Situated in the most exclusive enclave of Mitcham is "Ocean View", a c1895 sandstone villa residence on some 1,500 square metres of land perfectly placed on the corner of Church Road and St Michaels Road, with the backdrop of the Adelaide foothills.
The sandstone villa, with all the classic, original charm of yesteryear, provides immediate warmth and ambience as you enter the formal entry and central hallway, with leadlight windows, high ceilings and polished timber floorboards. There are four, original light filled main rooms, all with generous proportions coming off the central hallway. A formal sitting room and dining room provide grandeur with open fireplaces and mantelpieces, coupled with splendid outlooks over sprawling lawns and garden, and French door access directly onto the verandah, and deck, overlooking the swimming pool.
A master bedroom, with large walk-in robe and large ensuite bathroom is at the front of the home looking over the front verandah and private front garden. A large second bedroom off the main hallway completes the original section of the residence.
The home is completed with an open plan kitchen and living area, with the most pleasant northerly aspect and garden surrounds. A separate wing off the main living area with a family bathroom and a third bedroom completes the stone structure and sprawling surrounds.
Offered for the first time in 45 years/Hidden behind high walls and returned to the market for the first time in 45 years, the home offers a generational opportunity to modernise and extend, with its wonderful original features, generous proportions, and perfect northern aspect to the rear with superb garden surrounds. There is the opportunity and potential to live comfortably here, in a premium precinct, for the next one, two or five plus years while planning a bespoke, extended family residence.
The sprawling lawns and private garden surrounding the swimming pool can be admired from the deck, which stretches the length of the residence and takes in the park-like setting.
There is garaging and carport for three cars directly off the street.
The location of this offering provides abundant amenity and lifestyle. All of your immediate shopping and entertainment needs can be satiated by the Mitcham Square Shopping Centre & Cinema and The Edinburgh Hotel and Beer Garden is just a short stroll from your front door. Spoilt for nature and the outdoors, there are abundant local reserves and trails, including Brownhill Creek and Mitcham. Schooling options are aplenty, with Scotch College, Mercedes College, Unley High School and Mitcham Primary all in very close proximity, just to name a few. All this within an easy commute to Adelaide City.
