23 Ford Street, Beechworth VIC 3747

Opportunities to secure a landmark property in the heart of Beechworth are rare, and today, one such opportunity awaits.

Originally built in 1926 and once serving as the Rectory for the neighbouring Anglican Church, this distinguished residence stands proudly on approximately 1,500sqm of prime land, just 100 metres from central Beechworth via a sealed pathway. As it approaches its centenary, the home remains a striking example of timeless craftsmanship, featuring a red brick exterior, solid granite foundations, and an iron roof.

Step inside through the grand, ornate portico to a welcoming foyer adorned with stained-glass windows. The adjacent lounge room, complete with a wood combustion heater, flows into a formal dining room with split-system heating and cooling. The kitchen is both practical and charming, offering generous storage, a walk-in pantry, electric cooking, and a delightful adjoining breakfast room.

With up to five bedrooms, this home offers flexibility for growing families, creative pursuits, or those seeking dedicated home office spaces. The central bathroom includes a shower, vanity, and toilet, while one of the front bedrooms would be ideal as a home office and features built-in storage, a wood heater, split system air conditioner, and a private entrance from the front porch. A spacious rear laundry leads to beautifully maintained gardens.

Additional living space is provided by a tranquil sunroom along the western side – the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Throughout the home, high pressed-metal ceilings, large windows, and light-filled interiors combine to create a welcoming and character-filled environment.

Outside, the property is equally impressive, with established gardens, exposed granite foundations, under-house storage, and a single carport for off-street parking. Solar panels and an electric hot water system add energy efficiency.

With potential for subdivision or further development (STCA), this is a truly unique opportunity to secure a property steeped in history, rich in charm, and ideally positioned just moments from the centre of Beechworth.
