2 Elizabeth Street, Oakbank, SA 5243

We are thrilled to be presenting this character laden home for sale.

Constructed in the early 1900's the house was occupied by the Oakbank/Balhannah Station Master and owned and conserved by various government bodies until the 1950's. The train no longer passes through the Onkaparinga valley. The old cutting has been turned into the Amy Gillett Bike track - well patronised by locals and visitors alike. You can access this further along the main road towards Woodside and ride to Mt Torrens if you wish.

Lovers of old stone homes will be impressed with the condition of the property, not to mention its deceptive size and its sympathetic architectural extension to be found at the rear. The 934m2 corner location, with the Oakbank Golf Club ground's at the back fence means that there is a sense of space around the home that is often sought after but rarely discovered.

Wander in and meander through the pretty cottage garden with its extensive array of David Austen roses providing a colourful display. Venture inside - this gracious old home will undoubtedly charm you as it has me.

The old solid timber front door with leadlight fanlights leads into the hallway. Be greeted by 13' ceilings and an appealing chandelier. Quality carpet is soft underfoot and in keeping with the style of the home. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are located in this section as is the expansive and gracious lounge room. Heated by a slow combustion fire, (with hot water jacket) this room will accommodate the largest pieces of furniture with ease. Head on through to the country kitchen and adjacent family room. Polished timber floors add a feeling of warmth as does the Jag timber kitchen with its original old range together with modern European stainless steel appliances. The sash windows look out onto a protected timber deck that's bathed in sunlight - most appealing! The family room's fireplace has been converted into a fabulous, well used space for wine storage.

Heading out to the rear, you will discover the updated wet areas, together with the architect designed (Jim Belford) main bedroom, ensuite and an exceptionally alluring conservatory. Stunning Italian floor tiles feature throughout with the addition of ambient, efficient under floor heating. Each room has independent controllers for added effectiveness. It's difficult to choose a favourite room, but I love the way the loft style bedroom overlooks the garden and conservatory.

Mark Barnett - a professional garden designer was engaged to create the rear garden. Granite pavers from Victoria are bordered with Mondo grass. Hellebores grow prolifically together with vibrant Gold Dust plants with their stunning foliage. An established Wisteria vine twists and winds around the pergola. You will discover a myriad of plants that will delight all year round. Larger deciduous trees allow dappled sunlight to filter through the garden creating an oasis for yourself and the native birds during summer. Create your own veggie plot. Move some chickens into the “chook house”.

After 21 years of being the happy custodians of The Station Masters House the current owners are retiring.
They tell me “Our kids have loved living here and so have we”. Call me to discuss when you would like to move in!
