A great family home where everyone can relax in this architecturally designed, environmentally friendly, western red cedar house.
Created to capture the best aspect of the northern sun, the solar positioning of the house allows the sunlight to flood in during winter and protects it from the summer heat with a wide verandah spanning the front of the home. The land is well elevated, private, with superb views.
The front entrance features floor to ceiling windows allowing passive solar heating to warm the slate flooring. The open plan living area and dining room has expansive picture windows which take advantage of the glorious vistas.
Flowing and flexible living for families who need space is catered for by the kitchen being the central hub of the home. Stacks of storage space and loads of gleaming timber benchtops for work preparation will inspire creative cooking and entertaining.
The family room is positioned adjacent to the kitchen and you can create a cocoon of winter comfort with a crackling fire in the slow combustion heater â& amp;acirc;?¬& amp;acirc;?? a lovely cosy spot for everyone to relax.
A spacious study with reverse cycle air conditioning is positioned above the kitchen and living area.
Four bedrooms with built-in robes are situated in the remaining wing of the home away from the living spaces. All bedrooms enjoy the fabulous vista and the master bedroom has the added benefit of a generous ensuite bathroom.
Other features include underfloor heating throughout the home and ceiling fans.
The beauty of outdoor living is highlighted under the expansive verandah that spans the length of the home and overlooks the gently sloping, north facing uninterrupted views across the Mt Lofty Ranges - a peaceful sanctuary from sunrise to sunset!
Rainwater is supplied to the home from two 12,500 gallon tanks and the bore takes care of the garden set on approximately 2.5 acres of accessible land which is divided into 3 paddocks to offer flexibility. In addition, a site has been cleared and retained in readiness for a tennis court.
Abundant garaging is provided with a double carport and workshop positioned adjacent to the home plus a double lock-up garage with concrete flooring. There is another small lockable shed for storage. 3 phase power is available from either near the dam or from the rear of the home.
Close proximity to both Stirling and Aldgate Villages and easy access to the freeway offers the opportunity to combine the best of city and rural living.
