Elevation, semi-rural seclusion and privacy, with gum-studded views your Bridgewater bonus. In a township renown for its distinctly English feel (and the Petaluma Winery) discover timeless homestead appeal some 15 minutes from Adelaide.
With urban in the rear-view mirror, it won't be hard to adapt to these manageable 780sqm surrounds - retaining walls of cascading green and sloping lawns dotted with mature trees standing ready turn on their autumn colour.
Block the world out and settle yourselves in...
Inside, tranquil neutrals make easy work of décor, a large-scale family living room warms everyone in range of the combustion fire and Colonial windows bring garden glory in.
Keeping country on side, the timber eat-in kitchen does what it does best - serve. With its stainless oven, range, platter-worthy bench space, and servery pass feeding the formal dining room - it can only spell dig in.
And fire up the pot belly stove; this chimney stack stays warm for days...
Or venture through one of the French door exits to paved and shaded verandahs, where a park bench or two and your thoughts prevail.
Drift off to two good-sized bedrooms each with sliding robes, ceiling fans and a guaranteed garden wake-up - if the birdlife doesn't sing first.
While easily adaptable as a third bedroom, the formal dining room offers entertaining scope for couples or a fine start for a young family.
The long gravel drive gives ample parking and turning space ahead of the detached garage as you embark on a picturesque school drop-off to Bridgewater or Aldgate Primary School.
Stretch the legs on Engelbrecht Reserve nearby and discover a pocket of privacy gifting freeway freedom and easy city reach with your own spot on the hill...
