16 West Street, Echunga SA 5153

This home started out as a barn in 1890 on 1276sqm of land and has been cleverly renovated and transformed into something quite extraordinary. Congratulations goes to prominent fashion designer and interior stylist, Evelyn Neis who has meticulously reconstructed this property, salvaging and utilising as much of the original building materials as possible. Evelyn has extended the barn to utilise the space as a home, accommodating a large family. If your jaw doesn't drop when walking into this property, then nothing will.

Slide back the impressive barn doors and the magic awaits. Step into the foyer and your journey begins. With a mix of high-pitched ceilings, natural timber beams, large picture windows, and an array of old rusty tin which is featured around the home, is reminiscent of the bygone era. Although you will see raw materials throughout, on the walls and ceilings, rest assured the whole home is well insulated behind the façade, and new materials have been used over the top to meet the current building standards.

The open-plan living room displays polished concrete flooring, a massive open fireplace with overhead mantle and large elevated hearth. Extensive built-in bookshelves, large picture windows, 3 x ceiling fans, and the most impressive solid timber beams, further compliment this area. The kitchen has a 900mm stove with gas cooktop, and ample storage space. Adjacent, is the dining area which has direct access to the entertaining courtyard.

Enter the master suite which incorporates an enormous room, ideal for a parent's retreat, which also has direct access to the garage. The sleeping area is elevated, and not only does it have a dressing room, and ensuite with ample storage, but it also has a huge workshop area with leadlight windows and external access to the rear garden. This wing of the home would be perfect for self-contained living with a few modifications (s.t.c.c.).

There are 3 further bedrooms, and 2 extra bathrooms in the home. The main bathroom has a deep claw foot bath, and double vanity. The 4th bedroom has external access to a side garden, whilst bedrooms 2 & 3 have views over the pool. Bedroom 2 has an ensuite bathroom.

Externally, there is a sparkling in-ground, heated pool. The elevated pool house will be appreciated by the whole family on those hot sunny days and is a wonderful attribute of this property. Other features include: lofty ceilings and sliding barn doors throughout, polished concrete flooring, fully insulated ceilings and walls, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 100,000 litres of rainwater storage, solar heating to swimming pool, leadlight windows, large garden area, tool and wood shed, and much more.
