Circa 1880s Character Stone Villa in tranquil setting

One of the 10 oldest houses in Blackwood (identified by Mitcham Council Heritage Centre - BUT NOT HERITAGE LISTED), this sandstone home has provided shelter and nurtured families since 1880.

It was home to artist and photographer Ainslie Roberts (the dreamtime books) in the 1950s-60s, before he built next door.

This character home is full of delightful surprises, from the proportions of the 3 main rooms and entry hall, to the large and easily accessible cellar and adjoining old well, to the walk-up linen cupboard, to the shadehouse adjoining the wall-of-windows dining room.

The internal décor may be 1970s, but there is lots of opportunity to turn this house into a stately home. Its beautifully green garden is surprisingly low in upkeep, and gives the home a genuinely secluded aspect.

The home currently comprises 4 bedrooms, formal living room, dining room, kitchen and sun room/cosy family room. There is a double garage, and a 2nd outdoor toilet.

Ideally located within walking distance to the Blackwood Village precinct for all your shopping and café needs, and only 15 mins to the CBD and 15 mins to the Beach. You are close to all transport and only 8 mins to Flinders University and Medical Centre.
