A Landmark Home with a Future to Match
Set behind what is quite possibly one of Mount Barker's most admired gardens, this captivating character home (circa 1870's) sits proudly on a remarkable 1,278sqm allotment, offering not only a home filled with warmth and history, but also an exciting opportunity for the future with subdivision potential (STCC).
The approach alone is something special. Roses spill through the garden beds, citrus and stone fruit trees promise seasonal harvests, and a magnificent feature tree stands watch over the front yard. It's the kind of garden that has clearly been nurtured over many years - a true labour of love, and one that creates an immediate sense of charm and welcome.
Step inside and the home continues to reveal its character. High ceilings, generous rooms and thoughtful touches speak to a time when homes were built with heart and intention.
Four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, three with built-in wardrobes, while the large country kitchen with walk-in pantry forms the natural gathering place of the home. From here, the living spaces unfold easily, a family room and dining area for everyday living, and a separate lounge or formal dining room anchored by an open fireplace, the perfect setting for cosy winter evenings.
The bathroom is both elegant and spacious, featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles, a large double shower, bath and a beautiful stained-glass window that filters soft light into the space.
Out the back, a wide verandah overlooks the expansive lawn and gardens, inviting long afternoons outdoors, children playing under the trees, or simply a quiet morning coffee surrounded by greenery.
Yet beyond the beauty of the home itself lies something increasingly rare - space and possibility in the heart of town.
With its substantial 1,278sqm allotment, the property offers exciting subdivision potential (STCC - zoned Urban Activity Centre (Z6301) - UAC - refer to realcommercial.com.au listing), presenting buyers with the chance to secure a charming piece of Mount Barker's history while also exploring the potential commercial zoning to unlock future value.
The prime central location only adds to its versatility. With excellent exposure and accessibility, the property could also lend itself to a variety of alternative uses (STCC), including professional consulting rooms, boutique offices or retail ventures.
Additional features include:
• Rainwater tanks
• 7m x 6m garage with roller door
• 7m x 4m carport (3.5m clearance)
• 7m x 6m pergola
• Timber pergola entertaining area
Properties like this rarely come along, a home where history, beauty and opportunity exist side by side.
Whether you choose to preserve its charm, enjoy the incredible garden setting, explore subdivision potential, or create something entirely new with commercial prospects, 11 Mann Street offers a future as exciting as its past.
