Ask yourself this, how often does an opportunity such as this present itself? Do you fancy owning a rare & valuable piece of South Australian History? The Team at Jump Property are excited to bring to market this beautifully presented and positioned historic home in Mitcham Village. Originally built during Queen Victoria's reign in 1883 as the first Mitcham Post Office, this property is now a private residence and could be a sensational bed & breakfast (s.t.c.c) Retaining many character features, the symmetrical blue stone cottage has classic soaring 4.5 metre ceilings, original fireplaces and gorgeous windows, original skirtings and doors. Marvel at the worn bricks on the front veranda where children used to stand to be served at the serving window maybe hoping to catch a glimpse of the Postmistress's monkey; yes she really did have a very cheeky and playful pet monkey who was an escape artist in his own right! From the street, view the original telegraphy connectors still attached to the front of the house! This historic home is surrounded by local heritage buildings such as the original bakery, boot makers shop, the Temperance Hotel, stables and the former haberdashery store next door is now Stamps Restaurant which is itself a multi award winning business showcasing fresh local produce with a contemporary Australian theme. This property is filled with natural light reflected by enormous mirrors mounted over the three fireplaces. It is positioned in close proximity to some of Adelaide's best known and highly sought after private schools including Scotch College (Junior campus across the road!) and Mercedes College. It is in Unley High School zoning, close to Mitcham Girls, Kingswood Primary, Urbrae Agricultural High School, Adelaide University's Waite Campus and only 1 km to Mitcham Shopping Centre which has a huge range of retail and specialty shopping and services and Wallis Cinemas. There are gyms, cafes and a wide range of food choices with bus stops running along Welbourne Street & Albert Street you never wait long for your next bus into the city or down to Mitcham Square Shopping Centre.
