115 Dunlop Street, Mortlake VIC 3272

'Penrose House', a prominent 2 storey bluestone dwelling circa 1867 located in the main street of Mortlake presents as a unique, attractive and convenient living opportunity and is offered for sale for the first time in 50 years.
The home has been tastefully appointed within the existing footprint of the original construction and extended in the 1960's. Period features of doors, windows, architraves, skirting boards and ceiling cornice have all been well maintained and present in good condition. The property features a spectacular sheltered garden on its expansive 2000sqmt allotment, with mature English trees and a Lemon scented gum lined drive surrounding a large manicured lawn.
Zoned Commercial (C1Z), and positioned centrally in Dunlop St, the property offers the opportunity for multiple uses. It currently incorporates both a residence and an adjoining office/showroom which is tenanted and generates a useful supplementary monthly income.
Penrose House is configured into 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in addition to 2 living areas. It is temperature controlled in winter with a series of off peak electric heat banks and needs no air conditioning over summer.
A 2 car garage and lockup store room in addition to a garden cottage workshop completes the built improvements all with light and power connected.
Penrose is incredibly convenient to the facilities of this very well serviced small country town. Within a minutes walk of supermarket, pubs (2), post office, newsagent, butcher, police, hardware, ambulance, Olympic swimming pool and bowling green. One minutes drive to the football ground, golf course, medical centre and P-12 school. The only thing missing is the racecourse - and that's only a 5 minute drive.
Warrnambool is half an hour, Geelong is under 2 hours and Ballarat one and a half hours.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a part of Western Victorian heritage, an area scattered with prominent bluestone homesteads and pubs. Penrose is not of that scale or prior usage but does nevertheless represent a significant part of local history.

Inspections are welcome by appointment with the agent.

The property is offered for sale with an asking price of $570,000
