Framed by a picket fence and front tiled porch, this much-loved cottage, held by the same family for almost 25 years is perfectly positioned in the heart of Port Elliot.
Set on approximately 681sqm of land, this character home delivers an enviable lifestyle of cafes, community and boutique shopping, with iconic Horseshoe Bay just a few steps from home. Affectionally known by locals as Dr Rose and Miss Daisy, the owners were renowned for their expertly handcrafted dolls and teddy bears that found homes around the world; together with handmade chocolates, enjoyed by many within South Australia. Today, the home still reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of their working life.
Step from the front patio into the elegant dining room, a welcoming introduction to the charm that unfolds throughout the home. Adjacent to the dining room is a cosy sitting room, fondly known as the 'hug room', ideal for quiet evenings with a good book.
Beyond a leadlight doorway, a hallway leads to two bedrooms, the main bathroom, additional living spaces and a classic country style kitchen.
The dining room and the sitting room both feature split system air conditioning, solid timber floors and high ceilings enhancing the home's appeal. The bright kitchen retains its original character and includes an oven and cooktop, display shelving and a walk-in pantry. Nearby the main bathroom offers a bath, shower, vanity and separate toilet.
The master bedroom sits off the second entry and includes his and hers built-in wardrobes, along with its own adjoining sitting room. The second bedroom is a good size with display shelving along one wall. A sunroom overlooks the delightful gardens at the rear.
Step outside to discover an intriguing garden filled with creativity. Meandering pathways, garden beds, raised vegetable plots, storage sheds and peaceful corners to relax. A delightful courtyard provides for the perfect place to spend the afternoon while listening to the gentle chime of church bells, with the historic St Judes Anglican Church forming a picturesque backdrop.
Additional features include a double carport, studio/workshop, woodshed, external laundry and garage for storage.
This is a truly special property, ready for its next chapter. Embrace the unique charm of this 'out of the box' home and immerse in all that Port Elliot offers with a lifestyle that will capture your heart.
