IT has been a long time since this classic Kingston home was on the market.

Put it this way, Malcolm Fraser was Prime Minister.

But when an opportunity like this one comes knocking, people better be ready to pounce. It could it be another four decades before No.1 Osborne Esp hits the market again.

Property consultant Eddie Hoogenhout from Petrusma Property described it as a sensational home.

“No.1 Osborne is a unique beachfront property, built in 1900,” he said.

“The location is enviable, right on the corner of Kingston Beach and Browns River.

“This is the first time it has been offered for sale in more than 40 years.

“It is an absolute Federation classic, I would expect it to be very popular with buyers.”

A warm welcome.


Blast from the past.


The historic home is full of original character. It features including high ceilings, fireplaces with mantelpieces, picture rails, deep skirting boards, original floorboards under the carpets and an enclosed veranda all built on solid sandstone foundations.

The formal entry has the original front door with glass highlight surrounds.

The floorplan leads through a long passage with high ceilings running down the centre of the home.

To the right and set at the front corner of the home is a gorgeous sunroom with its original waterglass windows and stained glass highlights, looking straight out at Kingston Beach and Browns River to the side. It is a suntrap.

Retro kitchen.


Sunny space.


To the left is the formal lounge, a grand space with large bay windows, high ceilings and an original ornate timber mantelpiece.

Next stop on the tour is the dining room, a flexible space that could be used in multiple ways. It also has a fireplace and a servery hatch through to the kitchen and family room.

Extra large is a good way to describe the kitchen and family room. It has lots of cupboard space, lots of windows looking out over the gardens and lots of potential.

The home has three bedrooms, two in the main house and one in a separate but connected studio.

The two bedrooms in the house are extra large and have built-in wardrobes, and uniquely, useful vanity units with hot and cold water.

Glimpse of the home’s history.


There are two bathrooms, one in the main house and one in the studio.

The main bathroom is spacious, with a separate toilet positioned adjacent.

The house is wired with numerous off-peak power points, and it is connected to the NBN.

The studio has one bedroom, the second bathroom and a laundry.

The house is located on a large 1072sq m prominent Kingston Beach corner block.

There is a large and well maintained garage with a mezzanine storage area and plenty of room for a workshop space, plus a large storage shed.

Outside, the landscaped gardens have been well kept including the private rear courtyard space, complete with a fountain, lawn, lovely shaded areas and stone paths.

No.1 Osborne is listed with Petrusma Property and priced at $1.65m-plus.
