43 Bellevue Drive, Bellevue Heights, SA 5050

Based on the influences of mid century modernist American architecture, noted award winning architect John S Chappel designed this space efficient home circa 1960. A bold architectural statement with an emphasis on strong horizontal and vertical lines was created. The lines between the indoor and outdoor spaces have been blurred as the home was constructed around the central courtyard with large panels of floor to ceiling glass walls overlooking the fresh space.

Shape and form were of primary importance to the design of this home and consequently an incredibly good home was built.

Perched on the top of the site to enjoy the most amazing outlooks across the coast and Flinders university, the home almost appears cantilevered, whereas the pool is actually the only canitlevered element of this home.

The driveway leads to the rear entrance of the home and double remote garaging. However the front of the property offers a wonderful street appeal of this long, flat roofed home. At the front of the property, the glass pool fence secures the pool area without restricting the great outlooks across to the coast. The solar heated and salt chlorinated swimming pool also has swim jets for those people looking for some exercise. For ease and convenience, an automatic system issues the correct doses to ensure the PH levels are always correct.

Timber decking spans across the entrance way leading to the home. Flooring in the entrance hallway, dining, kitchen and family room is funky and modern random Mintaro slate stone. The living room offers stone fireplace, plush charcoal toned carpet and the hallway areas and bedrooms feature gleaming parquetry flooring.

Essentially divided into zones, the home offers the master bedroom with built-in robes, terrazzo bathroom and study positioned at one end and two other bedrooms with built-in robes and the second bathroom positioned at the opposing end. The living spaces separate the bedrooms.

The sitting and dining room are cleverly situated adjacent to the kitchen and overlooking the courtyard. Simply spectactular kitchen is still fitted with the original Californian red pine cabinetry, however the kitchen was updated 3 years ago to incorporate a dishwasher, electric oven, gas hotplates and wok burner. The benchtops are now top quality granite. Wonderful if you like to entertain as the flow from inside to out is sensational.

Adjacent family room also overlooks the courtyard and has a separate front door entrance too. The two remaining bedrooms are separated by the family bathroom.

Terraced garden on 1379m2 is reticulated although very low maintenance as the space has been well landscaped with retaining walls. The rear courtyard area offers a handy workshop with power. In addition, the home has a reverse cycle split system air conditioning unit, also evaporative air conditioning and a gas fire. Security system is also available.

Well situated only a few minutes from Flinders University and Hospital, transport, easy access to Blackwood or Marion shopping precincts and also close to the CBD.

A home to suit the smaller family who enjoy comfort, security and convenience and most of all who will appreciate the solar passive northern orientation and architectural merit of this property.
