204 Piccadilly Road, Piccadilly, SA 5151

Luxuriating in rolling countryside views all the way to Mt Lofty summit; this neat-as-a-pin, three-bedroom home on 1097sqm is the perfect country escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, just twenty minutes away.

The solid brick sixties home is warm, inviting and stylishly decorated to please, while retaining a strong vintage vibe with original fixtures and fittings throughout.

From every vantage point, you get a real feel of country through plentiful picture windows that provide an unbroken connection with grassy slopes and forested ridges, never to be built out.

Three separate living areas and a backyard terrace offer plenty of scope for entertaining and relaxation: the dual-aspected lounge charms with a character fireplace and decorative ceiling while the open-plan kitchen has a great range of painted retro timber storage including an island bench and a double-sided peninsula unit separating the workspace from the dining area. Highlights here are a Scandinavian fireplace and glass bay with a window seat for ringside views.

Adjoining the kitchen, a generous sunroom with a ceramic tiled floor and cosy pot belly stove is the perfect confluence of indoor and outdoor spaces; with its long sweep of glass taking in the paved terrace and stone-tiered gardens. Connecting with a laundry at one end and storeroom at the other, this light-infused space could be used for just about anything including rumpus, hobby room or pet area.

With three carpeted double bedrooms including the main with great built-in storage, there will always be plenty of room for visiting family and friends. And when they do, all will appreciate the full family bathroom and adjacent powder room, both with original terrazzo flooring.
For those hoping for a fourth bedroom, there is potential to create a master suite in the attached auto garage which, with three-phase power, is an added attraction for the home welder or ceramicist.

Outside, the camellia-hedged gardens to front, side and rear were rescued from oblivion about three years ago. Now mulched and manicured; walnut, nectarine, peach, espaliered apples, blueberries and raspberries thrive amid specimen trees and shrubs, with areas of lawn for relaxation. Grounds and house alike enjoy the pure properties of Piccadilly spring water pumped along new pipe work from a high output bore.
