This beautiful old building set on just under an acre of parkland is now up for sale by public auction.

Known as Carrawarra House, it was originally built in 1883 and has been owned by various individuals and organisations since that time.

"It has glorious period features and is a classic example of the quality architecture of that period," says agent Garry Hall.

In terms of the building's features, it is a double story of brick construction with a slate tile roof.

It has a wrap-around veranda, the front of the home faces north, and there are also large picture windows all around capturing light and sun.

Period features include polished timber floor boards and high 14 feet ceilings, some with patterned press metal. There is also a grand central staircase.

Apart from the very central location, one of the other reasons Carrawarra House has had such a wide variety of uses through its history is because it is so large with six bedrooms, two bathrooms and two kitchens.

It also has a number of spacious living areas with open fire places, while more recently hydronic heating has been installed throughout the home.

Another detail adding to the property's versatility is the large block size of 3740 square metres, the grounds of which have established picturesque trees and gardens.

Zoned B4 (mixed use), it can return to being a residence or another commercial purpose can add to the property's varied history.

"This is a rare opportunity to add your creative flair to a famous Goulburn landmark that is already in very good condition," Mr Hall says.

"Set in a blue ribbon location, any inspection of this grand old property will not disappoint."
