41 Martinsville Road, Cooranbong NSW 2265

Seldom does an opportunity to secure an incredibly significant slice of Australian history present itself such as this! Commissioned by the NSW Colonial Architect's Office in 1881 and built by WM Humphries, this property was intended to replace the much more modest previous building, to cater for Cooranbong's rapidly growing population at the time. Affectionately known by the locals as "Our Post Office", the former Cooranbong Post Office stands as a testament to the glory of a bygone era.

The iconic sandstone design and subsequent extensive refurbishment has resulted in what is now a truly fabulous home on an outstanding 2,668m2 block, making this a rare and unique opportunity nestled in the foothills of the Watagan Mountains.

The 142 year old home now comprises three huge bedrooms that are beautifully appointed and are complete with fireplaces in each, two brand new ever-so-elegant bathrooms with underfloor heating, plus an enormous living area at the front of the home flanked by verandahs on either side and a second lounge/family room towards the rear. A stunning brand new gourmet kitchen makes cooking a delight with a dining area adjacent bordered by stacker doors to create an indoor/outdoor experience plus a huge walk in pantry.

Modern features such as ducted air-conditioning are subtly interwoven with classic old world ornate touches such as the incredibly high ceilings with decorative cornices, making this home truly something to behold.

Outside provides a beautiful courtyard with formal or informal outdoor entertaining options plus there is the historic telegraph structure.
An oversized double garage with attached carport and a deep backyard allows plenty of room for the kids, gardens or perhaps a vegie patch.

This opportunity is going to attract a wide variety of buyers for a multitude of differing purposes. As a stunning home of note, an amazing Air BNB, possibly an art gallery or museum, or maybe a prestigious bed and breakfast.

Only an hour north of Hornsby and close to local shops and schools, this impossibly rare opportunity is both historically significant and breathtakingly beautiful.
