Rare opportunity to become the proud owner of a property steeped in history and vintage charm. Located within the CBD of bustling Heathcote, this property is comprised of two main buildings, the brick ‘Church’ (c 1955) and wooden ‘Hall’ (c 1850).
Ideally set up for family living and a commercial enterprise, taking advantage of Heathcote’s prime position as gateway to Lake Eppalock and high exposure to passing traffic.
Originally constructed as St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, but re-configured into a spacious family home, the brick ‘Church’ has endless potential. Currently designed as three bedrooms, study, lounge room, sunroom, kitchen, bathroom and massive upstairs living space, the design and execution of the renovation means walls can be removed and the space re-configured to suit your family and lifestyle.
The wooden ‘Hall’ is currently used as an art gallery but would brilliantly suit a variety of commercial pursuits (STCA) including a small shop or cafe, dance studio or anything in between. It would also make a fantastic extension of the living space as a kids retreat or rumpus room – plenty of space for table tennis, pool table, movies, music and more.
The ‘Hall’ was moved to its current position in 1863 and was the original Presbyterian Church in Heathcote. Magnificent original features include Baltic pine floor boards, arches, gothic colonial windows and priceless original appeal. Kitchen area, small office, toilet and storage room. The building has been re-stumped, re-wired and re-plumbed, has gas heating, split system heating and cooling, and ceiling fans.
Both buildings have well ventilated and spacious storage areas underneath; in particular the brick ‘Church’, which has genuine potential for use as a cellar and storage facility.
A workshop is securely positioned behind the wooden ‘Hall’ providing a space for outdoor entertaining or for a handyman to store tools, and a covered, partially enclosed area underneath the deck of the ‘Church’ would be perfect for gardeners.
Situated on almost half an acre of land, there is side gate access to the rear yard for vehicles.
Literally within metres of all of Heathcote’s main attractions, this property is sure to appeal to a wide span of people from all walks of life. Only 30 minutes to Bendigo and 90 minutes to Melbourne.
