Tanunda is often referred to as the jewel in the Barossa Valleys crown, particularly when it comes to character filled older homes. These properties are very tightly held, so when the opportunity arises, it is best to act fast.
This fabulous C1910, return verandah Villa is no exception. Situated just a short stroll from the restaurants, cafs and shops of Tanundas main street, and only a few hundred metres from the primary school and town oval.
All of the features you would expect in a home of this era are here in abundance; with high ceilings, wide hallway, polished timber flooring, beautiful leadlight, pressed metal ceilings, open fireplaces, and the list goes on. Wooden French doors open onto the wide verandahs and give access to the secluded & romantic spa.
The modern amenities have not been overlooked though. The beautifully tiled ensuite, bathroom, toilet & laundry have been spared no expense with floor to ceiling tiles, heated towel rail, corner bath and stunning basin. The kitchen is only a few months old and positively glows. There is plenty of cupboard space with soft close drawers, a dishwasher, gas cook top, electric wall oven, granite bench top and separate wine fridge. Which of course compliments the all important wine cellar, complete with wine racks but unfortunately no wine. In this beautiful region though, what better excuse to explore if you are new to the area, or visit your favourite wineries if already a local, than to fill the cellar.
Three generous sized bedrooms, study or fourth bedroom, separate lounge, meals and family room with slow combustion heater make this house very suitable for the large family. The impressive light fittings, wooden Venetians and quality fixtures throughout this notable home must be seen to be fully appreciated.
True to the era of this home are the abundant fruit trees, orange, lemon, lime, plum, apricot, peach, almond, mandarin, quince and a beautiful old walnut tree. There is a fully reticulated watering system in this stunning garden of old roses, trees and small lawn area.
When the hot summer months return, the pergola and gazebos offer plenty of shade and loads of outdoor living for entertaining family and friends. The in-ground solar heated pool will also be a huge hit when its time to cool off.
Currently the home offers the private accommodation as well as operating as a very successful B&B. The privacy of guests is paramount to the current owners with separate entrances, kitchenette, seating on the wide verandahs, secluded setting for the spa and old world, charming gardens.
Truly one of the Barossas iconic homes.
