Gracing the entry into Bermagui since the 1930's, this iconic property is a familiar sight, affectionately known to the locals as the “Opera House”,
With a charm and style, all of its own, this home offers a rare opportunity to preserve or renovate this romantic structure whilst maintaining its wonderful, essential character
Now being offered on its own individual ¼ acre block, for the first time ever. This parcel with the main residence was part of a larger ¾ acre site that has been held in the present ownership since 1969.
The ground floor offers a gracious-sized open-plan living and dining rooms. A focal point is the grand fireplace with its solid marble surround, sculpted and coloured to appear as ornately carved wood. The owners would be prepared to negotiate to include the antique items presently furnishing this room.
On this same level is kitchen with meals space, opening out onto a balcony giving views over Bermagui River. The main bedroom (featuring a large four poster bed already donated to the National Trust) also has ensuite access to the main bathroom (which incorporates 2nd laundry facilities).
External stairs lead to the upstairs level comprising attic-style bedrooms 2, 3, 4 & 5, a main lounge room, and a basic but functional bathroom.
Sharing the site is a second, 3 bedroom and sunroom cottage “Dr Watson's Old Surgery” once used as consulting rooms with its adjoining residence.
Centrally located opposite the parkland reserve fronting Bermagui River, and secluded from the road by beautiful mature gardens, this is indeed a very special opportunity.
NB: The adjoining ¼ acre block is also available for sale by negotiation.
