• Charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom heritage home

• Ideal location in picturesque Candelo village

This iconic home has a captivating presence 'just across the bridge' in the heritage streetscape of Candelo. Built in the 1880s, 21 Sharpe St is filled with history and stories and in its former lives was also a boarding house and a bank.

Numerous original features remain intact adding character and charm throughout including high skirting boards, pine-lined walls and ceilings, double-hung timber windows, exposed-brick fireplaces and high ceilings.

One of the other standout features of this property is the separate, fully self-contained studio which has endless potential as a second income stream. Although it was previously used as a small art gallery it could also be an Airbnb, a permanent rental, granny flat or an office/studio for a creative or somebody working from home.

Inside, there's three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, all with ceiling fans and exposed fireplaces. Also upstairs, is a large bathroom with separate shower and luxurious heritage claw-foot bath. The inviting upstairs verandah wraps around two sides of the home providing numerous sun-drenched spots to enjoy depending on the time of day.

Downstairs there's a large formal sitting room and small separate dining room. There's also a large open-plan main living room which has glass French doors along the northern wall allowing the room to be flooded with natural light. There's also a wood heater installed in the brick fireplace in this room. This space connects to the home's kitchen which has double exposed brick fireplaces, large electric oven with gas cooktop, dishwasher, overhead skylights and a separate walk-in pantry.

Also downstairs, there's a small room off the kitchen that could be a study or a store room, a bathroom, laundry, extra storage cupboard under the stairs and a sweet gauze-enclosed back verandah with a lovely green outlook over the backyard.

The self-contained studio has a large front room which could act as a living space, a bedroom at the back, recently renovated bathroom, kitchenette, separate pantry/laundry/store room and two lovely private decks- one off the back and one on the northern side overlooking the garden. The home's large block is 1,000 square metres and has lush established cottage gardens, two off-street parking spaces next to the studio and a quaint garden/storage shed in the backyard.

Be charmed by both this heritage property and the thriving village of Candelo. There's everything you need within walking distance of 21 Sharpe St including a popular café, general store, service station, post office and pub. There's also a primary school, pre-school, beautiful town park and 50m swimming pool. Centrally located on the Sapphire Coast hinterland, the regional centre of Bega is 20 minutes' drive away, and the spectacular beaches at Tathra, Merimbula and Pambula are all less than 30 minutes' drive.
