THE OLD CONVENT, PRAISE THE LORD - EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST - CLOSE DATE 15/02/2013 5:30PM
NOT OFTEN DO YOU GET A CHANCE TO BUY INTO A HISTORY LIKE THE OLD CONVENT. A LOVELY OLD GENUINE VICTORIAN, IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AS THE HOUSEHOLD FOR THE LOCAL DOCTOR, BUT THEN WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY AROSE SOME 70 YEARS AGO, IT WAS INTEGRATED WITH ST MARY'S PRIMARY SCHOOL. IT THEN STARTED A NEW CHAPTER IN ITS LIFE AS A PURPOSE BUILT 4.5 STAR B&B/RESTAURANT AFTER SIGNIFICANT RENOVATIONS IN EARLY 2000'S. FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS IT HAS AGAIN RETAINED THE STATUS OF BEING A FAMILY HOME. WHAT A HISTORY, WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY. MOVE STRAIGHT IN AS YOUR FAMILY HOME, UTILISE IT AS A WEEKEND GETAWAY BEING LOCATED CONVENIENT TO MELBOURNE IN ONE OF THE PRETTIEST DISTRICTS IN VICTORIA, OR RE-ESTABLISH IT AS A HIGH QUALITY B&B, THE CHOICE IS YOURS. THE OLD CONVENT IS SITUATED IN THE HEART OF TOWN ON A LARGE BLOCK WITH LOVELY COUNTRY STYLED GARDENS. AS YOU WALK INTO ITS MAIN HALLWAY, THE CLASSIC HIGH CEILINGS AND PERIOD FITTINGS GIVE THIS HOUSE A UNIQUE AMBIENCE AND A SENSE OF PROPORTIONS. THE FRONT THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS ARE ALL GENEROUSLY SIZED, AND HAVE PRIVATE FACILITIES - TWO WITH ENSUITE AND THE THIRD, A SEPARATE BATHROOM WITH A SINGLE SPA BATH. EACH ROOM RETAINING THEIR ORIGINAL OPEN FIRE PLACES, EACH ROOM ALSO HAS A REVERSE CYCLE A/C UNIT FOR DAY TO DAY USE. THE FORTH BEDROOM AT THE REAR OF THE HOUSE ALSO HAS ITS OWN SEPARATE BATHROOM, AND IS POSITIONED NEXT TO A LARGE LAUNDRY. COMMERCIALLY RATED WHEN OPERATING AS A B&B, THE LARGE KITCHEN COULD BE RE-INSTATED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES, OR YOU MAY CHOOSE TO CONVERT IT TO A LOVELY COUNTRY STYLED KITCHEN. A SPACIOUS FORMAL LOUNGE ROOM, TOGETHER WITH A QUAINT SITTING/FAMILY, OVERLOOKING AN EL-FRESCO DINING AREA AND ROSE GARDEN COMPLETE THIS GEM.

A PEACEFUL AND TRANQUIL AREA, ALEXANDRA IS ALSO THE GATEWAY TO LAKE EILDON AND THE EILDON NATIONAL PARK, AND ALL THIS HAS TO OFFER.
