Originally built as the Farmers Inn Hotel, this magnificent circa 1900 property offers an extraordinary amount of space, character and versatility on a substantial 1,948m² allotment in the heart of Macarthur.
Extensively renovated in 2007-2008, including re-stumping, re-wiring and re-plumbing, the home retains its beautiful period features including high ceilings, pressed metal ceilings, polished timber floors, timber-lined walls, ornate fireplaces and original architectural details throughout.
The sheer size of the home is impressive, offering six bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple living areas, a study and office, with a flexible floorplan that lends itself particularly well to large or extended families, multi-generational living or those simply wanting plenty of room to spread out.
At the heart of the home is a spacious, well-appointed kitchen featuring a Falcon double oven, generous bench space and walk-in pantry, adjoining a large family living and dining area with wood heating and direct access to the outdoor entertaining deck.
One of the property's standout features is the former tearoom, a magnificent 6.2m x 9m room with soaring pressed metal ceilings, skylights and wood heating. This remarkable space could serve as an enormous additional living and entertaining area, games room or creative space, with plenty of scope for other uses.
The property features evaporative cooling and 3 combustion wood heaters.
The established gardens are another highlight, providing a beautiful, private setting with mature trees, winding pathways, lawns and an abundance of greenery. There is also excellent shedding and workshop space, rear access, solar power and substantial rainwater storage.
Previously operated as boutique accommodation and tearooms, the property also offers the possibility of returning to a hospitality or accommodation use, subject to any necessary approvals.
Located in the historic township of Macarthur, within easy reach of Hamilton, Port Fairy, Warrnambool, and the Budj Bim National Park, this is a property quite unlike the typical family home.
For buyers seeking a substantial character residence and/or business opportunity with exceptional space, flexibility and a fascinating history, 37 High Street represents outstanding value.
