74 Murray Street East Colac VIC

Back in the 1890's, a local Bricklayer deconstructed an old church which stood alongside the train line, this was the church that this street is named after. The building materials were transported to the corner of Murray and Church Street and rebuilt as a residence for his family. The original features from the church remain today in this grand old home. The original property served as an infirmary in the 1950's before being purchased by the current owners in 1973. 74 Murray Street East was renovated and extended in the 1970s, tastefully maintaining the original high ceilings, brick exterior and captivating presence. Owned and loved for almost 50 years, this home offers potential of grand proportions and sits proudly on a corner allotment of 1256sqm. The rich history is beautifully reflected in the magnificent architectural styles of each era. There are fireplaces, pressed metal ceilings and character at the front whilst the back embraces a retro colour palette and floorplan to interact in open and light spaces. The 70s was a period of time known to focus on entertaining and enjoying the company of family and friends in the home. As time has ticked by, the owners have retained the style and 'flare' many are attempting to revive. From the moment you enter through the front door, you will be taken back in time. Imagine enjoying tea and biscuits in the formal dining room. Picture sitting around the long table whilst keeping warm by the open fire.
