Strathalbyn SA 5255

The original section of this magnificent stone home was built in 1890 and recently carefully restored and extended in the same style. The extensive grounds of 5.11 hectares (12.6 acres) is located on the edge of Strathalbyn off the Callington Road and bordered by the Polo Grounds and the Steam Ranger railway line. Burnside Croft is located within the 50 km zone and close to all amenities yet still privately secluded in a park like setting. Burnside Croft really is a 'Hidden Treasure and is arguably the last large rural acreage within the township of historic Strathalbyn. Within walking distance of two schools and shopping precinct this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a country lifestyle within the township.
The main entrance through double timber doors with an arched attractive stained glass window beckons the visitor. Once inside the fully insulated stone home we find four good size bedrooms, three are air conditioned with reverse cycle units and/or ceiling fans, the 4th has cooling only and the main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom & walk in robe. The ceilings are high and the living area with its slate floor has a mezzanine loft with a bedroom and large sitting/office area which is reached via a timber staircase. Polished timber floors extend throughout the home from the living area. The reverse cycle air conditioned living area opens through a double set of glass doors out to an extensive covered entertaining area which overlooks a magnificent panorama of the grounds. A brand new modern kitchen with a breakfast bar, electric cooktop, large cupboard space, pantry and dishwasher separates the lounge from the dining room. The dining room has a wood combustion heater.
Rainwater is plumbed in from a capacity of 60,000 litres as well as mains water supply as backup and watering the grounds via twelve taps (one is rainwater). A 4.9kw solar system with 27 panels returns power to the grid.
