Fittingly placed in the charming heart of town and built C1910 by and for then-mayor James Bell; you could say this grand 'arts and crafts' villa is tightly woven into the rich tapestry of Strathalbyn's history.
It's a story that makes 'Bellevue' look and feel as special as the history books say it is on a boundless parcel with cottage gardens and a view over the picturesque Angas River.
Sandstone adorns every side of this substantial solar-powered home featuring a sweeping return verandah and beautifully preserved original features within.
Soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, prominent architraves, fireplaces and big light-filled rooms define its distinct post-Victorian, pre-Art Deco era.
Meanwhile, its versatile floorplan - comprising multiple casual and formal entertaining zones, double bedrooms, sitting rooms, an office and a gorgeous country kitchen - stands up to today's family demands.
With beautiful olive green cabinetry, gas cooking, dishwasher and storage high and low, the eat-in kitchen is timeless in form and contemporary in function.
The point is; for all of its old world charm, 'Bellevue' - boasting 3-phase power, 3.5KW solar system and efficient split r/c - is far from lost in the past. You've found the one .
