A home of this calibre is more than simply a place to live, it is a piece of Bairnsdale's history.
Built in 1911 and affectionately known by generations of locals as "The Doctor's House," this landmark residence has stood proudly for over a century, retaining the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that makes period homes so sought after.

Set upon an exceptional 2,309m² (approx.) street to street allotment, stretching from Wallace Street through to Burns Street, the property offers a level of space and flexibility rarely found within the heart of Bairnsdale.

The main residence offers four generous bedrooms, multiple living spaces and the timeless appeal that only a home of this era can provide.
Stepping outside, the established gardens and mature trees create a peaceful setting, while the expansive wrap around verandah provides the perfect place to relax and appreciate the beauty of the property.
Adding further versatility is a substantial self contained room positioned adjacent to the swimming pool. Complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom and ample living space, it presents endless possibilities as guest accommodation, a teenager's retreat, home office, studio or pool house.
The in ground swimming pool is ready for its next chapter and offers buyers an exciting opportunity to restore what would undoubtedly become a stunning centrepiece for family entertaining.
Vehicle accommodation includes a carport at the front of the property together with a single garage accessed from Burns Street, complementing the convenience of the dual street frontage.
Homes of this significance are rarely offered to the market. Combining rich local history, timeless architecture, exceptional land holding and exciting future potential, this is a once in a generation opportunity to secure one of Bairnsdale's true landmark residences.
