8 Burke St, Victor Harbor is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 4 parking spaces and was built in 1920. The property has a land size of 990m2 and floor size of 207m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last transferred in July 2021.
Magnificently restored with an extraordinary eye for detail, this glorious Circa 1920 Californian Bungalow will not disappoint. From the picket fence to the front door, you can sense you are in for something special! A wide welcoming entrance hall welcomes you into the home, here you will immediately notice the beautifully sanded and sealed Baltic Pine floorboards, lift your gaze and be taken by the lovely fretwork, high ceilings, cornicing and ceiling rose - truly a statement of what is to follow.
The residence is disposed to nine main rooms and can be arranged to suit - five bedrooms and two living - or four bedrooms and three. The master bedroom has beautiful sash windows, central fireplace, built-in robe, beautiful cornicing, picture rails and ceiling rose. The second bedroom is currently used as another sitting room - again with gorgeous double sash window, beautiful cornicing and ceiling rose, fireplace with bookshelf to one side and high skirting boards (which are found throughout the home). Bedroom three has built-in robes, while bedroom four does not. The fifth bedroom would also make an ideal home office.
The sitting room is magnificent - a light and bright room which captures the winter sun - again the features keep coming - a gorgeous domed ceiling rose, picture rails, beautiful double sash window and slow combustion fire. From here you enter the simply stunning gourmet French provincial kitchen. Taking centre stage you will find the imported Falcon Elan classic oven (6 burner gas cooktop, 2 woks and 2 ovens), Miele integrated dishwasher, soft-close cabinetry, granite benchtops, Mayfair of London tapware and double butlers sink. From the kitchen you enter the dining room - beautiful display cabinetry (matching the kitchen) is found either side of the central fireplace with mantelpiece.
The entrance hall and central passageway link all the rooms throughout the home and leads to the family room found at the back of the house - a room you can also enter from the dining room. The magnificent polished Baltic Pine boards are found right throughout the home, with the exception of the family room and bathrooms. The bathroom is beautifully tiled, with luxury fittings including a full size bath, large shower alcove, vanity and wc. There is a similarly tiled and appointed powder room for guests.
The family room opens out onto a covered back patio/deck - the perfect spot for the family barbecue. Meandering brick paved pathways are a lovely feature, dissecting the easy care lawn in the backyard. An arborist has recently shaped the magnificent 90 year old macadamia tree as well as a pear tree of the same vintage. Other fruit trees include apple, lemon and mandarin. On one side of the home you will find a wide gravel driveway with plenty of room to park either a caravan or boat - if not both! The two car garage is at the rear of the property and has access to Torrens Lane. The garage has two automatic roller doors and comes with a workshop area and an additional very handy storeroom.
Should all of this not be enough you will soon discover the fully self-contained guest retreat also located at the rear of the property (a gate providing access to Torrens Lane). The cute retreat is open plan - currently disposed to a games room with a kitchen (gas hotplate and wall oven), bathroom/laundry (shower, vanity and wc) and bedroom. From here guests can come and go as they please and they have everything they need for self-contained living.
Additional features include ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning in the Bungalow and a reverse cycle split in the guest retreat. The ceilings are well insulated, with a 3.3 KW solar system - the home is connected to the NBN. The property has two Certificates of Title with a combined area of approximately 965m2.
The location is equally amazing - found in central Victor Harbor, you can walk to everything from here - shops, cafes and restaurants, medical facilities, local markets, beaches and the Causeway with its horse drawn tram, linking the township to Granite Island.
Sometimes a home is lucky enough to find someone to love it and to restore it to such a high level, that it will enrich the lives of those lucky enough to live in it in the future, as well as adding to the charm and character of the town in which you find it. This is one such home!
