183 Murwillumbah Street, Murwillumbah, NSW 2484 - More Details
Buyer Guide: $1.35M
183 Murwillumbah Street holds a combination genuinely hard to find in the Tweed Valley: a quiet, elevated cul-de-sac position with rural views over cane fields toward the Caldera Ranges, and a five-minute walk into central Murwillumbah's shops, schools, parks and markets. It suits a young family with room to grow, or a household stepping back from a larger rural holding without giving up the space, the view, or the distance from the street.
Period character, genuinely intact
The home is a well-kept example of 1950s Waterfall-style architecture, distinguished by its curved walls — a soft departure from the square-edged norm of the era. Varied decorative cornices trace the ceiling line through the principal rooms, retro cabinetry has been retained rather than replaced, and the original hardwood floors run underfoot throughout, polished back to their natural grain. It's a level of intact period detail that's increasingly rare to find.
Renovated without losing what makes it distinctive
Without compromising the home's characterful charm, the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. The façade's original stucco has been retained, while the rear has been reclad in Hardiplank, replacing the home's original asbestos cladding, which was removed by a licensed demolition contractor.
Built for outdoor living, oriented for it too
A covered deck finished in Modwood — chosen so it will never need revarnishing — is built to entertain at scale, comfortably holding a gathering of 60, looking north over the cane fields toward Calder Mountain. The same north aspect fills the interior with natural light and works as a passive climate system, keeping the home warmer through winter and easier to cool in summer.
A garden that's already productive
The established garden has been developed as a low-input, productive ecosystem — citrus (Tahitian and Kaffir limes, Emperor and Honey Murcott mandarins, blood and Valencia oranges), tropical and exotic fruiting trees (jaboticaba, soursop, chocolate sapote, Brazilian cherry, tamarillo, guava), native shrubs for birdlife, pollinator plantings, herbs, vegetables and seasonal bulbs in rotation.
A rare hold
Elevated, flood-free land boasting commanding rural scenery within walking distance of central Murwillumbah is scarce on its own. A renovated, character-intact Waterfall-style home on that land, with a separate studio and an established orchard, is rarer still — and holdings with this level of potential don't come back to market often.
