2a Murray Street, Greenock, SA 5360

Welcome to 2A Murray Street, Greenock - a truly unique offering combining a beautifully preserved piece of local history with an established post office, comfortable residence and exciting future possibilities.

Steeped in history, this remarkable property dates back to 1856, when postal services commenced in the area in conjunction with a general store located on the site of the current Greenock Hotel. In 1879, the Post and Telegraph Office were erected, combining both services - and remarkably, the post office continues to operate from the site today.

Set on a generous 1,046m² allotment, the property offers a wonderful blend of commercial and residential space, making it an appealing opportunity for an owner-operator, those looking to work from home, or someone seeking a property with genuine character and versatility.

The front of the property welcomes you into the operating post office, complete with front counter and customer entry, while adjoining this is access through to the residence, creating a seamless connection between business and home.

There is also a second side entrance behind the charming picket fence or rear access through the glass sliding doors to the tranquil open living, kitchen dine.
The residence comprises three bedrooms and one bathroom, with the character of the era beautifully evident throughout the front half with high ceilings, ornate ceiling details, original-style doors, fireplaces and timeless architectural features create a warmth and charm that is increasingly difficult to find. The extension of the rear part of the house was done possibly in the late 80's or early 90's, giving updated facilities to the pre-existing charm of the character at the front.

Beyond the home, the generous backyard provides a private space to relax and enjoy the established surrounds, while additional features include a carport, shedding and the iconic 90's Telstra phone box positioned on the street – truly a charming country town.
