An exceptional residential and commercial opportunity awaits in the heart of the popular Pyrenees township of Avoca. Set on a Commercial 1 Zoned allotment with dual street frontage, this unique property includes the elegant heritage residence Trelawney House and two adjoining High Street shops (134 & 136 High Street).
Offering versatility and potential, this property provides multiple income streams - lease both shops and the residence, or live on-site and operate your own boutique businesses right at your doorstep.
Trelawney House - 63 Rutherford Street
A charming piece of Avoca history, this solid double-brick two to three-bedroom home (circa 1920s) showcases timeless character and refined craftsmanship. Once fronting High Street, the residence now enjoys access from Rutherford Street, with the original grand concrete steps and bullnose verandah still highlighting its historic street presence.
Inside, classic period features abound - high ceilings, sash windows, decorative mantels, and open fireplaces throughout. The home has been thoughtfully refreshed with new floor coverings, fresh paint, and an updated bathroom.
The country-style kitchen includes a wood heater and gas cooking, while the adjoining formal dining room (or optional third bedroom) adds flexibility. The generous living room features both a wood heater and split system for year-round comfort. The modernised bathroom/laundry includes a walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet.
The Opportunity
This property presents a rare chance to secure a multi-use freehold in a thriving regional township - ideal for investors, business owners, or lifestyle seekers wanting the best of both worlds: heritage charm, income potential, and a vibrant community setting.
This is a one-off small‑town commercial building with a characterful early 20th‑century brick parapet and intact shopfront elements that give it clear heritage value. Interiors are utilitarian and altered for commercial use (laundrette/office), so while the façade is architecturally interesting for conservation or adaptive‑reuse, the internal finish and layout are modest and not indicative of high‑end residential design.
