Historic “Bangalow Bijou” is sure to set the bar high for Bangalow property as it comes to the market for the first time in years.
Steeped in a romantic history of diamonds, horse racing, love and prestige, “Bangalow Bijou” is one of Bangalow’s oldest and best preserved examples of magnificent Edwardian architecture. Arrival is one of those memorable moments, something out of a 19th century romantic novel, charming, welcoming, and bound to impress.
Classic Edwardian features sit comfortably alongside modern comforts in a clever, light-filled floor plan that offers intimate living, grand entertaining and sumptuous accommodation. Ornate pressed-tin ceilings, stained-glass windows, polished timber floors and timber-lined walls are just some of the stunning features so beautifully preserved. A formal reception room accommodates lounge and dining including a central fire place. The country-style kitchen, brilliantly appointed with twin ovens perfect for catering large functions, opens directly onto a north-facing deck and overlooks the glamorous pool. Solid timber flooring continues into the modern extension with kitchenette/wet bar, perfect for family living area, separate apartment or party space. There is room for two cars and oodles of storage in the garage that reclaimed the original stables. Modern creature comforts include floor-ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, gas log heater and security system for peace-of-mind.
“Our family have really loved spending time here. There’s a lot of love and romance in this home”
Set on approximately 1.66 acres of photogenic spots to record romantic moments including formal gardens, majestic and ancient feature trees, vineyard, creek frontage and stunning northerly views. And of course, this much land on the edge of Bangalow could prove ideal for future development (STCA).
Bangalow is arguably the jewel in the Northern River’s crown being only 15 minutes from Byron Bay’s vibrant town centre, restaurants, cafes, world-famous surf beaches and only 20 minutes from Ballina/Byron Gateway Airport for easy commute to Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle.
