85 Main Street went on the market in November at a price of $1.375m.
It is a landmark building that combines heritage architecture with contemporary comfort.
Built in 1907, the Langsford is located in the centre of Stawell on the corner of Main and Wimmera Streets.
There have been various owners and tenants over the ensuing years and in 2014 it was sold to the current owner.
A full and comprehensive restoration was started, bringing the imposing, historical and significant landmark back to life.
Listing agent, Terry Monaghan, of Monaghan's Real Estate, said the owner hasn't left a stone unturned in the restoration.
"It's been a massive job to restore the building into something magnificent," he said.
"It certainly surprised me with what the owner was able to achieve.
"Despite some really specialist projects, local tradespeople were used in the restoration."
The property's awning verandah which was believed to have been removed in the 1930s was recreated precisely as it was in 1907.
