A true landmark in central Albury, "Kooraburra" is a distinguished period residence that effortlessly blends historical charm with sophisticated modern living.
Positioned on a prominent 1,267 square metre allotment and surrounded by an imposing front fence defining the property's presence, this grand home offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure one of the region's most admired homes.
Built circa 1923, and bought by the retiring headmaster of Albury Grammar School in 1928, "Kooraburra" showcases the architectural grace of its era, featuring an elegant facade, wide verandas, and beautifully retained period details throughout. Australian motifs were used in the original construction with leadlight panels on the interior double doors decorated with kookaburras in a circle of gum leaves.
Inside, the home unfolds with a sense of scale and timeless elegance. Original features including soaring ceilings, decorative cornices, picture rails, leadlight windows, and polished timber flooring have been preserved and celebrated.
Recently restored and thoughtfully extended, the home caters perfectly to contemporary family living while honouring its rich heritage.
Across two expansive levels, the home offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple living areas, allowing for both intimate family life and large-scale entertaining. The ground floor is anchored by the stunning formal living and dining areas that flow through to a light-filled open plan living, meals and gourmet kitchen, equipped with stone benchtops, high-end appliances, walk in pantry storage, and a breakfast bar for casual meals. From here, doors open seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining terrace.
Upstairs is reserved entirely for the luxurious master suite. This thoughtfully designed retreat includes a spacious bedroom with elevated leafy views, a walk-in robe, and a contemporary ensuite, offering privacy and indulgence rarely found in homes of this era.
Landscaped gardens, and a sparkling in-ground pool create a resort-style feel, ideal for summer gatherings or relaxed evenings at home. Mature trees and shrubs along with established hedging provide exceptional privacy, while creating a tranquil garden setting.
Additional highlights include ducted heating and cooling, ornate feature fireplaces, exceptional storage options, a double lock-up garage with additional storage, and laundry/mudroom area, perfect for busy families.
Ideally situated, the home is just 2.2km to Albury CBD, 600m to Albury Golf Course and less than 500m from The Scots School Albury.
"Kooraburra" is more than a home - it is a piece of Albury's architectural history, reimagined for modern family living.
