There are old Federation bank buildings of brown brick with beautiful and unique features, stunning halls, institutes and hotels, and the elaborate two-story train station. This neighbourhood gives you a true sense of Harden at the turn of the 20th Century.

Harden will tempt you out of the city with this Federation duplex.
The property is currently a duplex over two titles but could easily be converted into a single dwelling. This solid building was constructed in around 1890 and has double brick exterior walls and brick interior walls.
During recent renovations, the current owners retained it as two dwellings, using the second dwelling for visiting family and friends. It would be ideal for your extended family or could be let on a short or long-term basis, giving you solid income for the future.

Extensive built-in wardrobes and cupboards were added, plus various new floor coverings and window treatments.
