A prime position and location, opposite the Mount Barker Showgrounds and Sports Complex. The huge 1,372sqm allotment offers great potential for subdivision or further development (subject to all necessary Govt. consents).
The stone residence was built in 1900 and offers great street appeal and character, with classic picket fence, bullnose front verandah, turned timber posts, and brick quoins around the windows and front door.
Entering the central hallway, there are lofty 11′ ceilings with embellished archway. The Baltic timber flooring adds to the character, and continues down through to the living area and kitchen. There are three bedrooms (plus the studio), each with television points and two of these rooms offer fireplaces with ornate timber surrounds. There are ceiling roses in the hallway and a few of the rooms. The family lounge offers slow combustion log fire with a heat transfer system, one bedroom also has a gas bayonet connection, and there is an LG reverse cycle split system air conditioner.
The eat-in kitchen offers great cupboard space, modern Euro double wall oven and there are new electric hot plates. There is a double sink, fridge alcove and pantry cupboards.
The laundry has water trough and outside access, and linking is the bathroom which offers bath, shower, toilet and vanity with wall mounted mirror.
The rear patio verandah has been brick paved and sets the scene for outside entertaining, especially with the backdrop of the huge rear yard. There are a number of mature trees, including silver birch, ash, plus fruit trees – apricot, plum, apple and a baby nectarine.
The garage complex measures approximately 7m x 9m and promotes many positive attributes, as the majority of the structure has been lined and insulated. Uses include a teenage retreat, artist’s studio, work from home space separate to the residence, show room for the collector, or a ‘sound proof’ area for the musician. There are essentially three zones – a bedroom/rumpus, a workshop and vehicle storage area. There is access to the rear yard through the garage, furthermore there is an existing concrete slab should further garaging be required. Separate to the garage is a small garden shed.
An historical character residence in a prominent location. Endless possibilities abound!
