Nestled in the heart of Hamley Bridge, at 9 Railway Terrace, stands a piece of South Australian history: the original train station house, a rare bluestone home that once served as the town’s railway hub. This remarkable property is not just a home; it’s an experience. The residence speaks to a bygone era with its original architecture, historic charm, and the soul of past generations, making it a truly unique opportunity for those who long to own a slice of heritage.

Stepping into this four-bedroom, two-bathroom homestead is like entering another time. High ceilings and wide, welcoming rooms echo the past, while modern updates blend seamlessly with the preserved vintage details. A sense of history flows through every corridor, and the original wood cabinetry in the large, expansive kitchen is a testament to the property's origin as a railway station. These antique cabinets and furnishings embody the life of the station itself, retaining the elegance and utility from when they were first crafted. It’s easy to imagine bustling travellers stopping for a rest, only to be greeted by the warmth of this inviting kitchen.

The legacy of this home extends beyond its architecture. The current owner has preserved its elegance with grace, carrying forward the love and care of “Bobbi” (Roberta), whose memory lives on in every detail. This “touch of Bobbi” has infused the house with a sense of compassion and beauty that radiates throughout each room, lending an almost tangible warmth to the property. The home seems to embrace visitors with the same loving energy she brought to it, adding a remarkable sense of character and comfort to the entire space.

The grounds are equally impressive, featuring meticulously maintained gardens that have a story of their own. Every pot and plant, which are included in the sale, reflects years of nurturing, while the sheds stand as silent witnesses to the evolution of this station house over the decades. Even the garden seems to whisper tales from the past, adding to the property’s charm and allure.

Much of the unique artwork that graces the walls is also part of the sale, another layer of history and aesthetic appeal that captures the eye and the heart.

Adding to the allure of this exceptional property is the original, old-style oven, a cherished feature that remains fully functional and provides a delightful nod to the home's rich history. This unique element is complemented by the addition of a new wall oven and a modern dishwasher, merging vintage charm with contemporary convenience to meet today’s culinary needs.

For wine enthusiasts, the property includes a cellar—a fantastic space that offers the ideal environment for a collection of fine vintages, or even a casual tasting area to enjoy a glass with friends and family. This feature adds another layer of sophistication and utility, making the home perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

This home is truly charming, with its dual potential as a welcoming family residence or a cozy bed and breakfast. The offer to keep most of the books and bookcases is a great bonus, particularly for a book lover or someone setting up a literary-themed B&B. The idea of relaxing with a book in the garden adds an inviting, tranquil touch that could attract visitors looking for a peaceful getaway.

Its versatility and ambiance could make it a unique find for the right buyer!

9 Railway Terrace is not just a property for sale; it’s a living, breathing relic of a community’s past, preserved with love and respect. Owning this extraordinary bluestone home means becoming a part of its story, a custodian of its history, and a beneficiary of its undeniable, uplifting energy.
