Built in 1942 and owned by one family, Melville House is a remarkable residence where architectural elegance, Lismore's history, and family legacy come together.
From the moment you enter there is an unmistakable sense that this is not an ordinary home. Proportions and details of a bygone era, beautiful craftsmanship, and generations of memories within its walls.
With polished timber floors, light-filled rooms, high ceilings, cut glass doors and windows, original light fixtures, its immaculately preserved features immediately establish this home's presence. At its heart, an impressive staircase rises through the residence. All striking reminders of another time.
An established bed and breakfast of over 30 years it has welcomed thousands of guests, many who have returned to enjoy its charm and peaceful atmosphere again.
Beyond its beauty and history, this is a building of genuine substance. Multiple living and entertaining areas provide an outstanding amount of freedom and possibility. With seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, it has the scale and versatility to comfortably embrace a large or extended family. The bathrooms, lifted by marble and classic detailing continue a sense of quality found throughout. There is a feeling of grandeur, yet Melville House remains warm, inviting and unmistakably a home.
The residence is positioned on an exceptionally rare, level, 2,030m² flood-free parcel, providing an impressive sense of space in a remarkably convenient location.
Immaculately maintained gardens frame the home, creating a private green setting full of native plants and bird life. A fitting backdrop to a residence of this stature.
Among the gardens sits the magnificent 17-metre swimming pool, an impressive centrepiece to the outdoor living experience. Surrounded by the established greenery and generous open spaces, it creates a wonderful environment for entertaining, long summer afternoons and family gatherings.
Yet for all its history, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Melville House is its future.
Its versatility and size open the door to an abundance of opportunities. An exceptional family residence, multi-generational living, short-term accommodation or a distinctive hospitality opportunity.
The possibilities are limited only by imagination.
For more than 80 years, Melville House has been loved, preserved and honoured by one family. Now, for the first time in generations, an opportunity presents itself for someone new to become part of its story.
This is more than the opportunity to purchase a home. It is an opportunity to become the next custodian of a piece of local history - and to write the next chapter of Melville House.
A truly rare offering that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
