Possibly the largest timber residence in Kyogle, this large house was built in 1912 by Dr Evans and was designed to accommodate not only his family but also his gardener, groom and maid who travelled from England with him. It was then purchased by Dr Arthur Lewis, who in turn sold it to his son-in-law Dr Bagnell (Bags) Harvey. The house was then purchased by Dr Perry in 1976 who sold in 2014. The house has been maintained and renovated over the years, with much of the original character staying the same, including beautiful parquetry flooring in the entryway and solid timber floors throughout. A stunning new kitchen was installed by the newest owners, with fresh paint throughout many of the rooms and new carpeting in the bedrooms. Some aspects including the exterior and bathrooms remain unrenovated, offering the new owners to add their own stamp to this piece of Kyogle history.
The house is set over two blocks of land just a few minutes walk to the town centre, schools, hospital and railway station. From the long and wide verandah which is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, you can see Mt Barney in QLD and over to the Border Ranges. The house has been home to four doctors and includes a surgery, office and waiting rooms which are suitable for business use or could be easily converted to guest accommodation or a granny flat. With two separate electricity meters, the house is ready for business in the home. There are 6 bedrooms plus study, and two bathrooms, allowing plenty of space for the extended fmaily. A key feature of the house are formal lounge and dining rooms with back-to-back open fireplaces.
Downstairs there's bathroom, and a large open area comprising laundry and open space. There's plenty of off-street parking with large carport and double garage. Wheelchair access into a wide hallway leads to the office, or kitchen or lounge room. There is a large sloping back garden with a huge frangipani, camellias, even some rainforest trees.
This home offers so much potential, character, and space - it truly is a unique offering!
