5 Barunga Street, Eden Hills, SA 5050

This Eden Hills gem can now be yours! So many people have driven past this superb property in its prime location and been enchanted. It is indeed charming!
Around 1925 this character home was built in a lovely hills setting and these vendors are only its third owners.
It is a unique residence in that its construction is jarrah, (including its wide verandahs) with baltic pine floorboards. Set back from the road it is nestled in the centre of a huge allotment that provides your own little piece of hills paradise. The natural treed surrounds are a children's delight for building cubby houses, tree houses, swings, camp fires, exploring and having fun times. Three children have grown up here and the family has enjoyed the freedom as well as its proximity to schools, train and bus transport, access to Flinders Uni and Hospital. Why would you live elsewhere?
It is such a pretty house. The extensive verandahs surround the house and the balustrades protect small children as well as adding to the character. From the verandah, the front door with appealing leadlight window opens to a long passage from which comes, the first two bedrooms - both double in size, one with substantial floor to ceiling built in robes, the other with original robes and cupboards in place.
Original features have been retained and add to the charm. There are high ceilings throughout, pleasant neutral colours, good quality carpet in the bedrooms and polished floorboards. The lounge is a gracious room with French doors leading to the side verandah, a very effective open fire and reverse cycle air conditioning. The main bedroom has a wall of quality floor to ceiling robes and is a pleasant north facing room.
Families love the kitchen/ dine! It is definitely the hub of the home and is great for family get togethers or meals with friends with its light filled ambience and double doors opening to the rear verandah. The verandah is an extension of the home on every side and is a great spot to sit with a drink and a good book and absorb the tranquility and beauty of nature. Parrots, kookaburras and koalas are amongst the visitors here.
Access to the back yard is easy with a ramp from the verandah and many a barbecue has been held here. There is a handy shed for storage, stone retainer walls give shape to the garden beds, there's a chook house, cubby, established fruit trees and a dripper system.
So much has been done - rewiring, plumbing, internal cladding and ceiling, replacing roof and gables, just to name a few.
The property is for sale by Expressions of Interest. The closing date is Friday 28th August at 5pm. Don't miss this opportunity!
