Rich in history and character, this 1864 Chapel-conversion is a local landmark.
Positioned on 1,171sqm, this beautifully presented home boasts stunning character features; from raked ceilings and polished Jarrah floors, to plantation shutters and open fireplaces.
The most striking, and certainly unique, feature of the property is the chapel.
Following a failed attempt to establish a Baptist Congregation in Belair, the Chapel was purchased by a prominent Adelaide merchant who used it as his summer residence. The property changed hands, and uses, three times in the following hundred years. In 1964, the owners renovated and restored the property; enclosing the rear with additional rooms to protect the original building. These improvements formed the remainder of the home.
With soaring ceilings, arched windows, and a stone feature wall, this grand space will accommodate your living needs and impart a lasting impression on your guests.
The home itself has been extensively renovated over the years and offers modern convenience.
The open plan living to the rear of the property is serviced by a chef's kitchen with granite bench tops and stainless steel appliances. Café doors open to a decked undercover area with bar, which overlooks leafy, manicured grounds.
A versatile floorplan comprises of three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms – the main with spa bath and separate toilet– and two living areas.
Other features:
• Double garage with automatic door and ample room to store the caravan or boat
• Additional double carport
• 14,000L and 10,000L rainwater tanks connected to the house
• Built-in watering system
• R/C air conditioning
• Gas mains
The property enjoys a central location and is close to the Blackwood Shopping Precinct, public transport, and a number of quality schools including Belair Primary and St John's Grammar.
