11 Heather Road, Aldgate, SA 5154

This classic Max Pritchard award winning design is located in the heart of Aldgate in the picturesque Adelaide Hills. According to Houses Magazine, this quality built house by one of South Australia’s leading & most awarded contemporary architects “…..now has the status of a classic.”

The house rises over three levels using the slope of the land to gain access by bridge to the main living area on the mid level.

A mezzanine bedroom overlooks the living area creating a feeling of space with its two storey windows maximising views across the Aldgate Valley to Mt Lofty summit.

Projections from the house accommodate cupboards, stair landings and balconies. These are clad in sheet plywood and corrugated iron, reinforcing the colour and texture of surrounding tree trunks.

The house comprises three large bedrooms (currently two bedrooms & a studio). A cantilevered main balcony extends the dining area outdoors on an elevated deck reaching closer to the leafy yard.

The kitchen is finely tuned for efficiency featuring a double sink in an integrated stainless steel benchtop & splashback. The refrigerator and rangehood are both built into the cabinetry (concealed) for a clean and simple, uncluttered kitchen workspace which includes a generous pantry. Cooking appliances are stainless steel, all electric by St. George.

The main bathroom features a round Japanese style plunge bath with spa jets. All fittings & fixtures have been carefully considered from the italian glass mosaic tiles in both bathrooms to the tapware, basins, mixers, & toilets. The lighting design compliments the sculptural form of the interior extending outdoors.

The yard is predominantly landscaped with Australian native trees and shrubs on drip irrigation. A lush lawn is watered subsurface by waste water from the house.

The property is within walking distance of Aldgate Village and just 3 minutes drive to Stirling and the freeway to Adelaide city and suburbs.

Truly a unique opportunity perfect for the design conscious couple looking for an inspirational environment.
