Welcome to 53 Douglas Street, a heritage-listed masterpiece originally master-built in the 1920s and designed by the government architect Mr. J.H. Robertson. This architectural gem is a testament to the town's rich architectural history and has been listed as a heritage site since March 2006.
The house, completed in 1920, situated on a large 2023m2 block, showcases a substantial red brick Federation/American bungalow design with a large corrugated iron roof extending over the verandas. The 2005 conversion into a four-bedroom luxury bed-and-breakfast marked the beginning of an era of careful restoration and high attention to detail. The interior boasts 12-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace in the lounge room, and a meticulously preserved period of old world charm. Being used as a private residence since 2016, the renovations spared no expense, with top-of-the-line materials and numerous antique items sourced to maintain the house's historical charm.
The property spans approximately 275 square meters and features a covered veranda on multiple sides, a covered barbecue area, and a re-decked cupboard area. A tennis court from the late 1920s was transformed into a serene sunken garden with a magnificent liquid Amber tree, providing shade and a haven for wildlife. The garden includes a water feature, paved pathways, concrete garden bed edging, and a lawn area. A substantial timber-framed hebel garage (approximately 164 square meters) with an internal loft storage area, toilet facilities, double bowl sink, and ample power points adds practicality and convenience.
For comfort, individual reverse cycle air conditioning is installed in every bedroom, complemented by ducted underfloor gas heating throughout the entire house. The original Leadlight windows have been preserved, with additional commissioned pieces. The property has been thoughtfully restored to surpass its original glory, featuring modern amenities such as rewiring and the installation of eight Daikin air conditioners and a ducted Bonaire cooling system.
Each of the bedrooms is generously sized and equipped with fully tiled, individual ensuites designed to match the house's period aesthetic. The master bedroom and an adjoining bedroom even boast a spa bath. The hallway includes a separate toilet and vanity basin recess, with a skylight above polished wooden floors.
The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a gas oven, hotplates, electric plate/food warmer, double stainless steel sink, and fluorescent lighting, complemented by a Daikin air conditioner. There's also a nearby study/office area with its Daikin air conditioner. The laundry features a double stainless steel sink, a Simpson front-loading washing machine, built-in cupboards, and tiled floors. Additionally, there's wheelchair access around the dwelling.
The property overlooks Narrandera Park, with Narrandera Hospital across the road on the western side and Narrandera Primary School on the opposite corner.
