1860's COTTAGE (26 Strachans Road, Mornington) UNDER OFFER
VACANT LAND 619sqm (approx) UNDER OFFER
Built in the early 1860s, this historically significant and well-preserved Georgian-style home on 619sqm (approx.). The oldest continually occupied house in the Mornington township, the property is being offered for the first time in 30 years. The adjoining lot of equal dimensions is available to be sold with or independent of the home and lends itself to further subdivision (STCA). Illustrious owners have included Mornington Lord Mayor and environmentalist, Robert Nunn and noted University of Melbourne botanist, David Angus. There are fireplaces in the dining and lounge rooms as well as the 2 larger of 3 bedrooms where high pressed metal ceilings overlook solid Baltic timber floors. The kitchen is anchored by a fifth fireplace, or hearth, that heats the bathroom on cooler days. Hand-made bricks line the pathways with an original roof of Cornish slate adding gravitas to a property that occupies an enviable position about 350m to Fisherman's Beach with off-street-parking. This property represents a rare opportunity to become custodians of a legacy.
PLEASE NOTE that due to COVID19 restrictions, only 20 people are allowed on the property at a time. Depending on attendance numbers, you may be required to wait to inspect. All those inspecting will be asked to complete an “inspection declaration form” before entering the property (to save time, you can call ahead to have to have this sent to you via email). Our team have all downloaded the COVIDsafe app and it is our preference that all open attendees do the same.
