The history and charm of this iconic Mitchell Street building, has served as the beautiful Mon Coeur retail store for the last 15 years. This unique property was established in 1866 as the George Hotel and, after that, the Greyhound, a hotel with female licensees. Walking distance to the city centre, and zoned both residential and commercial, this is one-of-a-kind, character-filled building. Perfect for a buyer seeking a beautiful home to make their own in tightly-held Quarry Hill, there is also the potential for a business owner or restaurateur to live and work from exceptional premises. The rear of the property is accessible via Brodie Street, with access and a 320m2 parcel of land that has the potential to be developed.

The gorgeous main building has benefitted from the design savvy and the skills of the current owners ensuring all the behind-the-scenes work has been taken care of, with updated plumbing, wiring and facilities. The front of the building, currently serving as the shopfront, could easily be converted to a spacious living room, and multiple bedrooms. At the rear of the building is a stylish apartment offering a versatile lounge/study/dining area; a modern kitchen; a light-filled bedroom; and brand-new bathroom. At the side of the property is a courtyard with established ornamental pear trees, and at the rear is a pretty cottage garden, paved undercover area and sunny courtyard. A large shed and the generous greenspace at the rear is only limited by your imagination.
