With hills and city views to take your breath away, a pool and deck made to watch the sun go down and clean, crisp lines with a modern interior; this innovative residence will fill you with awe.
The property has been designed with floor-to-ceiling glass walls along the north side to capture the most of those extraordinary visual aspects of the surrounding scenery, while still providing a sense or privacy and seclusion. Separate yourself from the disturbance and stress of daily life, and consider this property your own unique sanctuary to unwind in.
After viewing this 'haven on the hill' it will not surprise you to learn that the home was designed by one of Adelaide's finest architects, Rod Roach. Built in 1971, the residence has stood the test of time and remains an example of outstanding design. The home is still winning awards today, winning the Derrick Kendrick Award for Sustainable Architecture in 2013 after the current owner's meticulous renovations.
All three double bedrooms feature basins and built-in-robes, while the angled exterior wall panels allow privacy without hindering the beauty of the vistas on your doorstep. Indulge in what could be your own private day spa; the bathroom featuring a deep-set bath with shower head and the separate shower has views down to the pool and across to the valley below.
Preparing your daily meals with be a feast for the senses, with Miele kitchen appliances and sweeping gully views providing a cooking environment that will inspire you to whip up the tastiest of meals. With a hidden fridge, abundance of storage space and room for a dining suite, it will be all too easy to cook dinner with a glass of wine in hand while taking in sights.
Use the extensive south facing corridor of the home as a gallery space to display your treasures, or set up your easel and create your own works of art. This space is ideal as a home office or studio, with a broad in-built desk and storage along the corridor. The adjacent open-plan laundry delivers the opportunity to spread out your paints and art supplies, while being in arms-reach of a sink for the clean-up.
Although this time of year your entertaining would be well-suited to the open fireplace in the open-plan living/dining room, it is the outdoor deck that will take pride of place as the entertaining hotspot during the warmer months. The hardwood deck looks across the gully and is the prefect perch to keep an eye on your guests frolicking in the pool below.
Guests can even have their own wing of the house, with the second and third bedrooms being separated from the remainder of the home by a second living room, while the second bedroom has its own small private balcony. There is also a powder room in the corridor (complete with porthole), for added convenience.
The renovations in recent years have given the property underfloor heating in the master bedroom and living spaces, plenty of storage in the kitchen and gallery corridor, polished concrete floors, heated towel rails in the bathroom, overhead speakers and data cabling throughout the house.
Each room has internet wiring, the dining area has an overhead speaker system, the towel rails are heated, there's underfloor heating throughout the house including the bathroom.
The landscaping has been done and although it's a large block, maintenance is low. Ideally suited to families, the home would also appeal to busy executives, active retirees, nature lovers and entertainers.
An exquisite home presenting a designer lifestyle in an idyllic setting - this is a rare opportunity to own your own architectural retreat only 20 minutes from the heart of the city.
