1/1 Marianna Street, Echunga SA 5153

Sanders Cottage' was purportedly built for early settler George Sanders prior to the 1852 gold-rush and the opening of the Echunga Goldfield. Additional works were then carried out over the next 40 years or so to enlarge the home, followed by recent thoughtful restoration and upgrading, blending old with new, to create the beautiful traditional cottage as it stands proudly today.
Many sought after characteristics of the 19th century remain, including fireplaces, high ceilings, colonial windows, panelled timber doors, tall skirting boards and wide verandahs ... all now enhanced by crisp bright decor, a stylish modern kitchen and bathroom, and efficient cosy combustion heating.

Sitting privately on a generous level 1146m2 allotment, the home is quietly tucked away behind a high brush fence and is surrounded by delightful mature gardens. Dual access, front and side, adds flexibility for extra cars, van or boat. A good bore provides abundant water.
Other features of note include:
* An excellent Adelaide Hills location only 30 minutes or so from the CBD.
* 3 big bedrooms and open plan living.
