7 Cromer Road

Birdwood SA 5234

4.75 acres. From the roadside little can be seen of the size, beauty and scope that Blumberg Mews provides, other than the canopy of trees that together with the garden centrepiece and circular driveway form a regal type entrance. The home surrounds are a blend of manicured box hedges, roses, flowering shrubs, native and deciduous trees. The majority of land however, is flat to gently sloping grass, perfect for family enjoyment. Whether it be a game of cricket or football or simply a stroll to the water s edge, the setting is superb. A picnic rug or a chair on the timber deck near the river is not a bad way to spend an afternoon. If this type of land holding isn t scarce enough, there is even an approval for subdivision, allowing the creation of three separate titles. SA water is connected and is used as a backup supply to the rainwater storage.
RESIDENCE
Originally a solid bluestone barn, this homestead has undergone extensive restoration and extensions during a 5-year period from 1990-1995. High standards and finishes are evident throughout. Bluestone which was originally quarried in the Birdwood area has been seamlessly added to the original structure to build this stately home. The property has been operated as a luxury bed and breakfast and anyone desiring such a venture, should strongly consider this property. As you enter the home you can see and feel the warmth calling you in. The bluestone and polished timbers gently embrace you from the first step onwards. The enticing glow from the uniquely designed North-facing floor to ceiling windows which overlook the grounds draws you towards the hand-crafted kitchen. From the pressed iron surrounds to the massive pine supports, the heart of the household gives an inspiring outlook to the rest of this grand home. The modern gas cooktop can enable an intimate dinner for two or a masterchef creation for guests and family that can be served in the formal dining room. Its stained glass French doors leading from the kitchen create an atmosphere for wonderful meals and entertaining conversations. The lower levels offer still more with a fully-carpeted drawing room with exposed beam ceilings, just the place to retreat and enjoy good company. A den has a multitude of uses just right for the library/study or, if really need be, a sixth bedroom. The lower level bedrooms both have their own ensuite. Quality was not compromised when designing this massive restoration. A separate laundry and large walk-in pantry have also been included. Travertine stone flooring has recently been completed, adding light and quality and even more appeal to the lower of four levels of living. As you ascend the stairs the view to the River Torrens just gets better. There s a quaint area to enjoy a good book as the sun warms you through the windows, or you could open the balcony door and hear the harmonious sounds of the birdlife that inhabits the area. The master bedroom truly gives the feeling that you re Lord of the Manor, with its own walk-in robe ensuite and opulent separate clawed bath. Bedrooms two and three both share a two-way bathroom and are delightfully appointed. Last but not least the family room is large with wall to wall carpets and raked ceilings. This would hold the biggest family and still have room for more. Period features, stunning craftsmanship, the numerous choices of living are all embraced by the grand structure.
IMPROVEMENTS
A double garage under the main roof is all in keeping with the character of the property. A 22,000 gallon concrete rainwater tank supplies clean water, which is supported by the SA water supply. There is also an unequipped bore. Concealed and unobtrusive, a very purposeful, recently constructed garage that measures 30ft x 30 has a high clearance roller door and concrete floor. Use as a high grade implement shed or storage for the Jag, which would be right at home here.
