Displaying the very best of Federation Filigree architectural style and boasting high 15ft timber panel ceilings. This impressive two-storey brick and iron building, built in 1910 for Sydney’s Angus and Coote, is one of the Hunter Valley’s most iconic properties. In the same family for three generations, the property is offered for freehold sale with vacant possession. Proudly inhabiting a main street position in the heart of vibrant Dungog, the 669sqm property comprises a mix of retail and residential spaces. The building’s impressive street front façade with wide, over-footpath bullnose verandah is Heritage Listed.
At street-front are three beautifully fashioned retail spaces, with washroom facility and a separate electricity meter from the residence. Each well-appointed space commands a combined rental return of approx. $300pw. Separate from the shop fronts is an impressive family residence over two levels. At ground level is a substantial garden-facing living room with two separate entries. An updated kitchen has ample bench and storage space, electric cooktop, oven and dishwasher. There is also a modern family bathroom and separate laundry. The beautiful timber staircase rises to the upper level where an expansive lounge is an ideal entertainment and relaxation space. Four spacious king sized bedrooms upstairs offering plenty of living options or as guest rooms; the loungeroom and 2 bedrooms have French doors opening to the wide, over-footpath verandah and the remaining 2 bedrooms overlook the rear gardens. A practical bathroom completes the amenities.
Over the past decade the building has been meticulously restored to the highest standard combining the grandeur of the era with contemporary style. At the rear of the building, a very private garden fully fenced with Colourbond features manicured lawns, fruit trees, a meandering grape vine and flowering garden beds is ideal for relaxation and entertainment.
Adjacent to the block but with separate address and title, is a level 448sqm block with a B2 Local Centre Zoning, Colourbond fencing and a single carport. This block would be ideal for Home occupations or a commercial business.
Rarely does a property with such charm, character, history and versatility enter the market. With its vibrant shopping strip, calendar of annual events and activities, Dungog enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a tree-change and holiday destination. Proximity to Raymond Terrace (35mins), Newcastle (60mins) and Sydney (2.5hrs) plus rail access to Newcastle, Sydney & The New England Area serve to enhance this building’s credentials as a unique commercial and residential investment well into the future.
