129 Commercial Road, Yarram, VIC 3971

We​ ​are​ ​searching​ ​for​ ​an​ ​entrepreneurial​ ​type​ ​to​ ​revive​ ​this​ ​business.​ ​The​ ​three-bedroom​ ​attached​ ​home​ ​provides​ ​the​ ​backdrop​ ​for​ ​your​ ​imagination.​ ​

Set​ ​along​ ​the​ ​wide,​ ​welcoming​ ​stretch​ ​of​ ​Commercial​ ​Road,​ ​129​ ​stands​ ​as​ ​a​ ​quiet​ ​reminder​ ​of​ ​Yarram's​ ​early​ ​20th-century​ ​Victorian​ ​era.​ ​

The​ ​building​ ​has​ ​so​ ​much​ ​character,​ ​being​ ​built​ ​circa​ ​1904,​ ​and​ ​with​ ​some​ ​cosmetic​ ​renovation​ ​would​ ​be​ ​a​ ​testament​ ​to​ ​when​ ​buildings​ ​were​ ​built​ ​to​ ​last.​ ​

The​ ​home​ ​and​ ​shop​ ​were​ ​built​ ​during​ ​a​ ​period​ ​when​ ​the​ ​town​ ​was​ ​finding​ ​its​ ​rhythm,​ ​serving​ ​surrounding​ ​farms,​ ​timber​ ​workers,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​growing​ ​local​ ​community.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​still​ ​feel​ ​that​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​purpose​ ​in​ ​the​ ​bones​ ​of​ ​the​ ​place:​ ​solid,​ ​enduring,​ ​and​ ​thoughtfully​ ​positioned​ ​on​ ​its​ ​generous​ ​1005m²​ ​allotment​ ​of​ ​beautifully​ ​maintained​ ​gardens​ ​and​ ​mature​ ​trees.

The​ ​original​ ​building​ ​is​ ​proclaimed​ ​as​ ​being​ ​the​ ​first​ ​building​ ​to​ ​use​ ​bricks​ ​in​ ​the​ ​town.​ ​It​ ​was​ ​originally​ ​a​ ​bootmaker's​ ​business;​ ​then​ ​history​ ​has​ ​it​ ​that​ ​it​ ​has​ ​also​ ​been​ ​a​ ​printing​ ​business​ ​for​ ​the​ ​local​ ​newspaper,​ ​along​ ​with​ ​a​ ​news​ ​agency.​ ​In​ ​more​ ​recent​ ​times,​ ​it​ ​has​ ​opened​ ​its​ ​doors​ ​to​ ​an​ ​antique​ ​venture.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​its​ ​future?

From​ ​the​ ​street,​ ​there's​ ​an​ ​immediate​ ​warmth;​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​home​ ​that​ ​has​ ​lived​ ​many​ ​lives.​ ​Originally​ ​a​ ​residence,​ ​it​ ​later​ ​evolved​ ​to​ ​include​ ​a​ ​charming​ ​adjoining​ ​space​ ​that​ ​once​ ​operated​ ​as​ ​an​ ​antique​ ​store.​ ​It's​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​imagine​ ​the​ ​front​ ​rooms​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​curiosities​ ​and​ ​conversation,​ ​locals​ ​dropping​ ​by​ ​to​ ​browse​ ​or​ ​share​ ​stories.​ ​That​ ​separate​ ​yet​ ​connected​ ​area​ ​now​ ​offers​ ​flexibility,​ ​whether​ ​as​ ​a​ ​studio,​ ​a​ ​workspace,​ ​or​ ​a​ ​nod​ ​to​ ​its​ ​past​ ​life,​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​be​ ​reimagined​ ​again.

Inside,​ ​the​ ​home​ ​unfolds​ ​with​ ​a​ ​comforting​ ​simplicity.​ ​Three​ ​bedrooms​ ​provide​ ​space​ ​for​ ​family​ ​or​ ​guests,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​central​ ​living​ ​areas​ ​reflect​ ​the​ ​easy,​ ​practical​ ​layout​ ​of​ ​its​ ​era.​ ​The​ ​single​ ​bathroom​ ​serves​ ​the​ ​home​ ​efficiently,​ ​and​ ​throughout,​ ​there's​ ​a​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​authenticity​ ​that​ ​invites​ ​you​ ​to​ ​lean​ ​into​ ​its​ ​history​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​replace​ ​it.​ ​Why​ ​would​ ​you,​ ​when​ ​the​ ​floorboards​ ​throughout​ ​are​ ​Baltic​ ​pine,​ ​​ ​high​ ​Victorian​ ​ceilings​ ​and​ ​there​ ​are​ ​five​ ​fireplaces!​ ​

Comfortable​ ​living​ ​now​ ​and​ ​future​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​restore​ ​to​ ​former​ ​glory.

Out​ ​back,​ ​the​ ​property​ ​opens​ ​up.​ ​The​ ​large​ ​shed​ ​hints​ ​at​ ​years​ ​of​ ​storage,​ ​tinkering,​ ​and​ ​perhaps​ ​even​ ​small-scale​ ​trade,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​expansive​ ​yard​ ​offers​ ​room​ ​to​ ​grow,​ ​garden,​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​enjoy​ ​the​ ​space​ ​that's​ ​increasingly​ ​rare​ ​in​ ​town​ ​settings.​ ​

In​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​the​ ​original​ ​large,​ ​spacious​ ​shed​ ​on​ ​the​ ​north​ ​side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​backyard,​ ​there​ ​was​ ​a​ ​further​ ​shed​ ​added​ ​in​ ​2019.​ ​This​ ​shed,​ ​which​ ​replaced​ ​the​ ​original​ ​horse​ ​stables,​ ​measures​ ​9M​ ​in​ ​length​ ​X​ ​4.5M​ ​wide​ ​and​ ​abuts​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​laneway,​ ​providing​ ​excellent​ ​access.​ ​However,​ ​the​ ​beauty​ ​of​ ​this​ ​building​ ​is​ ​the​ ​mezzanine​ ​floor​ ​on​ ​three​ ​sides,​ ​which​ ​effectively​ ​doubles​ ​its​ ​capability.​ ​This​ ​shed​ ​could​ ​be​ ​further​ ​enhanced​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​self-contained​ ​living​ ​area​ ​with​ ​the​ ​addition​ ​of​ ​a​ ​kitchenette​ ​and​ ​bathroom.

There's​ ​a​ ​quiet​ ​freedom​ ​here,​ ​where​ ​the​ ​land​ ​feels​ ​just​ ​as​ ​important​ ​as​ ​the​ ​house​ ​itself.

Homes​ ​like​ ​this​ ​aren't​ ​just​ ​structures;​ ​they're​ ​chapters.​ ​From​ ​its​ ​early​ ​days​ ​over​ ​a​ ​century​ ​ago​ ​to​ ​its​ ​time​ ​as​ ​a​ ​local​ ​antique​ ​shop​ ​to​ ​what​ ​it​ ​might​ ​become​ ​next.​ ​

129​ ​Commercial​ ​Road​ ​carries​ ​its​ ​history​ ​lightly​ ​but​ ​meaningfully.​ ​For​ ​those​ ​drawn​ ​to​ ​character,​ ​possibility,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​tangible​ ​connection​ ​to​ ​Yarram's​ ​past,​ ​it​ ​offers​ ​something​ ​genuinely​ ​special.
