This absolutely undeniably unique character residence in the heart of picturesque Auburn, is just under 90 minutes from Adelaide, and 8 mins from the gastronomic capital of the Clare Valley, Watervale.
A plethora of options are available here, with a desirable and highly flexible floorplan, which would allow for the property to be used as a full time residence, or air bnb, or mixed use with working and living from home, with options such as gallery or showroom also being possible options, with plenty of passing traffic (although with the thick stone walls, once inside it's whisper quiet!).
This landmark residence has enjoyed use over the years as a general store, as well as being a store for wheat and flour. The superb preservation of the exterior of the residence, with its thick stone and original advertising painted on the southern wall, belies the modern interior, which is thoughtfully designed for plenty of different buyer scenarios. Inside there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The master bedroom suite on the mezzanine floor is currently open plan (which could easily be contained if desired), with an ensuite featuring both corner shower and a large claw foot bath. On the same level is a secluded living area, the perfect place to curl up with a glass of wine whilst you browse books or ephemera from your library.
Three other rooms downstairs can also be used as bedrooms.The kitchen at the rear of the home will delight any cook, with its recently renovated kitchen with Smeg oven and a corner, spacious pantry. On the other side of the French doors, the perfection and simplicity of this room with its original stone walls and Mintaro slate floors, with its North facing windows, must be seen to be believed. What an ideal room for entertaining family and friends all year round.
Outside, the garden is beautiful, and delightfully low maintenance. Featuring a rotunda, as well as its own labyrinth, vegetable plot with wicking beds and room for chickens if you wish, it's private but easily accessible and is designed to showcase the beautiful heritage building in all its glory. With so many buyers desiring a character residence but without the hassle of the renovation, this property will be a most appealing option.
