- Property Details
The interior or the two-storey property has three spacious rooms upstairs, all have split reverse cycle air conditioners which can be used independently. The upstairs rooms all have sash cord windows from a bygone era however they have all been meticulously maintained in recent years to work as originally intended allowing for the cool afternoon sea breeze to filter through the property during the warmer summer evenings. The rear of these three rooms has its own personal toilet and vanity unit. Upstairs also has your own personal balcony overlooking Loudon Road.
Coming down the historic internal stairway leads to a central room with combustion heater for the cold winters' nights. This room could be a bedroom, office area or storage.
Downstairs, to the rear, has a residential living space in the form of a large open plan kitchen and dining area along with bathroom, toilet and laundry. These were added onto the building in recent years. This area could alternatively be used as a business hub for a future business. This was the hub for hard wired network cabling throughout the building. This also has a split system reverse cycle air-conditioner which adequately cools and warms these rooms.
Downstairs, also, there are two large rooms and one smaller room. (1) Front (2) Side (3) Rear Storeroom. In recent years 1 & 2 were used for retail sales display whilst 3 being a work area. These could easily be converted into game's rooms, bedrooms, work areas, hobby areas or of course returning once again to a retail or commercial use, the sky is the limit. Zones 1 & 2 currently have large areas of their walls covered in high quality slat wall panels which could easily be used for shelving and display. Note:-(included in the sale would be $4,000 worth of miscellaneous shelving, slat wall shelving, slatwall brackets all located in the rear shed). The combined space of areas (1,2 & 3) is reasonably large and how it is developed going forward is only restricted by your capacity to imagine what could be.
A side paved laneway, Just Lane, provides rear and side access to the property. This laneway leads to two covered car parks and two uncovered car parks, all paved. Also to the rear of the property is a shed, 40 feet long x 20 feet wide x 9 feet high. Access is available via Just Lane through the rear carpark area, and it has a large electric roller door.

The shed has an irrigation controller system set up for the keen gardener to add their pots and plants if needed under the pergola or in back yard.
Storm water from the property is directed into five rainwater tanks located to the rear of the property. Total rainwater storage capacity is 22,500 litres. All tanks are interconnected and levelled. A Davey pressure pump is installed to allow the property to be totally independent of SA Water if required at the turn of a tap.
There are two rear personal access gates, both having hard-wired gate chimes to the main living area to notify when visitors or deliveries arrive.
