estate Albany
Enjoying a wonderful position within the central Coatesville community, the four-acre property at 149 O’Brien Road is on the market for the first time in almost three decades. The owners have lived here for 27 years and have loved the vast grounds, gardens and native bush for raising their three sons.
The location offers the best of both worlds – the seclusion, peace and privacy of a country home, yet is just a short drive from the local village shops, pony club and cafes. Schooling options are another drawcard for those with families, with the neighbourhood in zone for Albany Junior and Senior High Schools, Coatesville Primary and an easy drive from Pinehurst and Kristin. All of Albany’s amenities, motorway onramps and transport options are an easy drive from home also, so urban conveniences need not be sacrificed.
To accommodate a growing family, the character home was extended from the original two-bedroom cottage to a two-level, four-bedroom residence. The once bare paddock outside was also transformed, with the magnificent, mature garden oasis tended from the ground up.
There’s plenty of off-street parking available in front of the double internal garage, plus two separate boat/ float trailer parks. Inside, warm and inviting interiors comprise of open-plan, ground floor living and dining areas, plus an office that could easily be utilised as a single bedroom. These arrive at the generous country-style kitchen and breakfast bar, with the whole area warmed in winter by the woodburning fireplace. Upstairs, four double, light-filled bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom and the master suite has its own private balcony.
The inside flows out to a veranda that wraps around the home and an expansive sun-soaked deck perfect for barbeques and summer entertaining. From here, the magnificent grounds and gardens unfold, extending out as far as the eye can see – a wonderful world of spring flowers, fruit trees and vegetable gardens, joined together by pathways and archways and an enormous birdbath statue.
The orchard features plums, apples, figs and a host of exotic variants, while the macadamia trees are laden with nuts during April. The property is made up of a Y-shaped valley with a pond at the base, which has allowed the family a truly privileged outdoor lifestyle, filled with farm animals, motorbikes and huts in the bush.
As an added bonus, the land also has a separate driveway accessing a large workshop with 3-phase power. It lends itself as the ideal work from home situation and has been utilised for many years as such.
This picturesque property has served as a wonderful family home and lends plenty of potential and scope to enhance to add value.
