Beautiful, large, federation Home, C1900 was originally the prestigious home of the Union steamship Co. Manager. Restored to its former glory in 2004.

Situated in an elevated part of the Harbour-side town of Strahan and only 5 mins walk to town centre, waterfront, cafes, restaurants, supermarket and post office and 10 mins drive to Ocean Beach.

The house is unique in that it still has nearly all of the original features; leadlight windows in some rooms, most of the original timber floors (untouched under the 4 year old carpet), walls, cornices, ceiling roses and four panelled timber doors throughout. Sporting 10ft High ceilings and a hallway as long as cricket pitch. The Huge original 4 panelled front door, with original brass lion-headed door handle, opens into a majestic, arched and entrance foyer. Heating is ducted to all rooms and currently runs off a large wood burner which is outside (much cleaner than inside).

A total of 5 bedrooms; 4 double bedrooms (plus large parents retreat or study adjoining the main bedroom) all have their own original tile surrounded English fireplaces. A 5th bedroom has a mezzanine sleeping nook accessible by ladder, great teenage hideout or secluded study area. Built in robes in 3 bedrooms. The other 2 bedrooms were originally used as formal rooms rather than bedrooms.

Huge kitchen/dining area with plenty of bench, drawer and cupboard space, if you like entertaining you will love the large gas rotisserie oven with 4 burners plus long fish burner which will definitely come in handy as Strahan is also a renown fishing port. The oven is integrated into the original old chimney space (which once housed the old wood stove). It is now modernized and fully lined with stainless steel and a powerful exhaust fan which is ducted up and out of the chimney. Enormous, walk in pantry, is actually another small room in its own right, has plenty of storage space and still has the original meat safe type screening over the door.

The dining area opens up onto an enormous entertaining deck which in turn overlooks a small orchard section of the yard, with apple, plum, cherry and nectarine trees. Large Sunny living room over looks the back yard and duck pond. Spacious modern bathroom with extra long and deep bath and 2 basins in vanity.

Under cover areas for 2 to 3 cars. Large colourbond shed/workshop, plus smaller timber shed/studio. Large dry lock up storage underneath house and the driveway is lined with birches.

The large park like gardens boast lush green lawns and beautiful trees including natives, rhododendrons, fruiting olives and alders. The soil is fabulous for digging and growing things, while water is plentiful in this region. Toward the back of the yard is a large (spring fed) duck pond which comes with a friendly resident Muscovy duck by the name of Hildegard. There is also an old shed that was used to house chickens in the far corner of the yard.
