This stunning two storey Victorian residence is one of the best available in this very popular suburb but it was never intended to be sold.
The owner built it for his family and spared no expense in finishing it to his exacting standards. Quality selections were made throughout and great care was taken with period detailing.
“Life changes so while the owners never envisaged moving the time has now arrived”, said selling agent, Chris Dimitrak, from Dimitrak Real Estate. “The money invested here means great buying for a new owner who can enjoy everything this stunning home offers.”
The corner position is commanding with tremendous street appeal. Elegant fencing featuring rendered posts and ornate black iron railings sets the tone for period grandeur.
The home boasts four separate living areas, up to four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a fantastic outdoor pergola area for outdoor entertaining. Together with a classic neutral colour palette, there is a lovely feeling of light and space on both levels.
The wide timber staircase just inside the entry hall is a real feature and one can easily imagine many grand descents being made by family members. Despite the formality, this is a remarkable family home for relaxed living with huge rooms that offer plenty of space for everyone.
The open plan kitchen and living area flows effortlessly through to a paved alfresco dining area. Covered by a large gabled roof pergola, it is framed by a simple low maintenance garden where you can enjoy the sounds of birdlife from the Morialta Conservation Park just next door.
Some of the many period details include bay windows, leadlight, tessellated tiling, a hallway ceiling rose, wide cornices, filigree exterior lacework and roof finials. But the modern comforts are just as numerous, including a sliding automatic entry gate, reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, energy efficient down lights, home theatre, ducted vacuum system, security system and intercom.
The garage has an automatic panel lift door and parks two cars and there is also a garden shed at rear.
Proximity to the city while living adjacent a National Park is something that may only be found in Adelaide, and it’s why this north-eastern suburb is so popular. Walking trails are on your doorstep or you can relax and enjoy the gully scenery and seasonal waterfalls that are all found within the Park.
“The location lets you live a world away from the bustle of the CBD while still having easy access,” said Chris. “It’s just a short 10km drive to the city centre. The choice of quality schools in this vicinity including Rostrevor College, Saint Ignatius and Stradbroke Primary School is also an influence for many families. It’s a very desirable package.”
