Quiet country styled residence nicely positioned on an easy care 883m2 allotment with wonderful back yard, shaded by huge Elm Tree which is the perfect summer place to relax with family and friends.
In 1957 a weekend walk through a large paddock only with cows lead to the discovery of this block by the current owners, who then went onto build their family home.
Still with many original qualities this two storey four bedroom home has stood the test of time and displays remarkable contemporary attributes with a flexible layout.
Established trees and shrubs at the front provide a superb privacy screen, while floor to ceiling windows allow natural light in and delightful tree top views.
Tiled floors and high ceilings through the kitchen and open plan living/dining room with split system reverse cycle air conditioner and open fire place for winter comfort and toasting marshmallows.
Separate lounge room gives the children a place for their entertainment unit, computers, TV and games or can be opened up by double doors to the living room.
Also on the ground level is a study or 4th bedroom, wc, laundry while the bathroom is on the first floor.
Three bedrooms upstairs all with built in robes and split system air conditioners in two are comfortably located adjacent to the main bathroom. The main bedroom has a door to the balcony for an early morning stretch or a quiet coffee enjoying the view.
Fully fenced backyard has a superb red brick paved alfresco area under the canopy of the magnificent Elm Tree, lock up garage, and what could be a self-sufficient garden of veges and fruit trees. Great yard space for the kids and pets to run amuck.
Location is always important to a growing family and this property offers 200 metres to Scotch College, a short cycle to the Torrens Park Train Station, Unley High, Mitcham Primary and the Randall Reserve just a couple of hundred metres away with 400 hectares to explore.
Inspection recommended.
