Tulloona, is one of the oldest known two storey weatherboard residences in the Lismore urban area.
Built in 1895 Tulloona is a rare surviving National Heritage Listed, late Victorian period mansion, with fine examples of design elements that exemplify opulent Victorian taste.
Recently renovated and restored, complying with strict Heritage guidelines this home boasts 3.4m high ceilings throughout , a wonderful central staircase of impressive proportions with cedar balustrade and 4 rich Victorian marble mantelpieces throughout the mansion.
Sited on 3787 sq m of private parkland with a new sparkling in-ground pool and adequate space for off-street car parking the home features hardwood tongue and groove walls and floorboards, bay windows, lead lighting and wide elegant verandahs with decorative cast iron lace panelling.
Amongst many of the homes’ wonderful features, it boasts an enormous formal lounge room with bay windows and french doors leading out onto the eastern verandah.
Leading upstairs from the gracious cedar balustrade are six very large bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms feature marble fireplaces and three of the bedrooms have lovely french doors leading out onto the upstairs verandah.
Also featured downstairs are two other rooms resplendent with open fireplaces that are currently used as a dining room and study but could easily be used as two additional bedrooms plus there is another modern third bathroom .
Amongst the renovations completed recently is a new modern efficient kitchen looking out to the pool area.
Also, the old school house has now been converted to a separate rear detached cottage style studio with kitchenette and the property’s fourth bathroom.
Tullona was originally built as, and is currently, a private residence but has in the past operated as a Bed & Breakfast/Guest House, Professional Premises and as a Chapel .
Now resplendent with lovely new bathrooms, freshly painted, new roof and landscaped gardens, located only minutes to Southern Cross University and two major hospitals, yet only a scenic 30 – 40 minute drive to both Ballina and Byron Bay, this property would once again be ideal for use as a Bed & Breakfast/Guest House.
This magnificent home is genuinely for sale and all sincere offers will considered.
