One of Mortlake’s holiest residences is being offered for sale.
This substantial brick residence predominantly comprises of 8 rooms and was originally built in the early 1950’s to serve as a convent, then medical rooms up until the early 2000s when it was converted into a café bakery and meeting place and more recently a home.

The current owner purchased the house with a commercial style kitchen installed. Improvements such as a new roof, a large and robust wood heater, evaporative cooling throughout and solar panels bring the residence up to modern standards.

Subtle church charm is still present including the etched glass cross inserts in the dining room doors and the two symbolic crosses perched high on the roof which were reinstated by the current owner.

The original rooms are large and the lovely north facing sunroom overlooks the huge rear yard with some outbuildings utilised as potting sheds and storage areas. There is a water tank (and town water) and side access to store a caravan and cars at the rear.

If retiring and spending more time on your golf is a priority, this home is within a stroll to the golf club or perhaps take time to explore the arts and community groups.

If you dream of bringing up a young family in the country air with pets and a vegie patch, this unique property is just waiting for new owners to embrace the history and charm.

Sitting on a 1018 sqm block with a pretty garden and highway frontage from the service road and zoned Commercial 1, the property could also once again be a food destination, Airbnb project/boutique hotel or a lovely, substantial home.
