Positioned on a generous 787sq m allotment on a highly desirable corner block, this beautifully updated 1950s residence presents an outstanding opportunity for first-home buyers, young families and investors alike, combining immediate comfort with long-term potential in one of Mount Gambier's most convenient pockets.
Set behind established cottage gardens and mature trees, a winding concrete path leads to a charming façade with period detailing, a welcoming front verandah and a striking lead-light entry door.
Inside, the home opens to a formal entry with high ceilings, decorative cornices and a calm, neutral colour palette that sets the elegant tone for the rest of the residence.
The flexible floorplan comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in robes, including a generous main bedroom filled with natural light via double windows.
The home's original character is complemented by thoughtful updates throughout, including stunning slate flooring, timber-look flooring in the living zone, split-system heating and cooling, and a recently installed gas hot-water system.
At the heart of the home, a large living room provides ample space for relaxed family living, featuring a glass sliding door to the pergola. The adjacent dine-in kitchen offers both functionality and personality.
Pastel green cabinetry, cream benchtops, generous storage and an upright gas oven and cooktop create a space that is both practical and on trend, with room for a full dining setting for everyday meals or casual entertaining.
Two further bedrooms, with built-in robes and plush carpet underfoot, are generously proportioned and ideal for children, guests or as a home office.
The bathroom retains a sense of character with a deep cast-iron bath and shower, while the laundry and separate toilet at the rear of the home add further convenience, with scope to repurpose the laundry area as a sunroom if desired.
Outdoors, the property truly comes into its own. A semi-enclosed undercover entertaining area extends the living space year-round, overlooking a spacious, landscaped backyard with paved areas, established gardens, shade trees, a garden shed and room for veggie patches, pets or children to play.
With rear lane access, off-street parking, proximity to the local shopping centre, easy access to the CBD and the Blue Lake, and ample scope to extend or further enhance over time, this is a move-in-ready home that offers both lifestyle appeal and future upside.
