Last Listing description (February 2016)

Representing astonishing value, this four bedroom solid brick home built Circa 1977 has just so much to offer the astute buyer. Having recently undergone an amazing transformation and only on the market due to unforeseen circumstances, the home will appeal to families, holiday makers and investors alike.
Built on two levels - the upper floor at street level, with entry via the most attractive timber decking leading to the front door. Incorporating a designer kitchen with island bench, which in turn opens out into the north facing, light filled sitting and dining rooms. Windows fill with elevated ocean views taking in a panorama from Encounter Bay down to The Coorong. Sliding glass doors open wide to the rear balcony - being a wonderful spot to sit out at twilight, catch the ocean breeze and watch the sun setting on Granite Island.
There are four bedrooms - or three plus an office - the master with walk through robe and beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. The second 'Vogue' like bathroom - complete with hideaway New York style laundry - caters for the other bedrooms.

Floating timber floors add to the ambience of the living space, whilst the bedrooms are all carpeted.
Split unit reverse cycle air conditioning takes care of the heating/cooling, with a ceiling fan in the dining room. The well-appointed kitchen comes with a 2 drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.
The lower level incorporates a huge garage capable of housing 4 cars. There is a room on this level which has been used as an additional bedroom in the past, of good size with views of the rear garden and access via the back stairs to the balcony above.
The rest of the downstairs space is where so much potential lies - currently a large workshop with two other rooms which could convert to a wine cellar or fabulous storage - another room has been partially plumbed for an additional bathroom.
The grounds are mainly lawn front and back and very easy care - watered by an automatic system fed from a large rainwater tank with pressure pump.
The concrete driveway down one side of the house provides access to the garage and back yard, providing ample room to park either a boat or caravan.
A small paved al fresco area in the bottom corner of the garden completes the beautiful picture of what is a lovely home and more importantly, an incredible opportunity.
Your opportunity - a great value proposition - make sure you seize the day!
