12 Racecourse Crescent, Glenburnie, SA 5291 Classic Charm meets Modern Lifestyle

Proudly perched in an elevated position that overlooks the Glenburnie Racecourse and surrounding countryside just east of Mount Gambier, 12 Racecourse Crescent offers a home with the classic charm and heritage of yesteryear that meets the modern conveniences and comfortable living of today. Tastefully renovated, neutrally styled and packed with appealing features, it is sure to impress a broad range of buyers - upsizers, downsizers, relocating or repositioning, an inspection is a must to truly appreciate.

Built as the original racecourse caretakers' residence in approx. 1901, the property now provides a beautiful character contrast against the modern homes it now resides beside, in a private and exclusive development of just 7 allotments. Entering the property via the hotmixed driveway, the chapel style fa?ade of the main dwelling at the front is framed by an established formal garden, with a large pad and 3-bay high clearance shed offering ample parking for residents and guests alike, ideal for larger families or those that love to entertain at home.

At the front of the home, the master bedroom offers a comfortably carpeted space with ceiling fan, built in wardrobes plus a walk thru robe, leading to the added ensuite with walk in shower, vanity and toilet. Opposite the master via the central passage, bedrooms 2 and 3 both include built in robes and ceiling fans as well, with the ceiling roses, feature cornicing and 10ft ceilings all contributing towards the heritage of the property. Completing what may have been the "original" footprint of the home, the updated main bathroom includes a large walk-in shower, floating vanity, toilet and heated towel rack.

An expansive extension at the rear of the home does not lack in quality to match the original heritage of the home, with ceiling roses, cornicing and high-quality cabinetry continued throughout - the open plan kitchen, dining and living space takes in stunning views of the surrounding countryside whilst providing a homely yet spacious area to entertain, spilling out to a weatherproof alfresco with a north westerly aspect and zip track blinds. The kitchen offers ample storage with soft close cabinetry in a modern and neutral tone, electric cooking and a dishwasher, with the convenience of a central island and bar seating. Living areas are kept comfortable all year round with reverse cycle heating and cooling, ceiling fan and feature gas fireplace, with large tinted and double-glazed west facing windows offering a scenic view of the rear yards, rolling countryside and even the Centenary Tower of Mount Gambier in the distance.

Alongside the dining area, the versatile floorplan offers a space that can be used as a 4th bedroom or guest, office or sewing room, with a European style laundry behind bi-fold doors, plenty of additional storage and its own reverse cycle unit too - an ideal space for a teenagers retreat or hobbyist. Further to this, another storage/office/mudroom provides direct access from the rear yard.

External to the home, established and irrigated gardens have been lovingly cared for and curated to entice those with a green thumb - raised veggie patches, fruit trees, hedges and colour filled garden beds complete a property that is perfect for those seeking a lifestyle change where the hard work has already been done for you! A private and sheltered pergola separate to the elevated alfresco offers a great space both for entertaining or as a greenhouse and arbory of sorts.

Extensive shedding includes a high clearance 9m x 7m shed with concrete floors and ample power at the front of the property, plus an additional 6m x 7m shed at the rear of the property for further storage or workshop space, also with concrete floors.

Services to the property include mains water, septic sewer, electric hot water service with water softener, and a large, bottled gas supply for the feature fireplace, plus bayonet attachments for BBQ and heating in the alfresco space.

A tastefully renovated, heritage home that offers a stunning rural aspect only minutes from the CBD of Mount Gambier that you're sure to fall in love with - contact Alistair to arrange your viewing today and don't miss out.
