"Meribah Cottage" is a charming building built at the turn of the century.
The Stein Brothers started making butter by hand in May 1906 and after having some initial success persuaded a benefactor, Conrad Sturm to build a factory for them to house their new butter-making machinery.
Due to hard times the business was closed after a few years and was converted to a residence, but still maintains the integrity of its age and heritage.
A feeling of history emanates throughout this entire property, beginning from the original glass above the front door.
As you enter, you will be captivated with many of its original features, including high ceilings, rich polished floor boards, wide skirting boards, leadlight features and timber ceilings.
The walls are thick stone and keep the lower level at a constant temperature, with a reverse cycle air conditioner cooling the second storey.
A wooden staircase leads you upstairs where you find 3 good sized bedrooms, all with dormer windows - the kids will feel like they are on top of the world!
The recently upgraded sleek galley style kitchen has new appliances and the luxury of a large pantry.
Sunshine streams in from the sunroom/4th bedroom at the rear of the home and overlooks the garden.
The focal point of the lounge room is a stunning exposed blue stone wall; this room just invites you to curl up in front of the ornate open fireplace, with a good book on a cold winter's night.
Both the lounge and separate dining room have quality full length curtains framing the windows. The bathroom has been modernised and offers a corner shower alcove, tub and timber vanity with hand basin.
There is a separate toilet, laundry and utility room.
The rear garden is an open wonderland with loads of room and scope to develop as you want.
A mix of mature trees, garden beds and roses, just wander around and absorb the views, over to the River Torrens and rural land beyond.
Storage includes a galvanised 3.6x4m garden shed, with cement floor and power, plus a second smaller shed.
Mains water is connected and there is a sealed stone lined well, which is unequipped.
For the man of the home, 3 phase power is connected.
This home is sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates the style and character that comes with age.
A delightful home, just waiting for its new family to love it!
