The home:

Set on an expansive 9,816sqm allotment (about 2.5 acres), this enchanting stone homestead blends the romantic charm of a bygone era with the comfort, space and flexibility required for modern family life.

Framed by a classic bullnose verandah with delicate lacework, the home immediately evokes warmth, history and a sense of arrival.

You can also enjoy complete serenity with no nearby neighbours, offering total peace and uninterrupted country quiet.

Step through the front door and you're welcomed into a traditional hallway with floating timber floors, pendant lighting and timber dado rails, all of which is a beautiful reminder of the home's period pedigree.

Fresh paint and plush new carpet elevate the interiors, while soaring ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, decorative cornices and elegant drapes create a refined atmosphere throughout the three spacious bedrooms.

The master suite is an impressive retreat, complete with built-in robes, Hollywood-style dressing table, multiple pendant lights, ceiling fan and direct access to the luxurious two-way bathroom.

Fully tiled from floor to ceiling, the renovated, contemporary bathroom boasts a deep soaking bath with storage niche, frameless walk-in shower with rain showerhead and storage niche, a wall-hung vanity and a separate toilet.

This is a home that pays homage to its past but does not hold back on delivering on the features that make living today far more luxurious.

The kitchen is a standout feature of the home, with a vast, country-style timber space delivering abundant storage, glass-fronted display cabinetry, stainless steel wall oven, a striking brick arch servery window and a huge walk-in pantry.

The kitchen flows effortlessly to the formal dining room, which is warmed by a slow-combustion wood fire, and further transitions into a light-filled family room with split-system heating and cooling.

Plush carpet is underfoot in the family room, which is an ideal hub for enjoying a relaxed family lifestyle or entertaining guests.

A second living area with timber look tiles and carpeted flooring provides additional versatility and could be used as a home theatre, while a designated study nook, complete with built-in storage and desk, creates an ideal home office.

Overlooking the secure backyard, an expansive, undercover alfresco area offers year-round enjoyment and the perfect vantage point to watch children and pets play freely across the property's fully fenced backyard.

For those seeking space for hobbies, vehicles or work, the shedding is exceptional.

A double garage with automatic roller door and skylights is sure to impress as it flows on through glass sliding doors to the ultimate man cave, which comes complete with split-system heating and cooling, toilet facilities and an enclosed workshop.

This provides endless options for trades, collectors or teenagers craving their own retreat.

A separate single, brick garage, sundry shedding and extensive hardstand and off-street parking complete this captivating Moorak property where character, comfort and country serenity awaits just minutes from Mount Gambier.
