Stationed minutes from the south's great blue sits a proud restoration honouring Colonial brilliantly - a one-of-a-kind, c1865 stone cottage ingrained in Normanville history...
Today, with 3 bedrooms, a bold kitchen renovation and 2 new bathrooms, it's a worthy home, weekender, or bespoke guest stay moments to coveted Fleurieu hotspots - from Links Lady Bay Golf Course to Normanville and Carrickalinga's golden shores.
Read the wall plaque and recount it's time as a reputed Cape Jervis stop-over, labelling itself "Dunstall's Corner" after Guy Dunstall, a coach driver, and the cottage's third owner (c1889-1913), who, by many accounts tempted travellers for a rest, a beer and a tale.
A poem titled "Three Ways" talks about it; maybe tomorrow, you'll do it.....
In a home sympathetically tying past to present, letting polished Jarrah and Baltic Pine floors, solid timber beams, lintels, leadlight and stonework step forward - reworked stone and buttress walls overseen by famed local stonemason, Tiger McMillan, as his final "retired for the moment" salute at age 78.
With a ballroom/living zone illuminated by lights originating from the Adelaide Railway Station and original wallpaper restored by Normanville botanical artist, Gilbert Dashorst.
And where vivid navy blue paints in the new kitchen serving up a caterer-sized Blanco stainless oven and gas cook-top, Bosch stainless dishwasher, garden views and return verandah access.
As 2 of it's 3 bedrooms open to the return verandah - spliced by a sitting room with open fireplace and nearby central living/ballroom with a classic historical enclosed cast-iron fireplace, brilliantly polished Jarrah flooring - with a separate, sun-drenched master bedroom hosting robes and a fully tiled ensuite.
Both new bathrooms boast spacious glass-free showers, with intentional rustic/contemporary contrast added by timber vanities and antique tap-ware against modern subway tiles and open plan simplicity.
How better to capture the past and the scenic south coast than in a Limestone beauty leaving a lasting impression?
