240 Great Alpine Road, Harrietville, Vic 3741

Set along the iconic Great Alpine Road, this character-filled property presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking for a renovation project with plenty of scope to add value.

Full of original charm, the home retains several features that give it a warm and authentic character, including timber floors, traditional weatherboard cladding, high ceilings and classic period details. While the property is certainly ready for some TLC, it offers a solid starting point for those with the vision to restore, renovate and make it their own.

The property itself is in two distinct halves. On the left is what many long-time locals and visitors to our region will remember as Charlie's Butcher Shop. The shop space is still there, and at the rear of the shop is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom self-contained residence.

Sitting separate to the "shop side" is the main residence with its two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, dining and lounge. This space gets plenty of natural light and retains plenty of charm from years gone by.

The existing floorplan provides comfortable living and dining spaces, with a practical kitchen and bathroom already in place. The home has a genuine lived-in feel, but would benefit from updating and modernising throughout, providing the perfect opportunity to create a home that reflects your own style and needs.

Outside, the established garden surrounds and mature trees add to the property's appeal, while the traditional frontage gives the home plenty of street presence.

The property as it sits would be ideal for anyone wanting to rent half of it out whilst using the other half for themselves, be that on a full-time or holiday basis.

For the entrepreneurs out there, perhaps you have a small business idea that, subject to council approval, you could get up and running in the old shop space again – wouldn't that be a nice touch.

Whether you're searching for a project to renovate, a character home to restore, or an opportunity to create a property with your own personal stamp, 240 Great Alpine Road offers plenty of possibilities.

With its combination of character, location and opportunity, this is a property where the end result could be truly rewarding.
