Lakeside luxury: Rare opportunity to own a home with stunning views of Lake Albert

Nestled mere metres from the serene shores of Lake Albert, 24 Lakeside Drive offers a rare opportunity to secure a coveted property with unparalleled views and a lifestyle that seamlessly blends tranquility and convenience.

Meticulously maintained, updated and loved by its current owner over the past 35 years, this home is the complete offering of luxury and lifestyle.

Fitzpatricks sales director Shaun Lowry said the outlook and the location were significant factors in the home’s appeal.

“It is hard to beat having a view across the lake. There are only two spots you can get that (lake view from home), at Lakeside Drive and Eastlake Drive,” Shaun said.

While there have been a couple of sales along Lakeside Drive recently, the properties rarely go on sale.

“You will only get the opportunity (to purchase a property) when someone has to move. People don’t leave, only if they need to or have to … those downsizing or going to retirement villages,” Shaun said.

Shaun said the demand for the property was there after he had received a high number of inquiries for the property compared to other homes.

“The property suits someone who is coming off the land and likes to be in a property that has an outlook for a view compared to a more dense residential area.

“Someone who could be downsizing from something similar to Springvale or an acreage property, not just a farm.

“The property’s had a new kitchen, but it still needs new bathrooms and a couple of cosmetic things done, so potentially someone who would like to make it their own.”

Boasting undeniable street presence on the waterfront, this home sits in the tightly held suburb of Lake Albert.

“Lake Albert [Public] School has a good reputation and name. A lot of people look to secure homes in that area just so they can get the kids into the school there,” Shaun said.

“It has everything you need close by – the golf club, Kooringal Mall, Lake Albert Village and it’s seven to eight minutes from town.

“Lake Albert has great recreation and plenty of opportunities for families to enjoy and appreciate.”

The home has a large sunlit living room – the heart of the home – and offers breathtaking easterly views over Lake Albert while the formal lounge room offers versatility for larger families.

The kitchen is flawlessly renovated with soft close cabinetry, Smeg appliances and a beautiful island bench with a breakfast bar.

There is a generous open dining space that flows seamlessly through to the outdoor entertainment area.

The kitchen and living areas are “east-facing with beautiful sunrises. You feel like you could be anywhere”.

“You don’t see your neighbours, so you feel very private. You can look through to the backyard or across the lake. There are windows to the front and back.”

The home has nine-foot ceilings, cypress pine flooring and a timeless palette throughout the main living area, exuding luxury.

The master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, a walk-in robe and an ensuite. There are also three additional bedrooms which all include built-in robes and two come with a built-in desk. All are serviced by a central family bathroom with a convenient separate toilet.

The heating and cooling options are covered with ducted reverse cycle, separate ducted gas heating as well as ceiling fans to all bedrooms for year-round comfort.

Downstairs you’ll find a versatile room that would make a great teenager’s retreat or could be used for additional storage space.

Entertaining is made easy, with a tranquil alfresco area with a gas connection to a built-in barbecue overlooking lush, manicured lawns and gardens.

“The home has a nice front porch and out the back, there is a large undercover entertaining area next to the rear yard,” Shaun said.

“The yard is big enough for kids and still plenty of room for a pool if that’s what someone wanted to do.

“There is not too much to manage in the garden if you’re on your own or just an elderly couple or someone who doesn’t spend much time in the gardens. It is easy to maintain.

Inspections are scheduled for Saturday 8 February, 11 to 11:30 am. The auction is on Saturday 1 March at 10:30 am.
