Here is a rare opportunity to step away from mundane modern homes & step into the extraordinary with period beauty & grandeur. Located on a large 1012 m2 corner block with landscaped gardens, the former St Andrews Presbyterian chapel (built in 1873) has been lovingly renovated using the highest-quality furnishings & finishes, all with Heritage approval. The result is a stunningly beautiful, majestic home with soaring timber-lined ‘cathedral’ ceilings, set right in the heart of the charming Riverina township of Adelong.
