Like something from a period movie set in the Southern States of America, this 1880’s solid plaster, two storey homestead is indeed unique and offers a very real alternative to the typical contemporary Mosgiel abode. With five bedrooms upstairs, two of these with ensuites and consisting of four doubles and one single, there is plenty of room for a growing family or flatmates. In addition to these two large bedrooms with ensuites on the top floor, the main bathroom is placed at the top of the first flight of stairs, before the second flight and has a toilet, shower over bath and very smart, dual pedestal basins. The bottom level is where the living really begins and there is plenty of it here with two large lounge rooms, both with heat pumps, and open plan kitchen dining living space on the adjacent side of the home. The kitchen has been modernized with island bench, Delonghi 900mm five burner gas hob and side access to sunny deck for those balmy autumn evening drinks and nibbles. Out the back is the laundry and service area and that fourth toilet.
This home oozes character, grandeur and yesteryear charm, but this is embellished even further with lots of modern conveniences including the heat pumps, a beast of a Gillies multi fuel burner and modern kitchen and gas hot water heating.
Outside, the section is a clean and relatively blank canvas which awaits the artistry of a green fingered wizard or the marker pegs of a surveyor to create another building site, but whatever your wish for the destiny of this enchanting property, make it happen with a visit this Sunday to the scheduled open home. Offers will be considered early next week, so do not delay. Take a visit to the Southern states this weekend and let the kids have a go on the swing which hangs from the grand old Walnut tree which stands sentry at the front gate.
