Perfectly nestled with a stunning established garden, situated on the historic main street of Macclesfield. The formal lounge was once the Post Office, Pharmacy and General Store. Included on the property is the town's original bakery with its own street frontage, completely separate from the main house. In the middle of the 19th Century, Macclesfield was one of South Australia's most significant country towns. It was one of the Adelaide Hills earliest towns, established in 1841 and providing services for passing miners, farmers and travellers.
The spectacular property was built around 1860 from original Macclesfield stone. A wired security/alarm system forms part of the main house . Around 1994 additional accommodation was built attached to the original Bakery, known as "The Studio" by the current owners. It consists of a very large room able to be used as a bedroom with space for a dining and living area. This room has two large French doors opening onto the large elevated deck overlooking the garden as well as two large windows allowing ample natural light. It has a laundry and bathroom with a door and a newly fitted security door with a doggy door that leads to the large decked area overlooking the garden. The studio has its own private access from the street via the front door of the original bakery or via the decking at the back.
The main home has a grand double door entrance facing the street with a custom made triple lock security door fitted in June 2024 as well as the original shutters. High ceilings , central ceiling roses, and elaborately dressed drapes on the windows. The master bedroom has direct access to the main bathroom and dressing room. There are 3 large wardrobes providing ample storage. The dressing room has a very large wardrobe and a window overlooking the garden. The ornate fireplace in its original condition is a beautiful feature in the main bedroom. A semi stained glass door and security door leads from the bedroom to the spacious elevated outdoor deck overlooking the garden. All sash windows throughout the home are operational, have original glass panels and timber shutters which beautifully frame the outside garden. Original floorboards in the entrance, dressing room and bedrooms, protected for many years by carpet are another feature of the home.
Apart from the street double door entrance, there is also a side formal front door with an ornate old word charm steel security door that leads into a decently sized entrance. A staircase allows access to downstairs into a country style dining area graced with original features of a stone fireplace that frames a newly fitted Scandia Warmbrite 300 wood fire slow combustion heater capable of heating the entire downstairs area.

The stove and oven are electric and an additional fan to the kitchen allows for excellent ventilation when cooking . The laundry is incorporated in the kitchen. From the downstairs dining room, a grand church like timber lockable door leads into a spacious cellar that is underground (the house is built into a hill).
