Originally built 1901 as a Catholic School, the fabulous "Old Schoolhouse" now offers buyers a unique piece of history. Beautifully renovated into an extremely spacious 142sqm home with an additional detached studio ideal as a spare bedroom or home office or art studio the property is ideal for singles or couples or professionals looking for something different.
Inside, the dimensions are huge including a 12.1 x 5.9 metre living space and 7.2 x 5.9 metre kitchen/meals designed for culinary enthusiasts, the expansive stainless steel kitchen countertops, paired with an Ariston 5-ring gas and electric oven, and a generous island bench, form the heart of this welcoming home, inspiring creativity and culinary delights.
The first thing you notice when entering are the colourful stained-glass windows, wide Cyprus floorboards and a north-easterly aspect that bathes the interior of the home in morning light. And above all that are the vast 5.3m high ceilings throughout creating a real sense of grandeur. Upstairs the mezzanine level bedroom with a whimsical Juliette balcony, accessible via a graceful, curved staircase is unique (there are also approved plans to extend the upstairs bedroom space into two rooms).
Tucked away on a private road on the edge of town, not a main street like most old churches and schools, the massive 4,877sqm block with breath-taking views serves as testament to Australia's history blending yesteryear with modern creature comforts.
Just 10 minutes off the Hume Highway and 20 minutes to Yass, set amidst the historic buildings of St Patrick's Catholic Church, the former Catholic Convent and Presbytery, this loved treasure forms part of a well-preserved cluster of buildings on the elevated side of the village of Binalong NSW.
Double brick construction and roof insulation provide a cosy refuge in winter with an open fire in the kitchen or curl up in the lounge room in front of the combustion fire. In summer a reverse air-conditioner and ceiling fans keep temperatures comfortable.
You'll also love the expansive 62sqm sheltered veranda with spectacular views a special place to unwind and entertain is. Looking from the deck you can enjoy the picturesque evergreen pines and the charming church bell tower adding to the enchanting scenery of the 4,877sqm block.
Equipped with a guttering system, designed to efficiently preserve water for garden use and transform into a protective curtain of water in the rare event of a fire outbreak.
Opportunities:
- Short-term rental and Airbnb opportunities are a great option, the "Old Schoolhouse" has previously operated (for around 5 years) as a proven and popular Airbnb renting at $250.00 per night..
- Council approved plans are also available for an expansion/modification to the upstairs mezzanine level bedroom, providing a larger bedroom and sitting room option.
- Subdivision - Based on the Council Land Environment Plan (LEP) minimum lot size, there may be a possibility to subdivide the block in two (subject to the normal DA process and council approval)
After two decades of cherished ownership and meticulous restoration the current owner reluctantly parts with this beloved home, presenting you with a unique opportunity to become the next steward of this charming piece of Australian history.
