60 Stanley St

Positioned on approx. 963sqm, the former 'Jacobs Brick Store' stands testament to Victorian era elegance, now superbly updated to cater to a modern lifestyle. Constructed in 1906 this substantial building has witnessed history unfold within its walls, recent renovations creating the feeling of stepping into a world where classic charm and contemporary luxury meet. Part of the ground floor is the currrent location of an award winning cafe, with two adjoining multipurpose areas offering the option of extending the commercial aspect or providing further accommodation space. With magnificent formal living spaces on either level, the original staircase leads up to a cosy library nook and window seat, and a gleaming modern kitchen that opens out to a suncatching upper storey deck - the perfect spot to relax and take in views over the rooftops to the surrounding hills and inlet. Soaring ceilings, original skirting boards and doors, spectacular pressed metal details, multiple fireplaces with ornate mantles, leadlights- the property has been painstakingly restored with a meticulous eye for detail to spectacularly blend the charm of yesteryear with the convenience of today. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 modern bathrooms on the upper level, easily lending itself to high end holiday accommodation or perfectly catering to the largest of families. Recent additions include solar panels, zoned RC/AC, ducted heating, and solar hot water system. The fully fenced gardens include a variety of fruit trees, rear lane access, a 9x12m LU garage, carport/storage area and open parking space for multiple cars. A unique opportunity where history and luxury combine, with further potential only limited by your imagination.
