The history of this solid jarrah home on Marlin Way can be traced back to descendants of Governor James Stirling, who built it in Claremont in 1891.
From there it became part of the St Louis School, serving as classrooms in its primary school on Albert Street.
But when that school became part of John XXIII College in the 1970s, Macedon House faced demolition when the prime Claremont real estate went up for development.
The land eventually became a retirement village and Macedon House was moved to Golden Bay, where it stood for years as a holiday home before the current owners restored it to its past glory.
Now Macedon House is up for grabs.
Agent Karen Cleland from Acton Mandurah said the four-bedroom home was a “hidden jewel”.
It was last sold in 2005 for $332,000 before its restoration, and Ms Cleland said it was now expected to receive a great deal of interest from buyers.
