EXPRESSION OF INTEREST BY 12PM FRIDAY 28TH APRIL (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR)
Ray White Mt Gambier is pleased to present 1 Gwendoline Street, Mount Gambier, for sale.
This historically significant, stunning four-bedroom family home was built with meticulous attention to detail by the Knight Brothers in 1930. The spectacular construction and craftsmanship brought a distinct character to the family home that continues to charm today. Features such as the stone pillar entry and spacious verandah, high ceilings and unique leadlight window designs represent the era.
The house is located conveniently close to the Railway Lands walking trail, the brand-new Wulunda Recreation Centre, Reidy Park Primary School, with the centre of Mount Gambier just a five minute walk away. This home is ideal for a growing family with many nearby amenities and access to community groups.
A stunning stained glass window entry opens into a gorgeous foyer with high-gloss timber floors and high, ornately decorated ceilings. Two front-facing double bedrooms sit on either side of the entrance. Both are carpeted for comfort, with one offering a fireplace with mantle surround and the other a large built-in robe.
Stepping down from the entrance foyer into the main living area is something that has to be seen to truly admire. The central lounge and dining room have a stunning European ceiling with intricate details and an elaborate chandelier. There is a gorgeous wood fire with a complete mantle surround and reverse cycle air conditioning for ultimate comfort. Stunning leadlight doors lead from the lounge into the sunroom that overlooks the pergola. The family bathroom sits off the lounge with an updated 1930s atmosphere.
A home study or nursery with a built-in bookshelf sits directly behind the front right bedroom adjacent to an impressive master bedroom with a huge array of features. This stunning room offers an enormous walk-in robe split into two sections separated by a toilet/washroom accessed from the pergola. The generously sized ensuite is a statement. It offers a bath, checkerboard-style floor tiles and a gorgeous timber and leadlight vanity with an updated basin that perfectly complements the original design.
A stunning set of stairs crafted from a historic Port MacDonnell shipwreck lead from the main living area down into a media room, formal lounge, rumpus or fifth bedroom if desired. It offers built-in bookshelves, a media nook and has soft pendant lighting in addition to natural light.
The kitchen and casual dining area are also accessed from the lounge, providing an exquisite food preparation and communal family space. The kitchen boasts gorgeous timber cabinetry and a sink set under a leadlight feature window - a striking addition to the home. The main cooking area offers a stand-alone oven and gas cooktop with pressed metal splashback, a pantry and plenty of workspace and storage.
A spacious laundry room sits behind the kitchen and adjacent to the sunroom. It offers a built-in double trough and overlooks the enormous outdoor entertaining area, which is a colossal extension of the home.
This impressive space offers a concrete floor pergola that features pendant lighting above the dining space and gorgeous bamboo and timber bar with a lighting feature.
The garden offers a beautiful fire pit area with stone benches and established garden plots. A secure double-door garage sits at the rear with space for cars, a caravan or boat and a workshop with 15amp power.
The magnificent home has the additional benefit of a separate granny flat / studio accessed from the secure carport. It offers a large, air-conditioned workshop with two different storage rooms. This would be the ideal location for a family business, art studio or yoga space (S.T.C.A).
