The home:
There are homes you admire and then there are homes you feel.
At 89 Bay Rd, Mount Gambier, you will do both.
Set on an elevated block at the end of the city's most blue-ribbon street, is this breathtaking statement of Mount Gambier prestige, blending exquisite period craftsmanship with a meticulous modern renovation, just a stone's throw from the Blue Lake, Valley Lake and within easy walking distance of the CBD's cafés, schools and conveniences.
From the outset, the home announces its significance.
Behind a tall white stone fence and picket gate, a private garden reveals a double stone dolomite façade of storybook beauty.
Look closer and the heritage details continue: the original doorbell remains, as does the original front lamp, while the original front door is framed by pretty leadlight and protected by a thoughtfully added double-glazed glass door that allows sunlight to spill warmly down the home's long central hallway.
Step inside and you're immersed in scale and grace, including a wide entry with soaring 14-foot ceilings, high skirting boards, large cornices and ceiling roses, all setting a tone of timeless elegance.
Rooms unfold with a richness that is increasingly rare. This is a home that offers bay windows, chandeliers, intricate period detailing and the kind of craftsmanship that makes every space feel considered and quietly luxurious.
To the front, a beautiful bay-windowed room offers flexibility as either a refined sitting room or an additional bedroom, complete with a marble fireplace and a calm, serene atmosphere.
The home continues with an impressive master retreat featuring its own fireplace, a huge dressing room and a stylish, functional ensuite, creating a perfect blend of heritage romance and modern ease.
A formal sitting room provides yet another standout moment. An additional marble fireplace anchors the space, while original fretwork frames the bay window area, creating an inviting reading nook with garden outlooks and access to the return verandah.
Throughout, the home's original Baltic pine flooring adds warmth and authenticity, with more believed to remain beneath carpet in select rooms for those who wish to further reveal and celebrate its history.
At the heart of the home, the renovation truly shines.
A vast, faultless kitchen and dining zone pairs contemporary sophistication with enduring character, centred around a generously scaled island bench and quality finishes designed for family life and entertaining.
Gas floor heating runs throughout the home, and the near-ceiling-height, extra-wide double glass doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
This fills the living areas with light and opens to a 5m x 5m cedar balcony built for celebrations, long lunches and evening drinks with friends.
And woven into the home's beauty is a remarkable local story.
Life quite literally began here as in 1907, the property was first utilised as a maternity hospital, offering the new owners of this abode a rare and poignant link to Mount Gambier's history.
Today, that legacy lives on in a different way: as a spectacular family residence, restored and reimagined for a new generation to make their own memories.
Accommodation remains wonderfully versatile, with up to five bedrooms or a combination of bedrooms and work-from-home spaces, and multiple living zones that allow everyone to spread out in comfort.
The traditional English snug is a particular delight with its warm and inviting ambience and access to a large cellar beneath, ideal for wine storage and effortless entertaining.
The main bathroom is another showpiece, delivering true old-world glamour with tessellated floor tiles, a classic clawfoot bath and a separate shower, blending heritage character with everyday practicality in a way that feels both indulgent and timeless.
Outside, the gardens are designed for lifestyle without the workload.
There's a gorgeous lawn outlook, a sunken fire pit, a raised deck for quiet moments away from the hustle and bustle, plus raised garden beds, a tool shed, solar system, a double garage and an electric gateway securing the property and providing ample off-street parking.
This is the rare kind of home that elevates daily life.
Enjoy morning walks around the lakes, an easy stroll into town for coffee, and evenings spent entertaining in complete privacy.
A truly blue-ribbon address, beautifully restored, and ready for a family who wants the very best life has to offer in Mount Gambier.
