83 Turnbull Street, Alberton, VIC 3971

Alberton in the mid-to-late 1800s was the largest town in Gippsland due to gold, pastoral, and migration. Alberton Primary School remains the first registered primary school in Victoria.

Remnants of the heyday era remain with the Victoria Hotel (1890), the General Store (1862), and a handful of colonial cottages and Victorian homes. This one at 83 Turnbull Street is original to the period and offers all the features.

High wooden ceilings (12 feet) with wood panelling walls feature throughout the home, and the hallway is reminiscent of its history with glass panelling. Return the mid-hallway ruby glass doorway along with colour-coordinating the high skirting and period architraves to recreate the splendour of the style.

There are two fireplaces, one with an original surround and mantle, and other touches that depict the home's originality.

Outside, the period character continues with an iron roof, square weatherboards, sash windows, and bull-nose verandah.

While the home will benefit from upgrading, particularly the kitchen, the size of the home is deceiving. The stereotypical skillion area at the rear houses the large bathroom, laundry and fourth bedroom or study.

The floorboards throughout the home are original and in excellent condition for age. These floors cannot be recreated, and the dark polished finish adds warmth to the home.

This charming old home is awaiting its next chapter and, with careful improvements and additions, will be highly prized amongst the remaining historical homes of the town.

This property is much more than just a home on large land. As the property sits within the Alberton township zone, it is appropriately zoned for future subdivision. The rectangular shape of the land will permit 2-3 residential building blocks.

High colorbond fencing surrounds the property, providing privacy and security, and there are three sheds for vehicles.

Those seeking an affordable home with future development opportunities must see this home and secure their property's future. Vendors seeking sale and open to flexibility on settlement terms.

The location is unbeatable, being conveniently close to schools and public transport, making it ideal for families or commuters. Shopping, medical, and sports facilities are a short 5-minute drive away in Yarram.
