17-19 LINDSAY STREET, Victor Harbor SA 5211

"Alawoona" A brief history on this fabulous property from the vendors is as follows:
Building commenced in the late 1920s, but slowed during the Great Depression. The house was not completed until Richard Chaffey Paull bought it the early 1930s. R. C. Paull had been a successful baker and businessman with his wife at Alawoona and they carried the town's name to their new home in Victor Harbor. Originally built with a single car garage, the property had a large round fish pond on the eastern side with fruit trees continuing down to the backyard dividing hedge. Behind this were vegetable gardens, fig trees, and a dovecote for pigeons. These have given way to a three-car garage, large water tanks, and more garden.
The family have maintained residence in the property for the past 90 plus years with multiple generations enjoying it's fabulous location and size, especially the gardens and traditional features. .
Positioned on the flat just minutes from central Victor Harbor, this freestone bungalow sits on a double block (two titles) of approx 1394m2 with entrances on both sides of the dwelling. The gardens have been maintained beautifully
and still retain some of the original fruit trees and raspberry bushes. There is a solid brick single garage on one side with an inspection pit. On the north/east side at the rear of the property is a triple bay garage/shed with light and power.
The home presents to a high standard with all of it's period features still intact, and maintained to perfection. This includes ornate high ceilings, polished floor boards, high skirting boards and working fireplaces. A true reflection of a classic Adelaide Gentlemen's Bungalow/homestead of just under 100 years old. There are only a few homes in the Victor Harbor area that capture this era and time so wonderfully.
Features include:
Large covered front verandah. Amazing quality stone and brick work.
Ornate cornices, picture rails and domed ceiling roses.
A huge billiard room with 3/4 size billiard table. Fireplace, mantle and display cabinets reflecting the era.
A formal lounge room/library or drawing room, again with period features.
A huge master bedroom with ensuite, large enough for a parents retreat as well.
Three additional large bedrooms perfect for all the family and guests and all with wardrobes either built in or free standing.
Large family bathroom with vanity, shower and toilet plus a full bath.
Large spacious hallways, multiple linen press cupboards and access hallways from other internal areas.
Huge family dining area with a beautiful timber and glass divider separating the kitchen and pantry areas.
Perfect north facing tiled sunroom/conservatory area with timber doors leading to the beautiful established large garden.
A laundry the size of most modern bedrooms and a separate third toilet. A perfect area to wash up after being in the garden or following a day at the beach.
A fully covered entertaining area, ideal for large family gatherings or even a wedding or two.
Easy maintainance gardens, flat lawns and lovely large and small trees resulting in ample shade and a cool, tranquil environment.
Rainwater tanks to water the plants, a compost area/veggie patch and even room for the chooks if you so desired.
An iconic quality feature residence which is becoming increasingly rare in Victor Harbor. A generational home with so many features and attributes that it is hard to list them all.
