227 Commercial Street West,
Mount Gambier 5290, South Australia

Ray White Mt Gambier is pleased to present 227 Commercial Street West, Mount Gambier, for sale. This solid 1950s-built home sits near the Commercial Street/Sutton Avenue roundabout, close to the Mount Gambier Childcare Centre and Mount Gambier High School. Potters Point Lookout and Tenison Woods College are just a short drive, with access into the CBD only moments too.

The home is accessed via a low-maintenance front lawn and displays a deep verandah and a tiled roof. It offers a driveway entry on the right - accessing a carport and garage at the rear of the property.

The front entry leads into a charming central hallway extending from the front to the rear of the home. It features high ceilings with original cornices and character timber floorboards and accesses an updated, front-facing lounge room, immediately to the right.

The lounge is carpeted with soft grey coverings, has large, dual-aspect windows offering natural light and is comforted with a slow-combustion wood fireplace built into the original mantle. A ceiling fan sits within a tasteful ceiling rosette with downlights surrounding it. This spacious room is perfect for relaxing in the evenings and on chilly weekends. It sits opposite bedroom one, which is also front-facing, with large dual-aspect windows for abundant light and a full-width built-in robe.

Bedrooms two and three are opposite each other, directly behind the front-facing rooms. Both are spacious and benefit from large windows, ceiling fans, carpets and neutral-coloured walls.

The central hallway flows past the family bathroom to the kitchen and accesses a study and a laundry room on the left of the house. The study offers a space for work-from-home professionals, and students, while the laundry offers two linen cupboards, a wash trough, and access to a second private toilet.

An updated family bathroom sits behind the third bedroom for convenient access from all other rooms. It has a practical design that includes a double-sink floating vanity with storage and a mirror in the powder room, a shower over bath with a glass shower frame and a toilet in the tiled washroom. The contemporary bathroom is accessed by a character barn door. This rustic feature is replicated in the kitchen ,where the pantry is also accessed by a sliding barn door. This repetition of carefully chosen decor creates a statement and a flow within the centre of the home.

The kitchen sits at the rear, overlooking a sunroom and the garden beyond. The kitchen/diner features a timber and corrugated iron breakfast bar and a stunning brick and iron surround larder - fully operational.

The larder sits beside a stainless-steel electric oven and cooktop, built into timber cabinetry for the best of both culinary worlds. White cabinetry, stone-look worktops and a black brick splashback surround complete the design of the kitchen, and accommodate a double sink overlooking the side garden. Above and below bench cabinetry add to the pantry storage, and there is abundant space for dining.

The full-width sunroom offers an area to enjoy the patio from the comfort of indoors. It is a versatile space for enjoying yoga, hosting guests or creating a green zen garden/atrium or boot room - complete with a built-in coat rack.

The rear garden is accessed via sliding glass doors that overlook a large garden with planter pots, fruit trees and a large shed/workshop with an attached woodshed. The workshop benefits from a private wood fireplace for ultimate man shed (or doghouse) comfort.

This is a character-packed, three-bedroom home with lots of versatility for buyers and investors looking for rental income. A rental appraisal shows a generous return, and with low maintenance grounds - this could be a fantastic opportunity to acquire that first property. First homeowners will also be attracted by what's on offer - and with a large allotment, inquire about the possibility of extending (STCA).
