26 West Terrace

Kapunda SA 5373

Structurally solid and retaining all the fine architectural features associated with a house of this significance which include high ceilings, fireplaces, pressed metal ceilings, stained glass windows, elaborate rosettes, original doors, exposed blue stone walls, and large rooms, whilst outside there are rambling lawns with established gardens and trees that come with properties of this era.

Tucked away up a long gravel driveway behind cast iron "sunshine gates" and perched on a huge allotment of 2320m2, you find the homestead with its return concave front veranda. Providing an abundance of spacious, beautifully appointed rooms which include a characterful country kitchen, 5 bedrooms, Library, separate laundry with second bathroom, mudroom, generous formal lounge, recently renovated main bathroom with a feature stone wall, and the fabulous sun-drenched sitting room with leadlight window.

A 6m x 9m garage with concrete floor with pit and power, and carport 2.8m x 12.0m provides storage/ workshop space. Other outside additions include a freestanding freestone outbuilding (ideal office or studio) with an underground dry cellar and the original town's slaughterhouse.

More recent additions to the property include the saltwater inground swimming pool, 26 solar panels with Tesla battery, and ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling. There is little work to be done as the current owners have made tasteful upgrades to the home which allows for a flexible floorplan, however it would present an exciting and rewarding renovation and restoration project for those looking for an escape to the country and to add their own stamp to the property. Perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity for an astute buyer to secure, restore and recreate a grand private residence or a unique commercial venture.

This is one property you need to view if only to walk through the walls of yesteryear to see and feel the lifestyle of our early gentry.
