HISTORIC FAMILY HOME WITH ENDLESS PERIOD CHARM

4 BEDROOM FAMILY HOME PLUS 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT OFFERING RENTAL POTENTIAL, AIR BNB OPTION OR SPACE FOR EXTENDED FAMILY!

Set in the heart of town on a generous 2,660m2 allotment over two titles, this magnificent dolomite fronted family home has so many stories to tell. Lovingly restored, it is filled with character and charm along with all the luxuries of modern day living.

Originally a 4-acre property, the house was built circa 1868 by businessman John Watson, a prominent figure in Mount Gambier’s early history. Watson’s contributions to the community include being the first mayor of the town with the Watson family continuing to live in the home until 1957. With a rich history and classic period details greeting you at every turn, don’t miss the opportunity to write the next chapter in this home’s story.

From the ornate front garden of camelias, yews and formal hedging you can take in the view of the original decorative lacework and statement dolomite façade. Once inside, you are welcomed by ornate 12-foot ceilings and a formal hallway with views out to the paved Tuscan-style courtyard beyond. Leading off the hallway are three large bedrooms (all with original timber flooring) and the library/study with gas heater.

At the back of the house, the carpeted master bedroom reveals an original fireplace with timber mantle, dressing room with WIRs, tastefully renovated ensuite and separate powder room. The elegant main bathroom offers bath, shower and separate toilet.

The light-filled kitchen with garden views and parquetry flooring provides a 900mm induction cooktop and electric oven as well as ample space for preparing family meals or formal dinners with ease. The kitchen opens onto the two expansive living/dining areas, both with grand high ceilings, ornate period detailing and original marble fireplaces. Sit and enjoy your morning coffee with picturesque garden views through the large bay windows complete with plantation shutters.

Outside, the gorgeous well-established gardens take centre stage, a majestic peppercorn tree waits for exploring kids or a treehouse. The original kitchen fireplace still stands in the back yard creating a rustic entertaining area to gather for afternoon drinks, with plenty of space to relax with family and friends.

Adjoining the home is a 2-bedroom apartment complete with kitchen, bathroom, living area, gorgeous terrace, and separate driveway. Perfect for air BNB, multi-generational families, teenagers, work from home space or rent out for additional income stream
