It will be love at first sight when you discover this totally captivating 'white weatherboard' home, ideally positioned on a sumptuously light-filled and gently sloping allotment of some 1,020 sqm (or around 1/4 of an acre).
Enormous appeal begins from the street. Classic white picket fence, cottage gravel driveway and immersed with exotic plantings, including advanced Camelias, the property draws you in. Fronted by neatly clipped Viburnum hedging, the home invites you to step beneath the full-width verandah.
The original character of the front facade of this picture-perfect symmetrical cottage is apparent. It's adorned with original sash windows that flank the deep green front door-a clue to the cosy style that lies within.
As you step inside, you are welcomed by exquisite old-world feels with match board lined walls, gorgeous original timber floors, lofty ceilings and an 'ornamental' fireplace in one of the front bedrooms.
All three bedrooms, with reverse cycle air conditioning, are a good size and provide a greater sense of space than the floor plan suggests. The vintage-curated interior continues, and the exposed brick fireplace with a modern wood combustion heater sits as the centrepiece.
In 2022, an extensive renovation, including complete re-roofing, was undertaken to sympathetically and thoughtfully re-imagine the residence for today's living, where polished concrete floors compliment the original features perfectly. The living, kitchen and outdoor patio blend seamlessly thanks to the expansive double-glazed bi-fold door system that opens to the sunny north.
The home is a rich blend of yesteryear warmth and charm combined with today's modern comfort and style where the well-appointed country kitchen with timber benchtops, shaker-style doors, and subway tiles is light and bright and includes a large island bench overlooking the dining area and out to the private rear yard.
Also, at the rear of the home, there is a large 'walk-through' laundry and a luxurious new bathroom, complete with under-floor heating and a separate WC.
The rear of the property is expansive, which provides plenty of space for children and four-legged friends to play. There's room for a potential large shed at the rear (STC). The keen gardener will quickly realise the property's full potential by capitalising on its existing structure and lovely outdoor features including stone retainers and fire pit area.
It is located within walking distance of the Lobethal school, supermarket and cafes and surrounded by stunning wineries, amazing landscapes, local produce and artisan producers.
The current owners created Nahren Haus (nourish house) as a bed & breakfast accommodation and is ideally suited for first home owners, down-sizers, retirees, astute investors, or those wishing to own a true Adelaide Hills escape and continue the success of this top 5% rated 'guest favourite' Airbnb venture.
Situated in one of the Adelaide Hills' most beautiful towns, this property is only a 45-minute drive to the CBD.
