22-26 Cunningham Street, South Burnie TAS 7320

The Lodge is a magnificent home set in a private, beautiful and large 4811m2 mature garden setting within walking distance of the CBD and the beach.
The home was built in 1951 and conjures memories of affluent APPM times when it was established as an accommodation home for directors and dignitaries visiting Burnie. The property has significant historical value for Burnie and has retained its stately charm and period character. During its time the lodge housed hundreds of national and international dignitaries before it was closed and operated as a B&B and in recent years a private home.
The grand scale and elegance of the home is revealed on entering the front foyer, to the right is an impressive formal lounge with views from the bay window and balcony across Burnie to the sea. To the left is a formal dining, also enjoying views of the sea and has glass doors opening to the gardens. The family/breakfast room and kitchen opens to an expansive paved courtyard with views across the lush gardens and provides seamless access to outdoor areas. Also in this wing are 3 guest bedrooms (named Walter, Massy and Greene) after the original chairman of APPM, Sir Walter Massy-Greene, 2 with ensuites, plus a 3rd bathroom and small kitchenette. 2 of these bedrooms also have small balconies to enjoy the views. At the rear of the home another wing includes 3 large bedrooms, living area, bathroom and laundry.
The home is kept warm with ducted heating throughout and underfloor heating in tiled living areas. A central covered courtyard houses a hot tub. A separate cottage provides extra accommodation. Dual access driveway leads from Cunningham Street through the gardens to Studholme Street. There is ample parking plus a single garage under the home and double garage at the rear of the gardens.
This is a unique and rare opportunity to purchase a property of historical significance and one of Burnie's hidden secrets.
