Beechworth VIC 3747

This significant and centrally located property offers flexibility, multiple accommodation or lifestyle options for an astute buyer who's looking for extended family or multiple family living arrangements! Comprising two titles and adjacent to Spring Creek, the site is notable as the location of the 1874 bareknuckle fight between Ned Kelly and Wild Isaiah Wright the winner of which was of course the famous Mr. Kelly! The central location has you on the doorstep of the best of historic Beechworth and affords the ability to tap into the booming tourism market for those seeking a tree change. Offering expansive accommodation options, the improvements of the property are divided into three separate dwellings, Picket Cottage - positioned on the street front, is a one bedroom, one-bathroom cosy cottage complete with its own kitchenette, rear deck and single carport. The quality of the finish is high and would appeal to an older relative or teenager seeking to live in an extended family scenario. The main dwelling is a magnificent heritage style home spread over two storeys and comprises Wright House a two bedroom, two-bathroom self-contained residence and Kelly House a three bedroom, three bathroom residence on the upper level. Currently each area is fully self-contained with their own kitchens and generous living areas, however a clever piece of forward thinking has allowed both the Kelly & Wright areas to be linked by an internal stairway with minimal renovation works needed and providing a more traditional five bedrooms, five bathroom family home.
The wrap around verandah overlooks the beautiful heritage Poplar trees lining Spring Creek and provides the perfect spot for the family to gather to enjoy some quality time together. There is also plenty of storage areas, full laundry and Neds surprise to complete the picture. This is a significant property with a highly desirable central location, if you are considering a tree change and needing extra living accommodation or a property large enough to cater to a multiple family situation then this property deserves your attention!
