Take a seat in the heart of Mount Barker and discover the story of this C.1850's stone cottage – one of the township's earliest homes, completely reborn in 2025 for modern living. Set on a prominent corner allotment, this four-bedroom residence balances heritage, comfort and flexibility with ease.
Inside, old and new sit comfortably together – thick stone walls, fireplaces that retain their charm, and a layout shaped for today's lifestyle. Bedrooms feature fresh hardwood floors, new carpets, ceiling fans and smart storage, with the fourth easily adapting as a study or home office.
At the centre, the kitchen makes its mark. A refined Noir design flows throughout, combining a two-tone palette with marble benchtops and splashbacks, dual pyrolytic ovens, induction cooktop, dishwasher, and a sweeping island bench. An arched entry connects to a walk-in larder, designed for both food preparation and as a designated servery bench.
The living room is made for family time, anchored by its original fireplace and supported by zoned reverse-cycle ducted air conditioning. Bathrooms elevate the everyday, effortlessly combining modern and heritage design, with a freestanding bathtub for unwinding in at the end of a busy day.
Entertaining is easy under the undercover pergola – a private year-round space where barbecues and long lunches roll into evenings. Recently repainted inside and out, the home's character continues into this sheltered alfresco zone.
For the connoisseurs, a wine cellar lies below, also offering valuable additional storage space. The garage is wider than standard, providing scope to incorporate shed-style functionality, with the option to fit and enclose along the entire garage wall – adding even more versatility to the property, while the option to separate the office wing adds versatility – ideal for extended family, guests, or Airbnb income potential in this walkable township setting.
