A stunning home with an impressive story and interesting history, 42B Goulburn Street c1828 was originally built as the Bulls Head Hotel, a notorious watering hole of its era. This striking building of sandstone and convict brick construction went on to accommodate a private school and private residence. Today, the property benefits from a valuable Airbnb licence and is currently operated as a successful short-term accommodation business, presenting both lifestyle and investment appeal.
An award-winning architectural restoration by Circa Morris-Nunn has retained many attractive original features with contemporary updates to create a stunning functional apartment rich with history and character.
White walls contrast against large Baltic pine floorboards and the magnificent Huon pine staircase culminating in a warm and inviting light-filled interior.
Open plan sitting room, kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, providing ample space for entertaining friends and family. The primary suite accommodates built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, and two further bedrooms with adjacent study space and built-in wardrobes are serviced by the central bathroom with laundry facilities.
Original fireplaces, sash windows and a beer cellar with barrel window enhance the ambience of the home whilst electric heating and two secure off street car parks provide modern convenience.
