Last Listing description (September 2011)
Phenomenal Value
If you're looking to buy a home that could arguably have been over capitalized, look no further. Purchased just over 2 years ago and intending to stay forever, the current owners spent up big. New kitchen, new laundry, solar electricity panels, new ducted cooling, new split system air conditioning, new front and rear security doors, new rainwater tank and redecorating. Life happens to you while you're busy planning for something else, so a change of circumstances for the owners gives you a great buying opportunity at this new price way below cost.
With its chef's kitchen and stunning vineyard views, this McLaren Vale home will no doubt appeal to food & wine lovers. The well-maintained 152m2 home built in 1991 will also appeal to families after a comfortable 3 bedroom home with two living areas on a generous 762m2 block. Solar panels mean your electricity bill will be minimal, and with ducted evaporative cooling, a split system heater and gas heater provide comfort all year round. Two sets of sliding glass doors off the family room lead to a huge outdoor covered entertaining area, large shed and spacious lawn area for the kids.
The almost new Davis & Park kitchen in this lovely home is a delight. Imagine standing at the bench preparing a meal for your guests or family who are enjoying a glass of wine at the table in the outdoor entertaining area and enjoying the beautiful views across the rolling hills of McLaren Vale and its vineyards. All year round you can enjoy the changing colours of the vines from season to season.
The wood grain cupboards of the kitchen contrast nicely with the charcoal grey bench tops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen has a gas cook top, dishwasher and Pura tap.
The formal L shape lounge room is attractive, with cream carpet. At one end you step into the kitchen overlooking the large light and airy tiled family/dining room. The other end leads to the bedrooms. The master bedroom has a built in robe and ceiling fan, and leads to the 2 way bathroom. Down the hall are the other two bedrooms, and an updated laundry. There are also blinds throughout and a linen press.
Out through the two sets of sliding glass doors at the back of the family/dining room is the huge verandah and outdoor entertaining area - what a great place for a barbie with those views! There's also single drive through carport, a large 9x5m shed, rainwater tank and new security doors.
This brick veneer home has been well maintained, with the front and rear gardens well established.
