8 Colorado Drive, Glenalta, SA 5052

Privately tucked away in a peaceful Hills enclave, this architectural four-bedroom family home on 773 sqm (approx) enjoys an open dialogue with nature on the doorstep of Belair National Park.

Meander through luxuriant naturalistic gardens or drive straight through to the back to drop shopping and kids beneath a sensational all-weather pergola linking the auto tandem carport with the house.

At one with its surrounds, beautiful big windows and raked ceilings set the scene for a light & airy interior, freshly refurbished & decorated to please in calming modern neutrals, & complete with ducted evaporative cooling and an alarm system.

The floorplan is relaxed & free-flowing with a spacious back hall providing an ideal study space between the open-plan family room and two generous double bedrooms, all freshly carpeted for that added touch of luxury. The larger of these is the private master suite complete with its own dressing room and a gorgeous new contemporary ensuite.

The centrally located family room is dramatic with dark beams drawing the eye upwards to lofty ceilings; while a gas fired ceramic log stove provides instant cheer in cooler weather.

To one side, a stylish off-white kitchen offers plenty of storage and bench space with a full quota of white appliances and behind, a large laundry has handy outside access.

Opposite, two children's bedrooms with floating timber floors and great built-ins, together with a full modern family bathroom, are conveniently located off a side hall, with the rear bedroom further enjoying direct access from the pergola.

Flowing on from the family room, through French doors, and stepping down into the split-level formal rooms, polished timber floors are warmly inviting while abundant glass draws the focus outside through tree-dappled gardens to inspiring ridge views of Belair National Park.

The all-weather pergola is key to the home's outdoorsy lifestyle and is a favourite venue for relaxing barbecues with family and friends. Come rain or shine, children can ride bikes and play here or in the rustic cubby on the terraced lawn above the house where they can get up close and personal with abundant birdlife and the resident koala.

In harmony with its surrounds, yet just scenic minutes from neighbouring Belair's trendy cafes, shops and excellent schools including St John's Grammar.
