The historic features of this stunning corner property have been so well executed that the ambience created feels like stepping back in time, from the pale, wide Baltic pine flooring to the stunning French-style parterre garden, which the owners lovingly created. Yet the infrastructure at this home is up-to-the-minute, which means you can enjoy everything about the character of the 1880 built home, without compromising on creature comforts or modern technology. Adrian Miller welcomes you to 29 Coghill Street, Kapunda.
Situated on an approximate 2020m2 corner allotment, right in the heart of Kapunda, the property offers the perfect marriage of charm and practicality, with an extensive rainwater tank system and impressive solar power just two of the signature features bound to impress. The owners have capacity for about 65,000 litres of water, which is not only plumbed to the house and put through two filtration systems but used for the irrigation set up as well.
Consider this alongside the 6.5 kw solar power and water system, with 12 gel batteries for storage and a hybrid, back-to-grid system and you'll see there's more to this beautiful home than meets the eye. The solar panels have even been thoughtfully sited in a double valley on the roof, so the ambience of the period-style home isn't affected. Talk about having the details covered.
When it comes to the character details, history buffs are sure to be happy, with heritage-style tiles on the covered front porch opening to wide Baltic pine floorboards that add an instant warmth to homes of this era. The master bedroom is to the left of the entry, with a wood fire and gorgeous mantle. In truth, the owners tend to use the ducted reverse cycle air conditioning rather than the fire in this room - but that doesn't make it any less attractive. High ceilings and a beautiful ceiling rose above the fan light also draw your eyes upward.
Across the hallway, the classic black wall in the second bedroom was chosen by the owners' daughter in a nod to Audrey Hepburn and it certainly looks the part, complemented by a modern style chandelier. If you have a teenage daughter, odds are she'll be moving into this room.
Bedroom three has the benefit of an adjoining home office (and it has served for this purpose) but the owners were contemplating turning this space into a walk-in-robe. If you have a uni student or older high school student in residence, then this would be a great private study space away from the noise of the family. There is a possible fourth bedroom, or rumpus/sunroom, off the main living room - and this has external access. If you run a home-based business, then this room could serve you well. Thanks to extensive windows, it has an almost conservatory feel to it.
The main living room has a combustion wood heater - and yes this one does get used, as does the fellow combustion heater in the eat-in-kitchen. Jarrah floorboards offer a darker timber in the main living room than in other areas of the house and again because of the high ceilings the room feels grand yet inviting at the same time.
While the owners say guests tend to gather in the kitchen at the table or on the sofa by the fire, there is a formal dining room, and this one has an in-built wall cabinet, currently used as a bar. While it may not be large enough to house your wine collection, you'll be able to do that in the separate cellar - but your decanters, whisky tumblers and port glasses will be right at home.
The brick surrounds of the fireplace in the kitchen are a rustic, beautiful feature, while the big freestanding Blanco cooker has a gas cook top and there's also an impressive rangehood as well. Resemblant of a farmhouse kitchen, the subway tiles and warm white cabinetry suits the era of the home, while the extensive cupboards help you store all the accoutrements of the modern cook. There's a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher too.
With extensive updates over the past 11 years, there's no doubt these owners did their homework before the fit out was done, and the finish both with design and infrastructure is a testament to their love for the property. Even the bathroom and laundry have been updated in a similar vein to the kitchen, while the outdoor mini wine cellar has steam punk style shelving designed by the owner.
Elsewhere on the property there's a fire pit area, chook house (BYO chooks) a double shed of approximate 9m x 6m dimensions, an adjoining workshop and not surprisingly, a woodshed. Fully fenced for kids and the family pets, one side of the garden has been dedicated to produce, with four different types of grapes, along with peaches, apples, mandarins, fig, ruby grapefruit, apricots, plum, lemon, lime, a bay tree and even olives which the owners have previously bottled.
