Overview

This heritage residence, built in 1897, stands as a remarkable fusion of historic elegance and contemporary functionality, located in the heart of Drouin’s prized district. It caters to various lifestyles with its versatile zoning (CZ1), offering possibilities for residential, investment, or commercial use.

The home’s grand design instantly catches the eye with its preserved period features such as ornate cornices, ceiling roses, and soaring 12-foot ceilings complemented by plantation shutters and quality light fittings, providing an impressive and timeless ambiance. Despite its age, the property benefits from modern updates ensuring comfort and convenience.

Set on a substantial 1135m² allotment, the residence features four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across two living zones, enabling flexible living arrangements. There are two fully equipped kitchens, formal lounge and dining areas, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces enhanced by bifold sliding doors that open to an extensive deck with gazebos and BBQ amenities – perfect for social gatherings or serene relaxation within beautifully landscaped gardens.

The master suite offers built-in robes and a private ensuite, while additional bedrooms include built-in storage to maximise practicality. The secondary living area at the back provides an independent, self-contained space with bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and living room, ideal for multigenerational families or dual occupancy.

Heating and cooling needs are met through a combination of a new multi-head reverse cycle system, split system air conditioning, a solid wood heater, and an energy-efficient heat pump hot water system, enhancing year-round livability. The primary kitchen is fitted with premium appliances including a 1000mm gas cooktop and electric oven, soft-close cabinetry, and bespoke tiling, while the secondary kitchen supports efficient additional living or rental use.

Beyond the home, practical features include a large four-vehicle carport, a fully concrete, powered and insulated 10m x 8m shed with workshop potential, and an adjoining studio outfitted with air conditioning and power, expanding functionality for work or hobby spaces.

Located minutes from Drouin's CBD and transport links, this property is poised to benefit from the area's continual growth, with its zoning and layout offering lucrative prospects for businesses, long-term rentals, or short-stay accommodation ventures. The sizable land further holds subdivision or commercial development potential (subject to approval), making it a distinctive offering for families, investors, professionals, or entrepreneurs seeking a blend of heritage charm and future opportunity.
