'Fairmont' - Nostalgic Feeling of Yesteryear

House Sold - Eden NSW

In 1937, Bing Crosby was crooning on our radios while Fred and Ginger danced across our screens. Australia’s Don Bradman was performing miracles on the pitch and in the seaside town of Eden, the ‘Fairmont Guest House’ was opened, welcoming her first guests on the 11th of December 1937. Since then, the Fairmont has become a charming home with a special history and a nostalgic feeling of yesteryear that can be felt the moment you set foot inside.

There’s a beautiful view of Asling’s Beach to be admired from the generous screened porch and it’s a view that belongs to Fairmont forever as it can never be built out. Beyond the gorgeous yellow front door, the feeling of happiness and ‘good times’ awaits. This spacious four bedroom, two bathroom weatherboard home has borne witness to countless wonderful memories. If these walls could talk, they’d ask you to sit down and relax, they’d invite you to put the kettle on and take a seat… this is the kind of home that would offer you a home cooked biscuit fresh from the oven!

Although over 80 years old, Fairmont has aged gracefully with the careful care and maintenance of thoughtful owners over the years. Original features have been retained while modern conveniences have been integrated making this a modern home with vintage charm. Fairmont is a perfect family home but would also make a wonderful bed’n’breakfast, or air bnb.

Set on a large block, Fairmont has a big front and back yard with a thriving garden… hibiscus, frangipani and bird of paradise flourish along with roses, lavender and hydrangeas. There’s a gum tree and a lemon tree as well as plenty of grassy lawn. A large shed and workshop is found out the back. It’s clear that many a repair has been done in this shed, perhaps a few billy-carts built and some furniture restored.

Located right in the centre of the historic town of Eden, Fairmont is a short stroll from the main street, Asling’s Beach and the local schools. The iconic Eden wharf is just over the hill and you’ll pass the beloved Killer Whale Museum on the way! The village of Pambula is just fifteen minutes north and the township of Merimbula is just ten minutes beyond that.

With a white picket fence out the front and a huge lot of heart inside, Eden’s Fairmont is a unique and beautiful historic property, now ready for her next owners and we’re certain she’s hoping they’ll take her through to her century. Gather those pennies from heaven and make your offer today!
