Built in the late 1800s by David Montgomery, the landmark property looks over Cooma township from the hill where the town’s very first houses were built, and has been a loved feature of the landscape for over 100 years. Local builder Mr Montgomery also constructed many of the church steeples in the vicinity.
Two streets from the centre of town, on a large 3759m2 block, the house has some valuable and attractive extras including a three-car garage with three-phase power; manicured gardens and lawns, and a sand tennis court.
Separate casual and formal entertaining areas are a feature of this Cooma home.

Listing agent Graeme Boller says that “living in Cooma is great for many reasons. It’s close to Canberra, to ski fields, and just four hours from Sydney, but also it’s a very friendly community.
“Many of the Europeans working on the Snowy Hydro project in the 50s, 60s and 70s brought their families here and their kids and their families are still here, it’s a long-time multi-cultural town.”
The house on the hill faces North but also has views towards the Snowy Mountains.
A residence like this does not come on to the market very often, as these homes are highly esteemed and tightly held. As a bonus, 1 Cromwell Street is also fully furnished.
Features also include a breakfast room, impressive circular driveway, off-street parking and enclosed back yard. There is a sand tennis court and loads of outdoor entertaining area, with sprinklers and a pergola. If you love your wine, there is also an underground cellar.
1 Cromwell Street, Cooma is a rare find, a home in the heart of town but with all the privacy you could ask for.
The property is on sale for $700,000. Contact Graeme Boller on 0402 470 422 or click here for more information.
