685 Grange Road Grange SA 5022

This Grand old dame has been admired by local residents since the early1900’s and what a treasure she is. Beautifully elevated and set on a 670 square metre allotment, Buckland is the epitome of seaside elegance and just metres to the crystal-clear waters of St Vincents Gulf.

This home is literally rock solid and made of thick stone blocks that act as the perfect barrier to any passing sounds. Once you step inside, not only will you be mesmerised by the sheer size and elaborate character, you will also feel like you could be anywhere. Some may unwisely dismiss this one for the location, but I can assure you, that would be a mistake. The astute buyer will appreciate the grandness and splendour of this home, and by making a few cosmetic changes, will delight in making it their own.

This is a substantial home with an internal footprint of 270 square metres. Buckland is associated with the earliest residential development of Grange following the subdivision of land in 1878. The home is listed under Local Heritage which means the external walls of the original building and the two chimneys need to be maintained. The original dwelling has enjoyed many upgrades and additions over the years. The extended areas of the original home are the conservatory on the western side with a corridor leading to a bathroom, storeroom, laundry, and on the northern side, a dining room, wine room and adjacent bathroom has been added.

The home consists of eight main rooms and subsidiary rooms. It potentially can provide four bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room, wine room, large eat in kitchen, large formal lounge with a hearty gas log fire, a sun filled large conservatory, storeroom and laundry.

The current owner enjoys every room in her own unique way and loves to entertain guests for lavish lunches in the vine covered alfresco courtyard garden. There are two external eating areas outside, one undercover, the other in an open area. There are gardens on all sides of the property and there is always potential to open up the outdoor areas to make it your own for children to play, families to entertain and you could even put a pool in, if you so desire.

Features include, 3.6-metre-high ceilings, ornate plaster work, a selection of stained-glass windows and doors, original pine flooring, original fire places, roaring gas log fire with a marble surround and a lovely wide entry hallway with a stunning archway centre stage.

Beautiful additions are 24 solar panels and battery, ducted heating and cooling, new fencing and veranda, rewired throughout, new plumbing for kitchen and bathroom, new roof, five olive trees and a home that is rock solid.

Currently there is one, auto door, undercover car space with potential for more off-street parking if required. I look forward to showing you through this iconic home.
