Enjoy the perfect alternative hills lifestyle with simple, relaxed style and no concession on comfort. Discreetly set off this quiet road to capture wonderful views across hills, valleys and changing skies, this beautiful tranquil setting is shared with a variety of warbling birds and a comfortable resident koala.
Positioned with perfect solar orientation to the north east, the warmth of the sun is enjoyed on winter days and fills the living area on the bleakest of days and cool protection from the verandah is provided in the heat of summer. On 1,580 m2, the home is designed with an eye for detail ensuring easy care maintenance and comprehensive fire protection.
North-eastern facing windows and large sliding doors connect inside to the outdoors, and provide wonderful, natural light throughout the home. Spaces are efficient, adaptable and flow easily.
A stunning combination of organic materials such as timber, stone and conglomerate marble, all work together seamlessly with floor to ceiling glass, tiles, render and thick carpet to create a cosy retreat in cold weather. With the wood combustion heater and chairs placed in front of the expansive windows it is not difficult to imagine retreating into this home. A solid thick feature wall of stone on the western side offer further protection from the western sun.
The low slung angles, beams and cedar timber paneling alongside simple lines including white tiling and fresh painted finishes as well as a carefully designed, practical floor plan make for a timeless design reminiscent of a Scandinavian country home. Similarly, the layout offers simple and smart living options.
Entry from the front door is into a passage that works as an air lock for energy efficiency, once inside the main living area there is immediately a sense of privacy and seclusion. The views complete this highly appealing space. The living/dining area with kitchen is central to the home. The kitchen offers timber cabinetry with a generous breakfast bar, Simpson electric wall oven and five-burner gas cook top and a kitchen window view that has the potential to be distracting in the most positive way. A large laundry adjacent the kitchen completes this very functional work space.
To the eastern end of the home are the three bedrooms set off a large open study or second living area with sliding doors to the verandah. The second and third bedroom offer simple, built-in storage and are a comfortable size to enjoy individual space. A full bathroom services the bedrooms and has an adjacent linen cupboard. The main bedroom once again enjoys views through sliding windows across the trees and hills and can be opened at night for fresh air. This bedroom is completed with en suite and mirror-fronted, built-in robes.
Outside the long spreading verandah can be enjoyed all-year round for a cuppa or a quiet evening drink with the lawn as a restful green spot. Under the old oak tree would be perfect to picnic-at-home on a summer day. All this is easy to sit back and enjoy when the property is landscaped for low maintenance with simple pavers and thick gravel around the yard and entry.
Located in a 14km radius of the GPO, pick up some goodies from Burnside Shopping Centre ten minutes away and make a quick escape to the hills. Alternatively, take time to explore what is on offer at nearby Uraidla, Summertown and other hills towns. Undertake rambling walks around Cleland and Mount Lofty. Enjoy the hills.
This home offers is a unique opportunity which will be hard to match.
