Rich in history, this Federation-style home, known as 'Pikedale', was built in 1914 by renowned local builder George Trapp. Beautifully restored over the years, it seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Boasting a desirable double brick construction and many original features—such as ornate pressed metal ceilings, timber floors, leadlight windows, decorative timber accents, and a fireplace—this home is truly one of a kind.
Inside, 'Pikedale' offers a generous layout with three oversized bedrooms, including a master retreat complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. The two additional bedrooms, main bathroom, separate powder room and a well-designed internal laundry with a mudroom that ensures effortless family living. A separate loft space provides the perfect retreat for a home office, additional living area, or guest accommodation, while a dedicated study nook offers a functional workspace within the home.
The living areas exude warmth and grandeur, featuring an expansive lounge with a cosy fireplace and a northeast-facing dining room adorned with a suite of timber windows that capture the morning sun and overlook the paved area and lush gardens. The large modern kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting granite benchtops, a double sink, and modern appliances, including a freestanding oven with a gas cooktop, dishwasher and a built-in microwave. With ample storage, this kitchen perfectly balances style and practicality.
Adding to the home's appeal and functionality, the property also features a separate studio with its own bathroom—ideal for guests, teenagers, or a private workspace.
Outside, the fully fenced 1,012sqm corner block is a sanctuary of established gardens and beautifully manicured grounds, offering a peaceful and tranquil setting. Although centrally located in the heart of Mount Lofty, the property is private and provides a sense of seclusion. Additional features include a rainwater tank, ample storage, a large powered workshop, and a double carport behind an electric gate.
With its prime location and incredible scope, 'Pikedale' presents an array of opportunities. The property currently sits on two existing 506sqm lots, with an approved development application to realign into a 644sqm lot with the existing home while creating a separate 367sqm block at the rear (subject to DA conditions) — offering exciting development potential.
Live in and enjoy as is, renovate further, or unlock its full potential—'Pikedale' is a timeless masterpiece waiting for its next chapter.
