Imagine mining gold in the local Bungendore quartz reefs, harvesting wattle bark and rabbit hides to send to Sydney and dodging the bushrangers who roamed far and wide across the region. This was Bungendore in 1879, a time when stage coaches passed through 3 times a week between Cooma and Sydney, and the first train was still 6 years away.
Originally built in the mid-1800s as Bungendore's first hotel and commercial inn, the Royal Terrace is a remarkable historic residence, set on a substantial 2,578sqm block in the heart of town. The property combines timeless character, generous proportions and modern comforts in a truly captivating setting.
This is a rare opportunity to secure one of Bungendore's most significant and historic homes.
Rich in history and original craftsmanship, the home showcases many treasured period features, including high ceilings, spotted gum and other native timber floors, traditional sash windows, cedar door and window architraves, and a number of striking fireplaces with distinctive original timber and marble mantels - 33 Turallo Terrace even has a ballroom. This home is with natural light and has picturesque views of the established gardens.
Once the domain of stage coach travellers, miners and occasional high society ballroom events, today the Royal Inn is more suited to family living. The residence could offer five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated study and multiple living areas. Historic charm is thoughtfully balanced with practical updates, creating inviting spaces that honour the home's heritage while providing large living areas. Like all historic properties, there is always more to do to create Bungendore's best historic home or you can take your time and renew and revel in the original and feel the history every minute of the day.
The well-appointed kitchen blends country character with modern functionality. Featuring a 90cm Smeg oven, butler sink, walk-in pantry and a charming pass-through window to the dining room, it is a space designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
The bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, with the main bathroom showcasing a classic clawfoot bathtub and striking black-and-white tiling that perfectly complements the home's period elegance.
Outside, established gardens, mature shade trees and expansive lawns create a private sanctuary with ample space for families to enjoy. Two original wells remain on the property, adding another fascinating chapter to its rich history. Additional features include solar power, ducted gas heating, a single garage and an attached studio ideal for a home office, creative retreat or guest accommodation.
