8 Maude Street, Allenby Gardens, SA 5009

Solid brick and one of a kind with a 5-star energy rating; courtyard comfort takes a family turn in a quiet leafy pocket, walking distance to Linear Park leisure and top schools including St Michael's and Nazareth colleges.

Consider the benefits of a home powered by the sun - clean, free energy unleashing its winter-warming attributes via a central, North-facing courtyard, solar panels slashing your running costs and an HIA award for energy efficiency to boot. As if you needed any proof!

And just as the original owners have lived here happily for 21 years, so will you.

Fall for the low-maintenance beauty of brick - lashings of it - broadcasting its thermal mass and warming tones throughout a prettily gabled façade and cleverly zoned floor plan offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, a study and a double garage with secure direct access to the home.

In the wide entry and first of the living areas, bamboo flooring parades stylish eco credentials, stepping out to entertain in paved privacy. Tiled open-plan family areas follow, brandishing the same courtyard connection and an all-white kitchen with crowd-pleasing capacity and walk-in pantry.

Let kids and guests go their own way in a wing of their own, with a fair share of the 3-way bathroom, laundry and store. Two bedrooms. One has a wall of storage and private access to that courtyard. Flip a coin. Tails win!

Meanwhile, there'll be no tossing a coin for the master. Head back to the front for a parental haven with a walk-in robe and ensuite bigger than most, adjacent a study that would welcome any new additions to the family fold.

Palm-fringed hard landscaping adds carefree appeal to front and rear, leaving you free to explore your lifestyle options - parks, sporting and entertainment venues all nearby - and the buses that will zip you to town just 4ks away.

If you like your easy-care with eco and lifestyle, it's time to move over to Maude.
