Neatly hidden away at the end of an extensive driveway, this early 1900s classic homestead is full of timeless characteristics with a stunning sandstone facade complemented by decorative brick detailing and a front verandah to welcome. The addition of a sensitive and thoughtfully created extension provides extra room for extended family living and entertaining.
Full of charm, the original cottage is abundant with character features including lofty ceilings, decorative cornices, wide skirtings, sash windows and original ornate fireplaces. The spacious interior features a timeless floorplan with a central hallway, cosy lounge room with combustion fireplace, a study (or 4th bedroom) with its own external access and two large front facing bedrooms with traditional fireplaces.
The expansive open plan extension has been thoughtfully created to maintain the cottage ambience with the original exterior wall becoming an internal feature in the family space. The clever inclusion of a skylight and placement of large windows provides plentiful natural light and captures glimpses of the gorgeous outdoor gardens. A beautifully crafted American Oak kitchen overlooks the family and dining area and features an abundance of cupboard space, granite benches, dishwasher, separate oven and gas cooktop. Incorporated with the extension, the master bedroom enjoys a walk-in robe, glass door to the garden and ensuite-style access to the main family bathroom with deep bath, separate shower and bright skylight.
From the open plan area, French doors provide access to the beautiful rear garden, abundant with rich, lush green foliage, vibrant bursts of colour and stunning rock walls and garden beds, stone steps and a feature arbour walkway. A combination of lawns, paved areas and pathways with established leafy trees provide perfect sun dappled areas to relax and enjoy the garden surrounds.
Additional outdoor features include a cubby house, storage room attached to the home, 12 x 9 shed with concrete floor, power and roller door, solar panels, woodshed and chicken enclosure.
This wonderful character home is sited on just under half an acre, being 1803sqm in the heart of Mount Barker with close proximity to the town's thriving shopping, dining and entertainment precincts and only a couple of minutes to freeway access.
