Last Listing description (July 2017)
What was once home to the local Baptist minister is now a proud piece of Wayville's storied history. The minister is long gone but the timeless grandeur of the federation villa remains.
Dig deeper to discover an extension that lives for the 21st century and a self-contained cottage that changes everything.
But first, you'll give godly praise to the current owners for preserving to perfection the period charm of the original home.
Even at the turn of the century, a cocktail of 3.8-metre-ceilings, Baltic pine floors, intricate leadlight, decorative ceiling roses and fireplaces were rarely presented so enchantingly. Today, they seduce like they did on day one.
Every room is grand in size and feel - all of them headlined by a chandelier-blessed library and a dining room reminiscent of a period film set.
Find two bedrooms worthy of master status, both connected by a sunroom and shared bathroom. So of course, the true master - with its walk-in robe and ensuite (with spa) - is better than most.
Punctuated by Blackwood timber cabinetry, granite benchtops and a mix of Miele, Blanco and Smeg stainless steel appliances; the kitchen is the undeniable hero of the expansive extension.
The unsung hero stands beyond the huge pergola, vine-covered winter patio, striking stainless steel butler's/outdoor kitchen and beautifully presented gardens of the rear yard...
