Arguably one of the prettiest houses in Edenhope, and oozing street appeal, is this elegant and spacious 100+ y.o. home on 929 sq m (0.0937 HA ).

Greeted by a manicured front garden with feature Canary Island date palm, and a rose-laden path leading to the front verandah (which faces greenery opposite), you enter, to find yourself in a hallway with beautiful, antique light fitting over head. The front bedrooms are accessed on either side - one being extra large, with decorative OFP with mantelpiece (chimney has been blocked off), ceiling fan, and a large, inbuilt robe. The other bedrooms also have ceiling fans and inbuilt robes with sliding doors. This hallway leads into the sizeable lounge room with powerful split-system above the fireplace, a ceiling fan, and downlights. For an extra-relaxing ambience, turn on the sconces in the evening. In fact, the house is loaded with period features - from the ultra-high ceilings and decorative mouldings, which bestow an atmosphere of opulence, to the wainscoting, ornate architraves and fireplace surround in the lounge room, to the Tudor-like styling of the kitchen, with its fancy shelving brackets, diamond-shaped cut-outs, and matching Gothic-inspired curtain rod finials.

From the lounge, there is an entrance into a mini-hallway (replete with storage space), from which to access the stylish bathroom, and back bedroom, which has a direct external door to the verandah (perfect for family members needing their own independence, or possibly business use S.T.C.A.).

Another extra-wide exit point from the lounge takes you into the rear, formal dining/rumpus room area of the house. You are now in the 'new' section and will love the light and beauty you get from the two big, picture windows overlooking your tranquil, green backyard and the resident and visiting birds, which include colourful parrots and cockatoos. Choose your own use for the versatile additional space. There are TV points in the rumpus area as well as in the lounge, and bedroom robes. So many choices!

Stepping into the large, bright kitchen, you will find a near-new electric stove, Dishlex dishwasher, huge pantry and space for a large fridge. There are heaps of cupboards, shelving and hooks - even room for a 4-seater table and chairs, for casual eating or activities. Direct access to the carport makes for easy transfer of groceries. The kitchen also has a ceiling fan and downlights and the window offers privacy by looking out onto an ivy-covered fence and wild garden.

Out back you'll find shade trees for summer, apple and plum trees, and a stunning, mature paperbark. Kitchen garden beds right outside the backdoor, with herbs, strawberries and room for other favourites, make for easy picking. There is also a water tank with tap. To add to your enjoyment of the backyard, there is a pavillion for entertaining (or playing) under (with side shadecloth for privacy), a raised gazebo for sitting and having a drink on summer evenings, a medium-sized storage shed, and wood store. The roof of the house you'll notice, is quite new, and has quality insulation underneath.

Edenhope is a charming, rural township with all the basic services (groceries/hardware, pub/takeaway, P.O., library, medical/hospital, schools/kinder, churches, petrol/mechanics, pool, with more only 40 mins (Naracoorte) or 60 mins (Horsham) away. The regional cities of Hamilton and Mount Gambier & Vic. and S.A. coasts are an easy day trip also.

Houses of this era are only becoming rarer. Much work has been undertaken to bring the property up to its current condition, but please note, that though lived in and priced and to be sold 'as is', the house would still benefit from some floor and other attention. Also, settlement for this property cannot occur until *after* the adjoining rear property - 48 Edinburgh Road (block with large shed) - is sold. (See other listing for details.) But if you are someone who has an appreciation for period properties and country life, don't miss out on your opportunity to *secure* your own personal Eden, by taking advantage of this amazing opportunity today!*
