Overview

This stone-constructed home at 6 John Street, Penola, merges classic charm with practical contemporary living in a flexible layout that caters well to a range of buyers, including first homeowners, downsizers, and investors looking for a welcoming holiday rental or Airbnb option.

The solid stone walls and Colourbond roof provide durability and character, forming a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the residence. A key enhancement is the transformation of the former central bedroom into a spacious living area that connects directly with the characterful kitchen—equipped with an upgraded oven and pantry—to facilitate comfortable living and entertaining.

The home’s adaptability is further highlighted by the former lounge room, now a bedroom featuring a slow-combustion fire, offering a cozy retreat during Penola's cooler months. An additional smaller third room offers versatile use as a study, craft room, or home office, supporting changing lifestyles and work-from-home needs.

Outdoor and practical living benefits are provided by a large powered shed with concrete flooring and a separate garden shed, offering ample space for storage, hobbies, or workshop use, enhancing the property’s functionality beyond the living areas.
