A cleverly designed steel pole frame home brilliantly positioned on a sloping allotment with an intriguing blend of angles, pitched roof levels and striking colours.
This home was created and designed by the owners with an artistic bent, and is just like a dramatic piece of artwork framed by a valley overlooking a gum studded canvas.
The design simple yet striking (form follows function), every detail carefully considered, including the shape and angle of the driveway to offer ease of garaging.
Striking angles feature prominently throughout the split level home and combine well to showcase the splashes of colour detail on the "screening" walls that create different living zones.
The floorplan suits families who require some space and privacy with the master suite located at the front of the home. A courtyard area accessed through sliding doors is a lovely little retreat area to enjoy the newspaper and a cappuccino. The master bedroom is spacious and offers a walk-in robe and an ensuite bathroom.
Living and dining areas are set on the lower level of the split and are divided by an amythest coloured screening wall which also accommodates a gas log fire to make the area cosy, warm and comforting. The lounge features a built in bar and is a wonderful setting for entertaining family and friends. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is also available.
Open plan living is on offer flowing through to the kitchen where a splash of "cardigan" green creates a relaxing feel. The best views are available for whoever accepts the challenge of doing the dishes! Although the dishwasher makes living a lot simpler together with an electric oven, gas hotplates with a wok and fish burner, ample cabinetry and benchtop space. Casual dining and family living are adjacent. Loads of natural sunlight floods the entire home. Tasmanian oak floorboards, banks of windows and sliding doors run throughout the living spaces of the home, whereas the bedrooms are all carpeted.
Bedrooms for the children are situated on the mid level of the split at the opposing end of the home. Both are double in size and offer built-in robes. The studio could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom or utilised as a study area or home theatre space. Family bathroom is located in this section of the home.
Downstairs accommodates the laundry that would arguably offer the best laundry views in Adelaide! Also a workshop area, double remote garaging and an undercover area for the clothesline.
The garden has been designed to be very low maintenance so that a hedge trimmer can provide a few hours of creative fun a couple of times each year to follow the structural shapes throughout the garden. Terraced into two areas so access is easier with regulatory drippers on a fully automated and programmable watering system.
With the added benefit of back to base monitored security system, this home is well set up to lock-up securely.
In all, such a glorious setting, so peaceful and relaxing.
