Overview

Rare Opportunity in One of Bexley's Last Standing Historic Mansions - St Elmo Circa 1897

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the rarest kind, this circa 1897 grand heritage listed mansion is one of Bexley's final remaining historic residences. Commanding an elite corner position that basks in endless sunshine, 'St Elmo' has been cleverly converted into four apartments. The property was originally owned by the renowned Palmer family, an original member of the railway line through parliament. It stands graceful and timeless still today as a landmark building of the suburb. The facade reflects a beautiful era bygone with its tessellated tile porch, Victorian architecture and low maintenance manicured garden, while inside continues the elegance. Each dwelling displays high ornate ceilings and original polished timber floorboards which have been lovingly maintained. All apartments include living, bedding and kitchen zones, with wonderful tenants providing solid rental returns for the buyer who acquires this unique manor. Suited to a smart investor or family, there are opportunities to enjoy the income (approx $100k return pa) or reconvert the interiors back to a stately single home (STCA). With Bexley Village, public school, transport and parklands all just metres away, the lifestyle here is second to none. It's also within a short walk of Rockdale Town Centre, train station and shopping plaza. - Stunning sprawling grounds present a place to picnic or relax in the sun - Entry via a tessellated tiled patio that spills through to the foyer inside - Engraved staircase and stunning soaring high ceiling detailed with beauty - All residences have original marble fireplaces, picture rails and timber floors - Savvy investor or family could enjoy solid income from the tenanted homes - Gated side access to rear parking of a double garage and additional spaces - Scope to live in one apartment and remain leasing the others if desired - Minutes from rapid city connections, coastal walks and sparkling beaches
