This impressive residence is steeped in history. Built in 1905 as a luxury dwelling, this stately home has since been re-purposed as a private hospital, prestige boarding house, (both operated by Nurse Hill), four flats, restaurant and glamorous retail outlet.
The immense proportions of the rooms are remarkable, with the home being approx. 28 squares and sitting on a 1348m2 corner block facing west to Rouse Street and very close to the town centre. The largest two rooms are approx. 4.7 x 8 m and 7.1 x 5.2 m - the photos really can't relay the spaciousness.
Period features abound, including stained and fancy glass, pressed metal ceilings, French doors, ornate handles, cornices, skirting boards and the like, however, it is not heritage listed. There are good views and aspects from three balconies, a private courtyard with views to leafy Logan Street and views to the west from the front.
The garden has good bones but is not in mint condition and the structure is in reasonably good condition, with cosmetics and bits and pieces to do, but with a little TLC, this grand mistress will have her way again.
With 10 rooms in total, three bathrooms and five fireplaces, she is able to be used for commercial purpose and as the property served as a retail outlet until recently, the wheelchair access, disabled car park and fire requirements are already installed.
As an example of her scope, there is enough room for two boutique accommodations to the front, with a large and luxurious residence to the rear. With mixed zoning that can be changed from residential to commercial, the possibility is there to create whatever your vision might be. Currently the zoning and rates are classed as residential.
With the Tenterfield bypass imminently deterring passing traffic from our main street and the re-development of our town centre already completed, these main road prestige properties have already experienced a rapid increase in value and interest.
