Rich in history, character and opportunity, 24 Robinson Street presents a rare chance to secure one of Broome's most recognisable heritage properties. Formerly home to the renowned Durack Gallery, this unique home is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Broome, offering a blend of historical significance, tropical climate lifestyle, beach proximity and exceptional future potential.
The beautiful main residence is an ambient, soulful, character-filled reminder of the timeless appeal of traditional Broome architecture, with wide verandas, cooling breezeways and inviting indoor-outdoor living spaces, designed to embrace the Kimberley climate. The property features stunning original floor boards, while the roof has been replaced and a brand-new chefs oven and dishwasher have been recently installed.
Step out of the front gate of your home - into the lively excitement of the heart of Broome - with the weekend markets, Town beach foreshore (always alive with events and activities) local cafes and galleries, China-town, event centre outings and live music performances all available within comfortable strolling distance.
In addition to the primary residence is a separate self-contained caretakers residence, a studio and a collection of ancillary buildings, creating a versatile estate with flexibility for extended family living, guest accommodation, creative studios, home business activities, storage or income-generating opportunities.
The self-contained caretakers is very spacious allowing the luxury of designated bed, kitchen and living/dining spaces. The ensuite is also very spacious and the front and rear decks offer privacy, whilst the adjoining alfresco offers entertaining and socialising elements to the dwelling. This and the large studio (which includes a lovely undercover kitchenette and access to outdoor bathroom, laundry and water closet) are both on stumps for easy movement.
Tracing stone paths and walkways to quiet nooks amongst the established tropical gardens creates a nostalgic feeling of being tucked away in your own private world, as towering 100 year old mango trees cast cooling shade over this oasis. Chickens scratch and forage in the earth of their secure chicken run at the rear, offering further sense of boundary between the neighbouring properties.
Positioned on 1217sm of valuable R30-zoned land, the property offers exciting scope for future development and enhanced utilisation of the site, subject to the relevant approvals. With heritage classification as one of "encouragement to retain", this allows future owners flexibility and advantage in planning for the site's next chapter.
The property's celebrated history as the Durack Gallery remains an important part of its identity. For many years it served as a place where art, culture and community came together, contributing to Broome's unique creative landscape. In a time when; the now iconic, Kimberly art scene was taking its first steps. Today, it stands ready for its next chapter - be that a family home, a visionary to rebirth its next legacy or an investor looking to unlock its considerable potential.
