"First time offered in approx. 70 years - This c.1920 return verandah sandstone Villa also incorporates exceptional Commercial potential (S.T.P.C.)"
This superbly maintained property is located on a corner allotment of approx. 660sqm and has been long admired by many but never publicly offered for sale before now. Perfectly positioned facing Gawler's iconic Main North Road, it stands as one of the region's most striking architectural landmarks and an opportunity to secure a piece of local history with over 100 years of significance.
This beautifully presented residence showcases timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and a presence that immediately captures the attention of passers by. Set on a high exposure stretch of Main North Road, the property's visibility and accessibility are unmatched.
Entering the home via the the main front door surrounded by stained glass leadlight, the character features become immediately evident in the hallway entrance with its decorative fretwork, high skirting boards, high ceilings, architraves, cornicing, timber floorboards and ceiling roses throughout the original section of the home. The 2 main bedrooms are located at the front of the home, with one bedroom incorporating a fireplace with mantle. The other original sections of the home include a spacious living area with fireplace and mantle, with a second front door entrance to the verandah.
The kitchen & meals area is of a great size with functionality, and includes a cast iron wood oven (original to the period, as far as I'm aware). The 3rd bedroom/office/study together with the bathroom, separate toilet and laundry are at the rear of the home with direct access to the rear outdoor entertaining area and spacious lawned area and parking etc.
The home provides welcoming warmth, great versatility, and enduring quality not seen in modern built homes. Every room reflects decades of careful ownership, creating an environment perfectly suited for comfortable family living or a seamless commercial transition (S.T.P.C.).
