This beautiful double brick residence offers a perfect home for a family & those who love to entertain & accommodate guests. Starting out as a bungalow built in 1925, this is only the second time this cherished family home has been on the market. As the years have passed, the original house has had architecturally designed extensions, preserving high ceilings throughout, which now incorporate a large sunlit north facing living/dining room with four bedrooms, two bathrooms (plus extra shower & toilet), a billiard room & sitting room.

Set on 3330 sqm of land, this gracious home is surrounded by shady verandahs & overlooks the city, a floodlit north/south facing tennis court & water wise, terraced gardens. A magical garden in which to lose yourself, it has a wide terrace providing the ideal spot for entertaining friends & family. A quaint cottage set in the grounds, is ideal as an artists' studio. Old stables currently serve as wood & storage facilities. Unusual for many hills properties, the topography of this block, allows the use of flat land around the house for entertaining. There is also access via car to the same level as the single story residence area, making it ideal for those with mobility issues.

Kept true to its original heritage the home boasts lofty ceilings, Western Red Cedar 4 panel doors & cedar framed sash windows. It has decorative ceilings throughout the original house. A central kitchen with a breakfast bar & servery provides plenty of storage & bench space & overlooks the north facing sunlit, open plan living & dining room with stunning city views through large windows. A cosy formal sitting room boasts an open fire with a wide hearth & timber mantle, the ideal place to spend a cold winters' evening.

The master bedroom has an enormous bank of wall to wall, floor to ceiling cupboards & an ensuite with large shower alcove, toilet & vanity. All of the bedrooms are generously proportioned & offer ceiling fans & beautiful aspects over the surrounding gardens. Bedroom 4 has a built-in work station & can be used as a home office.

Appealing to large families, or those who accommodate guests, the house easily divides into two wings, connected by a wide central hallway. The first wing contains two living areas, master bedroom with ensuite & 4th bedroom/study (plus extra shower and toilet). The second wing houses the remaining two king-sized bedrooms, an enormous billiard room with access to the verandah & a second three way bathroom. Ideal for teenagers!

A cellar underneath the home caters for the wine buff & the sweeping driveway leads to ample car parking with a double lock up garage, additional garaging or storage space & car port at the southern end of the home.

Located just a short commute to the city, it is close to public transport and colleges (Mercedes, Scotch and St Johns') and Flinders University & Hospital. There is a possibility to subdivide subject to council approval if there are no tennis players in the family. Leave the city behind you & live amongst the tree tops with breathtaking views. Have the best of both worlds & provide your family with a lifestyle to be envied by many.
