Kingscote 32 Franklin Street

Rare and unique, this historic settler cottage, circa 1903, has been fully renovated offering amazing charm and character.

The cottage has been diligently cared and presents in immaculate condition.

The historic value in the title's ownership notations makes for interesting reading and reflects past owners of the cottage highlighting historic and long standing Kangaroo Island families have stemmed from the then 'original and compact 2 bedroom stone walls'. A thread of internal family ownership has seen the cottage denied from presenting to the open market since 1956, an opportunity now afforded to the next astute purchaser.

Crafted from a combination of local limestone and timbers, these natural features have created a warm and inviting ambiance with the neutral colour selections crisp and clean to enhance the features of this charming residence. More recently and extension which is accessed via a covered breezeway has seen 2 more bedrooms and bathroom added to expand the overall floor space.

Benefits of the property also include slow combustion wood fire and reverse cycle split system air conditioning and undercover carport for the car.

There are two outdoor leisure areas to enjoy a BBQ with family and friends. Lockup shedding by way of two sheds, one 6m x 6m, the other 9m x 9m, are accessible through the carport. Boats, trailers and second vehicles can easily be locked away in the rear yard.

Ideal as a permanent home to live in or rental investment, be it permanent rental or holiday rental.

Kangaroo Island Council has the property zoned as 'Township Mainstreet' allowing for a mix of uses including business and retail activities, and is ideal for those looking to work from home in this Covid affected world.
