The site boasts the potential for subdivision or development with the unique address of 1 Park Lane, while a current liquor licence offers potential for buyers to explore commercial or retail uses.
Real estate agent Mitch Kenny said the history and adaptability of the site are part of its charm.
"It is currently being used as a residential premises, but there is scope for its use to be converted for commercial purposes," Mr Kenny said.
