A Rare Find in Historic Maldon: Mixed-Use Commercial & Residential Gem

Step into a unique opportunity with this commercially zoned building, offering an impressive 1497 sqm (approx.) of space across three street frontages in the heart of historic Maldon. With a rich history and a versatile floor plan, this property presents an exciting mix of retail/gallery space and a four-bedroom residence, complemented by a large north-facing private garden.

Built-in 1866 by Mr. Thomas Calder, this heritage-listed property was once the Calder's Ironmonger and Timber Merchant building, serving the community until the 1930s. Today, it hosts EDGEgalleries, Brad Hooper Architecture, and Simon Dow Photographer, making it a vibrant hub of creative activity. The double-fronted corner gallery space features a striking blue entrance, soaring ceilings, a period open fireplace, and a split system for heating and cooling.

Enter through the gallery space and be surprised by the expansive residential quarters behind. The layout offers a flexible and open flow, beginning with an office space and a combined living area that seamlessly integrates with the outdoors. The striking timber-clad vaulted ceiling, open fireplace, and light wells give this space a dramatic, yet welcoming atmosphere. Beneath, discover the 9.1m x 7.4m stone cellar, perfect for storage or display, with air vents and built-in display cabinets. Upstairs, the contemporary kitchen, featuring minimalist black design, stone benchtops, Smeg appliances, and an island bench, offers a sharp contrast to the industrial elements throughout. The kitchen opens into a spacious living area with period features like a timber-surround open fireplace and large period windows, providing natural light and garden views.

The four generously sized bedrooms are individually unique. One bedroom boasts a walk-in robe and industrial-style windows, while another overlooks the second living space. A third bedroom features a period open fireplace, and the fourth bedroom opens to the garden, with two additional rooms providing flexible living options. The bathroom continues the minimalist theme with a black palette, brass tapware, a clawfoot bath, and a walk-in shower. A second toilet and vanity are perfect for guests, and the updated laundry has sleek black cabinetry.

Outside, the expansive private garden offers a serene retreat with established trees, meandering paths, sitting areas, and an alfresco entertaining space. The large 6m x 3m shed/garage provides ample storage or workspace, while the fully fenced backyard offers potential for future subdivision (STCA).

This remarkable property offers the perfect blend of history, character, and potential, making it ideal as both a commercial workspace and a private home. Whether you're looking to run your business from a unique location or create a distinctive living space, the opportunities here are endless.
