Built circa 1898–1902 and originally known as Canobie House, the residence retains a wonderful sense of history. Hoop pine floors, pressed tin ceilings, decorative archways and French doors sit beneath high ceilings, while deep verandahs offer inviting spaces to settle in with a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.

Inside, the generous layout provides five-plus bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple living and sitting areas. An elegant dining space, dedicated billiard/games room and home office or potential sixth bedroom give everyone room to find their own corner.

Three oversized bedroom suites each feature a private ensuite-a practical advantage for visiting family, older children, multi-generational households or those considering shared accommodation.

An expansive rear deck provides space for entertaining, complemented by established gardens, an outdoor spa and a substantial rear yard. A three-bay carport and additional off-street parking add everyday practicality to this generous inner-city holding.

For buyers considering income alongside lifestyle, the bedroom and bathroom configuration offers scope to investigate executive share accommodation, a whole-house tenancy or boutique guest accommodation. Any alternative arrangement would depend on the proposed use, applicable approvals and operating requirements.

Currently operated as Classique Bed & Breakfast, the property is offered primarily as a residential purchase.

The property is advised as not heritage listed, with any future alterations, professional use, expansion or redevelopment subject to the relevant planning requirements and council approval.
