The sale of this 1970's well maintained home is an opportunity not to be missed. Just a 15-minute drive from the city and surrounded by the picturesque beauty of the Adelaide Hills - leafy trees of every shade, rolling green hills, koalas, native birds. Soak in the tranquility! A well loved home for many years in a botanical garden setting, this residence is perfect for a modern makeover and additions (STCC). Currently disposed as three bedrooms - two with built-ins - and a large bathroom, there is huge potential to add value by extending the home into the existing carport under the main roof to provide a total of four bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and walk-in robe, taking full advantage of the pristine valley views across Aldgate, Stirling and Mt Lofty. The single Title currently covers two blocks each measuring 766.41sqm or a total of 1532sqm with a 30m street frontage, providing the possibility of sub division (STCC) or the use of the second block to construct a new driveway and garage (STCC), complete with over 200m of stunning bluestone retaining wall and stairways - a labour of love and masterpiece of craftsmanship in themselves. As it is, this residence would make the small family an idyllic home. Live in today and extend tomorrow, the choice is yours. A light filled lounge with a lofty ceiling and beautiful windows overlooks the gorgeous front garden. A split system air conditioner and oil heater ensure comfort all year round. A large eat-in kitchen with solid timber cabinetry offers ample bench space including an island bench and walk-in pantry, and could be opened through to the lounge room or the outside entertaining area. Rainwater is plumbed to the kitchen. A large main bathroom offers a spa bath, shower and vanity. A spacious outdoor entertaining area, covered by a pergola, is adjacent to a large green lawn with beautiful sunset views to Mt Lofty. The fully landscaped garden offers large useable areas for development or recreation with space for a swimming pool with views at the rear (STCC). The practicalities of life in the garden have not been forgotten, with a large veggie patch and chicken coop plus workshop and tool shed with concrete floors and power. Pop-up and spray irrigation systems make maintaining the stunning garden a breeze. Close to quality schools, shops and public transport and a short commute to the city, this lovely property must be seen to be appreciated. Don't miss your opportunity to see the potential of this rare double block and house with pristine views for yourself.
