Hidden Gem with Historic Charm & Unmatched Potential

Tucked away in the very heart of Wellington lies 29 Warne Street, a surprisingly spacious, red brick home full of character, scale, and rich local history.

Steeped in heritage as the former Lings Residence and Fong Lees Warehouse, the property features loading dock frontage directly onto Fong Lees Lane. This generous, approx. 1,157sqm parcel offers an incredible blend of commercial and residential potential, combining partially restored period elegance with exciting future opportunity.

From the moment you arrive, the home makes a striking impression with its wrap-around veranda enjoying a desirable northerly aspect and a beautiful stained-glass front door that opens into a wide, entry hallway.

Step inside to discover a substantial six-bedroom layout that retains its authentic period charm through original timber floorboards, high pressed metal ceilings, classic fireplaces, and even a unique original strong room. The functional floor plan includes a central kitchen and bathroom, complemented by a separate toilet located near the laundry area.

While the home has been thoughtfully updated in areas, there remains clear, exciting scope to continue renovations across the remaining bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom to truly make it your own.

The property's vast grounds and commercial potential make it a truly rare find. Convenient rear laneway access leads directly into the spacious backyard, where you'll find an additional storage shed alongside a large outbuilding/shed complete with a raised timber floor and delivery dock.

Zoned E2 Commercial Centre and positioned just moments from local schools, vibrant cafes, pubs, parks, and the town pool, this remarkable holding presents endless possibilities for buyers looking to continue the already impressive restoration, develop, or create something exceptional in a prime location.
