The home sits between the Jubilee Highway and Penola Road, within walking distance of the Childcare and School. It is close to the Mount Gambier Marketplace, Health Service and the centre of town - convenience without compromise.

Access to the house is via an incredible paved forecourt that overlooks manicured lawns, hedges, flower beds and established trees. The solid stone home features a pitched roof with an arched entry that leads into a grand foyer and hallway, carpeted for comfort with high ceilings and leadlight to either side of a solid period door.

A stunning family room sits immediately to the left, overlooking the exquisite front garden. It offers brand new carpets and an incredible gas fireplace built into the original open fireplace with a solid timber mantle, mirror and shelf. Pendant lighting sits centrally below high ceilings, creating a light and spacious room.

The second bedroom sits opposite, with the front-facing room offering dual robes to either side of large windows with beautiful leadlight features and a drop ceiling. This elegant room also accesses an ensuite shared by the main bedroom directly behind.

This bedroom boasts a gorgeous original faux fireplace, wall-to-wall solid built-in robes and accesses a side verandah leading to a beautiful sunroom. It has sheer curtains, pendant lighting and stunning bi-fold leadlight doors opening into a spacious ensuite with a walk-in shower, a timber vanity with a basin and storage, a skylight, and large frosted windows with blinds overlooking the verandah.

Bedroom four sits opposite, with bedroom three at the end of the hall, overlooking the rear garden. Both rooms are doubles and benefit from built-in robes and stunning timber faux fireplaces. All bedrooms are carpeted for comfort and offer high ceilings with cornice detail and pendant lighting.

A second living room sits in the rear corner of the house, with views of the garden. It has gorgeous, polished floorboards and a faux fireplace with a mantle surround. It features a pendant/chandelier, has double windows for maximum light, and accesses the verandah and sunroom.

The family bathroom is conveniently central. It features a tiled privacy screen between the toilet and a timber vanity accommodating a basin and a mirror. A classic red and cream checker floor leads to a sunlit bath sitting below frosted leadlight windows. Motif cornices add subtle colour to this bright bathroom.

The far left of the home accommodates an open-plan dining room and enormous country kitchen with a mudroom and laundry at the rear.

The solid kitchen features quality timber cabinetry with a spacious breakfast bar, a dishwasher and a double sink, all overlooking the alfresco pergola via large windows. It offers a black electric oven and range hood, with a gas cooktop and white tiled splashback.

The kitchen can be closed from the rear, where a central door leads to the spectacular garden, with a mud room ensuring boots and coats also have their place. The laundry provides a wash basin and linen press with additional storage and bench space.

A single garage sits to the left of the pergola, under-the-main-roof. It benefits from double storage rooms at the rear. This property continues to impress wherever you look, offering a huge rear shed with loft storage and double-parking bays.
