The home:
Tucked behind a white picket fence, in one of Mount Gambier's most sought-after streets, 56 Bertha Street is a picture-perfect blend of heritage charm and contemporary living.
While its period façade, tessellated tiled verandah, soaring ceilings and polished timber floors speak to its 1890 origins, the rear of the home unfolds into a stunning, light-filled modern living space designed with lifestyle and entertaining in mind.
Positioned on a generous 721sqm allotment - a hidden gem that's not immediately evident from the street - this beautifully renovated four-bedroom home is just a short walk to the CBD, schools, shops and local amenities.
Step inside and you'll find period detailing throughout the front of the home, with wainscotting, decorative entry hall archways, tall skirting boards and chandeliers adding elegance and warmth.
The master suite is a standout, offering a unique walk-through dressing room with built-in powder station framed with contemporary wall sconces. A luxuriously large ensuite awaits beyond the dressing room, complete with a walk-in rain shower and wall-hung timber vanity with an on-trend above-bench basin.
Two of the three other bedrooms offer generous, light-filled proportions and floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, while the other bedroom is a good size and perfect as a nursery or a home office.
There's also a second, fully renovated bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a deep freestanding bath and a large, semi-frameless shower.
In the centre of the home awaits a cosy formal living room with a wood fire and reverse cycle airconditioner - perfect for movie nights or curling up with a good book.
At the rear, the grand open-plan kitchen, living and dining space is where this home truly shines. The chef's kitchen features an integrated fridge, stainless steel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop, sleek cabinetry, stone benchtops, and a generous island bench, all under industrial-style pendant lighting. Complete with a reverse cycle air conditioner in the living space.
Stacker doors open wide to connect the indoors with a spectacular covered alfresco area, complete with upgraded flooring, inbuilt surround sound, fans, TV connection, and electric blinds - ideal for year-round entertaining.
The large backyard offers a second patio area, lush lawn for kids and pets to play, and even space for a firepit. With a fully landscaped garden, secure fencing, single garage and ample off-street parking, this home is as practical as it is beautiful.
Other features include plantation shutters, designer lighting, contemporary matte black ceiling fans and instant gas hot water.
The vendor loves:
"We've loved how this home combines the charm of the original cottage with the light-filled modern living at the back - especially the chef's kitchen with its integrated fridge, the big bathrooms and the flow to the deck and backyard. It's been the perfect place to entertain friends, walk into town along the rail trail, and let the kids and dog play safely in the private yard."
