Eclectic with a touch of the unusual would be an apt description of this distinctive property and if it could talk, it would seek an owner of similar ilk who has imagination to enhance its contemporary and historic charms.

Its location is steeped in history with the Lion of Waterloo hotel literally on the corner while at Teamsters Park, next door, is reputed to be the location of the last recorded pistol duel fought in Australia between Dr. Samuel Curtis and Mr. B. Sheridan back in 1854.

They fortunately missed each other and were taken away by the local constabulary.

Surrounded by parklands such as Teamsters Park it has the Wellington Christian School, child care facilities, Centenary Park, Tennis Courts and other homes of historical interest alongside contemporary designed quality homes close by.

The front section of this classic dates back to the mid 1800′s and is reported to have been a driver stop for horse drawn passenger carriages with this area now utilised as 3 bedrooms with the bathroom and kitchen located nearby.

Vivid decoration of these areas could go two ways, be a definite talking point or may render you speechless either way the potential is here for the next owner.

At the rear of the property is the wonderful extension that houses the living room with a pitched roof line, exposed beams and timber floors.

Its expanse is air conditioned while a marble mantle pierce surrounds the fireplace that contains a combustion heater.

Speaking of expanse, this home is situated on 2,500 square metres of land with well established grounds that may have the potential for dual occupancy, not duel as in pistol, subject to your usual due diligence enquiries at Wellington Council.

7 Gipps Street Montefiores is rare offering and is available for inspection by calling your agent Gary Francis on 0428 459 830.
