Colton House - Exquisite, Character & Charm
'Colton House' was constructed by Sir John Colton (former premier of SA) for his niece circa 1890. History and charm are featured throughout this magnificent home situated on a generous 2121m2 allotment. The home offers flexibility to 4 bedrooms, a separate studio/office, and the convenience of a 30-second walk into the township of Aldgate. You will not be left disappointed!
You'll appreciate the heightened 13ft ceilings, complimented with original polished baltic pine flooring and fresh paint. Careful attention to detail has been adopted throughout the renovated bathrooms and kitchen, creating the perfect blend of modern whilst emphasizing the age and character of the home. The country-style kitchen features Blackwood cupboards, Caesarstone benchtop, slate flooring, Bosch plus Fisher & Paykel appliances.
Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with floor-to-ceiling tiles, underfloor heating, and timber ceilings. The master bathroom offers a large bathtub, stylish vanity, and generous-sized showerhead. The ensuite bathroom oozing with character has his/hers stone basins and backs onto the original pointed stonework. The executive ensuite living area also offers plantation shutters and a sitting space. The ensuite also connects to a room suitable for a nursery or study.
Two dedicated living areas consist of a formal lounge and dining/living area. These areas feature cosy granite fireplaces and create peaceful areas to sit back and enjoy. There are not only fireplaces and slow combustions around the home, but there is also ducted reverse cycle air conditioning for those warm days.
The bullnose verandah spans around the majority of the house and creates a perfect place of serenity as you are encapsulated around the established garden. Sit back and listen to the creek run. While sitting back and relaxing, the children can enjoy exploring through plants and the creek.
