51 Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay SA 5211

Built Circa 1920 this character coastal bungalow residence has had a number of transformations in its lifetime and now presents as a beautifully renovated family home. Located in an absolutely prime position on the waterfront on Franklin Parade, enjoying stunning ocean views taking in Granite Island, Seal Rock, Wright Island and The Bluff - marvel at the waves crashing into the islands and be spellbound by the glorious sunrises and sunsets.

You enter into a formal sitting room with delightful sea views, to discover a warmth provided by the rich colours of the polished Oregon floor and heated in the winter months by the built in gas fireplace. The master bedroom faces the ocean and has a built in fireplace. Stairs take you to the upstairs bedroom also with ocean views, looking directly out to Wright Island and The Bluff. There are two more upstairs bedrooms - quite small (suitable for bunks) but separated by a stud wall which could easily be removed to create a larger bedroom if required. A doorway provides access to a very handy attic storage area.

Descending the stairs and enter a lovely sunroom, which in turn takes you through to an office/bedroom and recently renovated bathroom. There is a second living room (just off the kitchen) again with gas fireplace, creating another very handy living space. The kitchen has been completely renovated in recent times and comes with 6 burner gas stove and Corian bench tops. The kitchen opens into a large dining room with home office, which in turn opens out onto a covered paved patio/ pool deck. To complete the floor plan, another bedroom and a fully renovated bathroom with double shower and claw bath.

The patio area is of very generous proportions, has an outside shower and provides access to the 9m x 4m salt water pool, which has a pergola at one end. At the end of the covered walkway, you find a fabulous games room and a studio, complete with spa bath and bathroom - perfectly positioned next to the pool. Between the two rooms is a double garage. There is a carport with plenty of height suitable for parking a caravan or boat. The extensive paving is large enough to accommodate an additional four cars. The home has 5kw of solar power connected. A home with so many options - suit B&B or home office.

Simply stunning location, close to fabulous cafes and restaurants - live the life, relax and unwind!!
