Sylvan Park Homestead ~ 1 Acre
Built by Thomas Colton in 1858, historic Sylvan Park is one of the original homesteads established in McLaren Vale. Located at the heart of the township, you can still walk the original olive tree lined driveway of Sylvan Park which runs through a public reserve from the main street to the existing boundary of the property, vehicle access to the property is now gained via Abbott Avenue. Comprising one acre, the Sylvan Park grounds are very private and boast glorious treed gardens, a sparkling in-ground pool, grass tennis court and an adjoining summer house, truly an entertaining dream.
The homestead is finished with Australian western red cedar timbers and baltic pine floors, you enter via a wide entrance hall from which you access four substantial rooms, each featuring it's very own fireplace, external French doors and ornate 14'' ceilings that have been meticulously hand painted with amazing detail. At the rear of the property there is an additional bedroom, office, rumpus room and kitchen which has recently been renovated, finished with solid timber and granite bench tops, there is also a substantial cellar for the wine connoisseur. The wet areas are in need of some work, they are functional but it is likely the new owner will want to complete some updating / renovations in this area.
