Trees, views & peace - a true haven from the urban bustle less than 5 minutes away!
A no-through road location and breathtaking views across Brownhill Creek Recreation Reserve, give this sixties home on a skilfully landscaped 1016m2 hillside allotment a unique sense of escape, while only minutes to Mitcham Shopping Centre and five of Adelaide's most popular schools including Mercedes and Scotch College.
Designed and built by the current owner, the double brick and sawn sandstone home - the stone came from three different quarries: Wistow, Basket Range and Carey Gully - sits on solid rock, so no cracks ever!
The warmth of it is palpable with northern light and views flooding elegant split-level living areas, where patio doors entice you out to lush terraced gardens at the rear and onto a huge elevated frontal terrace to be at one with nature. Never was there a more captivating venue for a barbecue, party or a bit of 'you' time.
A sliding door connects the dining space with a homely terracotta-tiled kitchen boasting all its original painted wooden cabinetry but updated with gorgeous modern stainless steel appliances. It has a lovely cosy feel with a breakfast bar against the wall, telephone/admin station and glorious backyard views from the kitchen sink.
There are three carpeted double bedrooms with fabulous built-ins. These include the reserve-view master that further romances with its original ensuite. The terrazzo flooring here is again a highlight of the full main bathroom, a separate toilet, laundry and a breezeway to backyard leisure, where there is plenty of opportunity to grow your own.
A study or fourth bedroom with polished timber floors is privately located at the top of an open-tread timber staircase leading down to the entry foyer just steps from a carport and attached garage which is really a man cave with plenty of space to indulge manly passions.
Completely unique; a must see!
