Attention home renovators or businesses wanting location and character!
655 Light Pass Road is a rare opportunity for purchasers who are looking for a property with just a little bit more than the average stone building of the era and set on a generous 3200sqm. This magnificent Villa with return veranda's was one of the original buildings in this area, built for the Hage family in the late 1800's and while needing some new loving has all the hallmarks of a spectacular family home.
Return veranda's, lead light windows and doors, wrought iron lattice, 12ft pressed metal ceilings, timber floors, not to mention 4.8kw solar and 3 phase power to the shed and house, along with a bore, complete new electrical wiring and all plumbing replaced - septic with PVC and mains with polypipe - this property presents a wonderful opportunity for any variety of purchasers.
If you have ever driven between Nuriootpa and Angaston you can't but notice this home with tennis court to the front and its commanding presence! 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms this homes original build was in 1890 then sympathetically added to in the early 1900's, there is so much potential.
The original part of the home of four main rooms from a central hallway has pressed metal ceilings and timber floors. The new addition carries the kitchen and a good sized pantry and living room. The kitchen features an oil fired AGA, with large windows facing west across the tree lined paddocks, there is an entry door to the veranda and access to the main dining room.
Several bedrooms have been repainted however much of this home will benefit from minor restoration and refurbishment. The back entry has a huge undercover veranda and entertaining area, leading into the home through a substantial rear porch, typical of homes built in this period. The bathroom and a large storage room along with the toilet are accessed from the back porch. In addition to the main living area is another bedroom with en-suite bathroom, ideal for teenage living or elderly parents requiring privacy or independence.
Outside is a clean slate for the gardening enthusiasts- with very little planted, but plenty of room for all sorts of projects and add-ons. On Light Pass Road the double garage with high pitched roof could easily convert to a creative workspace or gallery (STCC), while the other large colour bond shed has concrete floor and 3 phase power. The bore, though not connected at the moment could easily be workable with a pump attachment. There are 2 x 45,000 litre rainwater tanks plumbed to the whole house and the tennis court is still fenced but in need of care. Wrought iron and brush perimeter fencing adds to the character and charm of this fantastic home that is on offer by auction on 30th September 2016.
It's not often a home of this calibre comes on the market and there is certainly plenty of scope to make this a stunning family home or even a profile location for a small business (stcc), all you need is a little imagination and some creative energy to bring it back to its former glory!
