One of the 4 large front rooms was fully redone to solve moisture, told and rust problems. All the original wooden floors ( oregon pine) were sanded down and refinished, in the same way as the all the other woodwork. This room is a photographic studio now.

Occupying an impressive plot of 1175 sqm (aprox. 560 sqm building) of the prestigious Church Street, this extremely versatile property offers a variety of business possibilities to a visionary investor.
It perfectly suits a variety of business such as: an art studio/gallery/shop/coffee shop as well as doctors and practitioners rooms, offices, Airbnb, or even a high end restaurant/lounge/sushi bar.
Well, placed, in the heart of town, the property is surrounded by beautiful trees, heritage sites, coffee shops and art studios. It's within walking distance of the main churches, Q. Square, supermarkets, schools and just 5 minutes drive to the Mall.
The current configuration has two well defined areas, that are divided by a beautifully designed door: The business area (currently used as a photographic studio) in the front, features 4 stunning extra large rooms and a bathroom. The residential area features 3 bedrooms, 2 new bathrooms, large living room, new open plan kitchen and dining area, living room, foyer or office area , a large entertainment area with BBQ, a newly refinished pool, pool shelter, car port for at least 2 cars, beautiful manicured garden with children’s entertainment area, including a tree house, a zen garden, a garage, backyard workshop, an extra outside toilet and much more.
