27 Main Street, Chiltern
CHILTERN - History For Sale
There are I am sure many stories that this magnificent old home built in the 1870s could tell.
The current owners have lived there in retirement for about 25 years but prior to that was the Doctors residence and surgery for Chiltern & District residents. Legend has it that one such doctor had a donkey that used to wander through the house from time to time. Now whether that story has been embellished as time goes on one can't say how ever what is real is the fact that the home is a substantial triple brick 7 room period home, on an large block of 2656m² opposite a park in the centre of historic Chiltern and within walking distance of the swimming pool and within cooee of Rutherglen's wine district .
The character of the property is enhanced by the large established trees, wide jarrah floored bull nose verandah on two sides, 14 foot ceilings, huge skirting boards, 5 open fire places, quality gas hydronic heating throughout plus reverse cycle in kitchen which has an old cellar awaiting an energetic owner to do a bit of digging etc to return it to a functional asset.
Some of the charming features of the era such ventilation boxes for cooling and reminders of past use such as surgery bell in waiting room of the doctors surgery.
The home was last renovated 25 years ago so its a blank canvass in many respects from which to work from. There is a possibility to extend upwards subject to council approval.
There are 4 Bedrooms (or 3 & a study). Separate kitchen with wood and electric stove. Either a formal dining room or lounge, plus an area at the back that could be upgraded at minimal expense and inconvenience to become a family room. The bathroom is a modern flavour with a toilet inside and an external toilet. Double garage.
Outdoor living would be on the massive verandahs that are at the front and northern side of the home or a small pergola area at the rear of the home. The property is of four titles with a total area of 2656m² however included in the bundle is a block that could be sold separately should the property not be sold as a whole.
A two minute stroll will have you at the local supermarket and bakery or one of the many other shops including a chemist and several antique/ old wares shops.
