From corner store to family home, this famous (we'll get to that) Lower Mitcham abode is your chance to own a unique slice of suburban history, etched into the leafy backstreet of a tightly held near-city locale.
Some will remember it as the set for the original Balfours 'What about me' commercial. A treasure in its own right - and just one of many curious backstories to this 3-4-bedroom home that incorporates the original corner store into its flexible layout.
The shop has been divided into two sections, both providing charming work spaces or living zones at the sunny front of this solar and battery powered home with prized side road access.
The shop is part of a bungalow style home with those quintessential 1920s period features; polished Baltic pine floors, lofty decorative ceilings included.
The shop section - featuring its own bathroom and external access - can be closed off from the rest of the home, giving it scope be a self-contained host to live-in laws or commercial endeavours.
It all finds its equilibrium at a spacious central dining/lounge room, feeding a modern kitchen with stone benchtops, copious storage, 90cm freestanding oven and a casual meals zone at its feet.
Step out to a glorious, private rear yard with pitched-roof pavilion, lush lawns, powered shed and two parking bays; one a secure carport with Panelift entry, the other equipped to take a caravan or work trailer with ease.
Beyond this special property is a lifestyle that comes to you, just a short drive from Mitcham Square, Scotch College, cosmopolitan Unley and the city itself. What about Lower Mitcham?
