5 Butler Drive, Strathalbyn, SA 5255

This is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a home with 2.5 acres of land on the North side of Strathalbyn on the "Springfield Estate".

A Gravel circular drive creates an island of native trees and bush reflecting tranquil colours and planted particularly to attract bird life.

Built in 1990 this immaculately maintained brick veneer home is surprisingly spacious.

The front verandah opens to an entrance and formal dining area which could be converted to other additional uses.

The large formal lounge is spacious and light being surrounded by windows and sliding doors giving access to the outside entertaining area. A wonderful summer room but with a wood burning fire this is also a lovely winter room. Casual living is accommodated with a good size family room. Again surrounded by glass it is comfortable in summer and winter with a split system reverse cycle air conditioner.

The lounge and family rooms have been built to surround the Central outside undercover paved entertaining area all opening to each other with the kitchen able to serve directly to the entertaining area. This can accommodate a large crowd in all weather conditions. All the living rooms and entertaining area overlook the lawn and native bush which brings in abundant bird life.

The kitchen is indeed the heart of the home and this one is large enough for a table to seat ten people. The quality Blackwood "supreme" designed kitchen has units and overhead cupboards on three sides with great bench space, electric wall oven and five burner gas cook top. A dishwasher is convenient and the double sink has, like all taps and shower heads in the house, rainwater connected with the facility to convert to mains water.

There are four bedrooms in the home with the spacious master bedroom enjoying a good sized en-suite, walk in robes and additional built in robes. The three remaining bedrooms are all generously sized to accommodate a king sized bed or two single beds and all have built in robes. Cleverly designed the home can accommodate separate families, or give guests or parents a little extra space. Either end of the house has a living room, two bedrooms and access to a bathroom, while the kitchen, located in the middle is the meeting ground.

The three way bathroom has ample cupboard space with floor to ceiling linen press and built in vanity. Direct outdoor access is provided from the laundry. The laundry again has no shortage of cupboards.

The house is cooled with a ducted evaporative system.

The immediate surrounds of the house are maintained as Santa Anna lawn and formal herb garden while further out and hidden behind native bushes, there are four raised veggie plots and room for chooks. The established gardens and fruit trees which include macadamia nut and avocado all have drip feed watering systems. There is a large area of native bush and trees.

The property is on a corner and is bound by a creek which is downhill from the house. Five large blocks back from the main road, you feel as though you are miles from anywhere yet you are located within walking distance to Strathalbyn town centre and transport and being on the North side of the township, only 45 minutes clear driving from the centre of Adelaide and less than 20 minutes from Mount Barker.

There is a 20,000 gallon rainwater tank and large shed with an additional small garden shed. This is a great opportunity to own a lovely home with a lifestyle hard to come by.
