3 Bedrooms / 1 Bathroom / 788 square metres

Some of the outstanding features of this property:

North facing living areas- this means in winter the sun floods through the windows of the house providing natural warmth, but in summer during the heat of the day it does not.
Solid brick walls- this house was built properly in 1965 with solid brick walls inside and out- far superior to timber frame and gyprock walls (known as brick veneer). This means the house is cooler in summer and warmer in winter, the rooms are quieter and unlike gyprock, the walls are strong, durable and safe from white ants.
New bathroom, laundry and kitchen- Wet areas and kitchens are typically the most expensive part of any renovations. The bathroom, laundry and separate toilet have been professionally renovated. All underfloor drainage and plumbing is new throughout the whole property and the new bathroom is bright and modern. The clever bathroom design means the shower is large without the need for a glass shower screen so cleaning is a breeze. The kitchen has also undergone renovations with new quality stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, new stylish tiled splashbacks and ample new cupboards.
Slow combustion wood heater- South Australia’s winters are cold. The house features a quality Australian made wood heater. The solid stone and brick walls near the heater warm up and store the heat so the house stays warm 24 hours. Even the bathroom becomes warm while the heater is burning.
Polished timber floors and high ceilings- The original polished solid timber floor is the ultimate flooring. Warm in winter and cool in summer, it is easy to clean and allergy friendly. High ceilings add value and make a home feel open and spacious.
Outdoor entertaining- The outdoor areas also face north allowing lovely sunny afternoon barbeques. The protected porch also doubles as a sheltered entertaining area and has a barbeque gas outlet plumbed to the main gas bottles. The semi open pergola is lovely on sunny autumn and spring days and has lots of potential for a new timber deck.
Garage/ shed- Built only last year, the garage is 3.6m x 9.0m. It is a quality Colorbond steel shed with concrete floor, roller door and personal access door.
Cupboards and storage space- All 3 bedrooms have built-in robes. There is a large new linen cupboard and the kitchen has plenty of cupboards and bench space. The laundry also has new cupboards and a new bench top. The sunroom located near the kitchen works well as an office but also has the potential to be used as a forth bedroom, a playroom/studio or as an area for pets.
Superior location- The Marchant Rd area is an established high-quality elevated area in the Strathalbyn township with well-built homes and gardens and respectable community. It is close to the town centre and conveniently close to the town’s main entry point from Mt Barker or Adelaide. The home is also just a short walk to the schools with the advantage of no main road crossings needed to access the primary schools on East Tce.
Large allotment- With dual road frontages and two driveway access points the property is great for people who own a trailer, boat or caravan. The double width main driveway has enough room for the addition of a double carport if needed and there is plenty of land available for a future home extension. The property is well fenced and the front fence could easily be increased in height similar to many other north-facing properties on Marchant Rd so as to provide a truly private yard. The yard has been planned so that there is a separate screened-off utility area- great for storing outdoor items out of sight. The utility area also has a clothesline, a wood shed and 10,000L rainwater tank.
Great price- The owners of this house want to sell quickly so have already reduced the price significantly. With its good design and solid build and all the features listed above, this house represents great value and potential.
