1 Waterhouse Road, South Plympton, SA 5038

Entertainers take note: This fastidiously maintained return verandah villa was the original homestead in South Plympton, servicing the local area with milk farmed from their own pastures. Fast forward to 2009 and this quality built home has undergone an amazing transformation that retains all of the character features whilst adding modern touches. The original façade remains, as do the ornate fireplaces, pressed tin ceilings and decorative cornices, along with all of the original timberwork and polished Baltic pine floorboards.

The main bedroom has been extensively enlarged with the addition of a parent's retreat/study and ensuite bathroom in heritage styling, as is the main bathroom. Both of the other bedrooms have retained the original ornate fireplaces and are of generous proportions. The lounge room takes advantage of the return verandah access and is lavish in both size and decoration.

Toward the rear of the home there is more accent on an open plan feel, with a delightful galley style natural timber kitchen, light-filled atrium style meals area and an informal living area with reverse cycle split system airconditioning AND a near-new, safety compliant wood combustion heater. In addition there is the original cellar - still available for use as a store room or wine cellar.

The informal meals area then opens onto an expansive paved outdoor entertaining area that takes advantage of the northerly aspect with a wonderful, leafy glory vine covered barbecue and outdoor dining zone.

The grounds are well established, very private and meticulously maintained, with plenty of good fruit trees (one espaliered) and other heritage favorites. Two garden sheds are provided - one for cut firewood and another for garden tools. Parking is available undercover for 2 cars via a side-street accessed, auto door double side-by-side carport, with an additional street access for a trailer or boat.

With so much to offer, in an up & coming suburb so close to major shopping, bus and train routes and schools, this is an opportunity of a lifetime!
