Comprising a charming five-bedroom home at 56 Bay Rd and a fully fenced 401sqm rear allotment at 56A Bay Rd, this versatile holding offers limitless scope for homeowners, businesses and investors.
Set behind manicured hedges, fragrant roses and a deep, shady verandah, the residence exudes character and warmth.
Breathe new life into classic period details, including polished timber floors, high ceilings, timber skirtings and original three-panel doors, blended with modern conveniences for effortless day-to-day living.
Multiple living areas provide impressive flexibility, from a formal lounge to a spacious family and dining zone and a reception-style foyer currently configured for allied health.
Five generously sized bedrooms are accompanied by sunrooms off three rooms. These light-drenched spaces are ideal as quiet reading retreats, creative studios, play spaces or additional storage.
The master enjoys an ensuite, while the main bathroom features both bath and shower facilities.
A slow-combustion wood heater and air-conditioning provide year-round comfort, while the original timber kitchen offers great storage, generous bench space and a tiled splashback.
Currently operating as a chiropractic clinic, the property is perfectly equipped for professional rooms with the current tenant open to negotiate leasing back. It could also be seamlessly returned to a welcoming family home.
It's equally ideal as a combined home-and-business base or re-imagined as boutique short-stay accommodation close to Mount Gambier's most visited attractions.
The rear title expands the potential dramatically. Maintain it as off-street parking, extend the existing home, build a brand-new residence or luxurious tourist accommodation, or create a dual-income hub by leasing one site and occupying the other (all STCA). Future-proof flexibility like this is rare.
A wide, shared, concreted driveway leads to rear parking, double carport and entry, with both blocks flat, fenced and particularly user-friendly, irrespective of whether you're planning an exciting redevelopment, a lifestyle upgrade or a strategic investment.
With Blue Lake, cafés, parks and the city centre only steps away, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a premium address with unrivalled options for the future.
