40 Elizabeth Street

Tanunda SA 5352

This is a home where you can relax and unwind, just a short walk to the Oval, the Apex Bakery and to shops, restaurants and pubs in the main street. Peace and privacy are yours at the quiet end of Elizabeth Street, where a rural view can be enjoyed from the elevated front porch and sheep can be heard bleating in the nearby paddocks on a still morning.
The front porch is wide enough to serve as an outdoor room and is an ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee and a quite read of the paper to start your day.
The front garden has been professionally landscaped and is under irrigation, offering low maintenance with a manicured lawn, formal hedges and heritage brick pathway. The exterior stonework has been repointed and the facade freshly painted in classic colours of white and cream, with new leadlight windows adding to the traditional appeal.
Step inside the white front door of Magpie House and enter the formal lounge, where the high ceiling and light colour scheme is indicative of the spacious feel throughout the home. Newly installed white plantation shutters and plush new grey carpeting sets a tone of Hampton-style quality. Note the gas heating and split system air conditioning.
The bedrooms are all fully carpeted. The large master bedroom has a period ceiling fan, shutters, romantic white drapes and a wall of built-in robes.
The family bathroom is next door, featuring a corner spa tub and traditional tiling.
The second and third bedrooms are of a good size and both include ceiling fans, robes and timber venetians.
The hub of the home is the kitchen, dining and living area at the rear where new timber flooring has been installed to match the original timber flooring in the hallway. Updated with a smart theme of white, grey and black, the kitchen features the original stove alcove but now has a new oven and dishwasher. You will be amazed by the surprising walk-in butlers pantry adjacent the kitchen that abounds with storage space including an under-floor cellar. A breakfast bar overlooks the family area, with an updated laundry and powder room located nearby.
A sliding glass door connects the family area to the paved pergola area and garden. Its ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining because the layout flows so well from the kitchen. Outside the rear garden offers cottage character with old fashioned roses, lavender, rosemary and fruit trees including plum, apple, lime and lemon. The rear lawn is a well-established variety that feels spongy and cool underfoot on a hot day. Your own shady oasis! Plenty of room for children and pets.
At the rear of the block is a sturdy garage, new rotary hoist and a couple of raised vegetable beds tucked away in a sunny spot for home-grown produce.
Recently re-roofed and re-wired with a new switchboard, attention has been paid to the services and connections here to bring this old home comfortably into the modern era.
Natural gas has been installed for convenient heating in the formal lounge room. There is split system air-conditioning in the lounge and kitchen. A new 1600 litre septic system has been installed ready for connection (in addition to the existing septic system) for any future bathroom renovations.
Magpie House is a gem, offering great potential in the heart of Tanunda township.
