Central Heritage History

Here is the perfect chance to purchase a piece of Portland's Architectural history set right in the heart of Portland's Central Business District. "Sandilands" stands as an accomplished design and is an important example of the early architecture of the town. Proudly sitting high on the approximate 944m2 block, this stately townhouse was erected in the early 1850's for Portland doctor William S. Sutherland and has seen many different and varied uses over the years. In the early beginnings as a stately home, "Sandilands" has been the home to numerous businesses, restaurants and recently as office space and accommodation for those visiting the beautiful town of Portland.
Options are endless for the new owner of this stately premises with the ground floor containing a large open area with bar, office, public amenities, a commercial kitchen and large front room making it a perfect place to set up a restaurant / cafe as has been in the past. Maybe with a little imagination, alfresco dining, this could make a great place for the community to come together.
The original fireplaces still stand in this beautiful old home along with modern conveniences such as 2 split systems and a reverse cycle to help with the climate control. Upstairs the townhouse has been converted into accommodation. Both Apartments 1 & 2 feature a double room with bathrooms that feature a toilet and a shower with the third Apartment containing 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 toilets, kitchen and a separate lounge across the hall. These make the ideal places for visitors to not only stay in style, but enjoy the unique history of one of Portland's most well known buildings.
This unique piece of Portland's past stands as a testament to the architectural charm and character that can only be found in historic buildings such as this. Unique in so many ways, this is indeed a rare find on the Portland Sales Market.
