36 Thorburn Street, Nimbin NSW 2480

Put simply this property, circa 1920 is a beautiful home in a good street with a great history, in the village of Nimbin. Now an elegant home tastefully refurbished with a touch of designer-flair, it was once the solidly built Nimbin Convent - home to this area's Catholic nuns from 1937-1959. Empathetic of its past, the current owners have created a retreat-like 3 x bedroom residence in the main dwelling, where classic style is paired with modern and convenient living. Impeccably presented & lovingly maintained, this "high-end" home is awe-inspiring in its entirety.
And in the spirit of sharing the home's serenity, this property has been configured to house a separate & private 1 x bedroom dwelling adjacent the multiple car accommodations which is currently utilized as a self-contained Council Approved dwelling. Known as "Cheeky DOGS Nimbin" this spacious 'studio' provides a healthy and constant income which is a bonus for the potential buyer - but of course you could retain it as your own family/guest accommodation.
Welcoming from the moment you step through the manicured gardens, onto the wide verandahs, then into the large entry foyer, you are aware of its beautiful transformation to a large family home whilst keeping many of the original features of its 1920's heritage. From the French butlers' kitchen sink to the liberal use of black-framed louver windows against pristine antique-white lining boards, the home exudes class befitting of a 'Country Style' magazine. There are two very large reception areas - one formal and one informal - the latter with lovely stone flooring. All rooms other than this large entertainment space have warm polished teak floorboards & there are high ceilings throughout. The oversized bedrooms, the separate dining room and the long kitchen open out to extra wide screened verandahs through french leadlight doors. The kitchen and informal entertainment areas are mostly made of north-facing glass to capture views over a large & shady yard to Blue Knob Mountain.
One for all seasons with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a wood heater, you will feel like you're in the country, yet you are right in the convenient heart of Nimbin with its vibrant cafes, shops and services. Browse the gallery of photos to see the myriad of features in this mesmerizing home. With such an enviable location, this is not to be missed!
